Corrected Question:

The picture shows the dihybrid cross of 2 guinea pigs.

1. What is the genotype of the parents?

2. What is the phenotype of the parents?

3. What is the genotype of their baby guinea pig (in the empty box)?

a. BbRr - black rough fur

b. Bbrr - black smooth fur

c. bbRr- white rough fur

d. bbrr - white smooth fur

Answer:

Genotype of parents is BbRr as seen in the cross.

Phenotype of the parents is black rough furred.

The genotype of the baby in the empty box is bbRR.

Option D

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

This representation of the genetic crossing is called as Punnet square, after the name of the scientist who discovered this process to denote the probability of finding the required genotype in a statistical way.

Here both the parents are heterozygous black and rough furred, with the genotype of BbRr.

So the gametes from the parents are = BR, Br, bR, and br from both the parents which are represented in the Punnet square.

Thus we can get 16 types of genetic combinations among the offsprings.

"A man has a mutation in a mitochondrial gene encoding a subunit of the ATP synthase complex. The mutation leads to a defective

EastWind [94]

Answer:

Explanation:

Mitochondria is a cellular organelle that is used for the purpose of providing energy to the cell.
This cellular organelle has a special property that it has its own DNA and hence, the mitochondrial DNA is transmitted separately from the nuclear DNA, therefore any mutation arising in the mitochondrial DNA will only be inherited if the progeny receives the mitochondria with the mutated mitochondrial DNA.
Further, the mitochondrial inheritance in humans has a special property that only the mother transmits the organelle to the progeny.
Since in the given question the defect in the mitochondrial gene is in the father's mitochondria and in human beings the pattern of mitochondrial inheritance is such that only the mother transmit her mitochondria to the the progeny, the offspring of the man have 0% chance to inherit the defect.

Answer:

Covalent Bonds

Explanation:

Covalent bonds are also called molecular bonds, and its defined as chemical bonds that involves the sharing of electron pairs between atoms.
Examples of compounds that contain only covalent bonds are methane (CH4), carbon (iv) oxide (C $O_{2}$ ), etc.
