The ability to roll the tongue in humans is coded by the dominant allele R. The inability to roll the tongue is coded by the rec

essive allele r. A man with an RR allele combination for the trait produces a zygote with a woman with an rr allele combination for the trait. Which allele combination could occur in the zygote?
RR

Rr

The allele combination that could occur in the zygote is Rr.

<u>Explanation:</u>

A diploid parent contributes one allele of a gene to the gamete. Thus the gametes in human reproduction will be haploid so as to maintain the diploid nature of the zygote. In the given question both parents are homozygous and the inheritance follows Mendel’s laws.

The dominant allele is represented by the letter R and the recessive allele is represented by the letter r. One parent is homozygous dominant which means both the alleles in that parent is dominant and the genotype will be RR. The other parent is homozygous recessive with the genotype rr.

The cross can be represented as  

RR   \times     rr

Rr     Rr      Rr      Rr

All the progenies will have the genotype Rr and will be dominant and possess the ability to roll the tongue.

Igoryamba

Answer:

The following are the steps for making the human insulin protein for the health care market:  

1. Obtain the DNA from a human being who does not have diabetes.  

2. Modify the human gene, and provide it a promoter, which will get turn on when placed within the E.coli cell.  

3. Separate and make copies of the gene encrypting the insulin protein.  

4. Application of electroporation or heat shock method in order to administer the human insulin gene within the living E.coli cell.  

5. Development and growth of E.coli in the fermentation culture, and then extract and sell the humulin in the market.
