Also in lizards, color is controlled by a different gene. There are two alleles that are incompletely dominant to each other. Th

Answer:

25% percentage of the offspring will be black.

Explanation:

Let the genotype of  homozygous black color lizard  be "BB"

Let the genotype of homozygous white color lizard  be "bb"

Thus the genotype of heterogeneous grey color lizard will be "Bb"

Due to incomplete dominance, a recessive allele also expresses its trait when both dominant and recessive allele occur together.

Here two heterogeneous grey color lizard with genotype "Bb" reproduce. The offsprings produced are shown in the punnet square table as given below -

        B  b

B BB Bb

b Bb bb

The genotye "BB" will have black color

Thus out of 4 offspring only one is having black color

The percent chance that the offspring will have black color is

\frac{1}{4} * 100\\= 25%

Since between the two alleles (B for black and b for white) there is an incomplete dominance this means that the homozygotes for the one dominant trait (BB genotype) will be black, the homozygotes for the other trait (bb) will be white, and the heterozygotes (Bb) would be intermediate- grey.

So, the two grey lizards have the Bb genotypes.
When they cross we will get Bb x Bb
1 : BB  ( black lizards)
2: Bb  ( grey lizards)
1: bb ( white lizards)

Q2.1 - Hydrogen bonds can form with bases on the opposite DNA strands in the double helix, or between the bases and H2O in the s
Natali [406]

Answer:

Explanation:

In the  structure of  Nucleic acids the nucleobases (nucleotide and bases) are arranged is  a specific  form.This form of arrangement is called Base stacking.It simply refers to the bond formed between the adjacent bases.

These nitrogenous bases of (A,T,C.G) pairing  in DNA are in planes in geometry.The bases planes stack  with one another.This form of arrangement  give rooms for more Van der Waals interactions in the plane of the bases.Although the Van der Waals are weak interactions,the bond ensure that these bases are braided or twisted together to give maximum energy,to maintain stability of the bases,and therefore of DNA structure

Therefore in water  and other aqueous solution the stability of  structure of DNA is enhanced by the base stacking,(coiling or twisting)with maximum van der waals interaction  among the bases, than the hydrogen  bonds formed between bases.Generally there are more stacking among G-C,than A-T,thus the former pairing contribute more the structural stability than the latter (A-T)
