Q:- In dogs, the Mexican hairless phenotype never breeds true. When Mexican hairless are interbred the offspring are 2/3 hairles

s and 1/3 normal. It is also observed that some deformed puppies are born dead. Propose a genetic explanation for these observatios.

Explanation:

The problem says that the hairless phenotype never breeds true. That means that it's not the result of a homozygous genotype (H₁H₁ or H₂H₂), so it is caused by the heterozygous genotype (H₁H₂).

The <u>expected </u>offspring from the cross between two Mexican hairless would be:

<h3>P                 H₁H₂  x  H₁H₂</h3><h3>F1    1/4 H₁H₁,  2/4 H₁H₂ and 1/4 H₂H₂.</h3>

And the <u>expected</u> phenotypic ratio 3:1. However, the observed offspring shows a 2:1 ratio. What's happening?

If the observed phenotypic ratio in the offspring of a monohybrid cross (a single gene with two alleles) is 2:1, we can suspect that one of the genotypes is lethal in homozygosis and therefore does not appear in the progeny (the puppies are born dead).

If we proposed that the H₂ allele is lethal in homozygosis, then:

  • The H₁H₁ genotype would cause normal puppies --> 1
  • The H₁H₂ genotype would cause hairless puppies --> 2
  • The H₂H₂ is lethal and causes the death of puppies --> 0

The phenotypic ratios change to 2:1, as observed in the experiment.

Answer:

The correct answer is Wholesalers and Retailers

Explanation:

By and large, the retailing and wholesaling businesses (regularly alluded to as the distributive trades sector) speak to the transitional strides in the dispersion of stock or goods among manufacturers and consumers of merchandise.

Wholesale and retail exchange services are critical to the proficient and viable progression of merchandise from manufacturers to consumers.

Together the wholesaling and retailing enterprises represent critical bits of monetary yield and worldwide business.

AleksAgata [21]
Infectious agents are those that corrupt and prey on an organism or a host. This is sometimes called parasitism when a foreign organism consumes a host by preying on its nutrients and food. Hence, we are uncertain in Anna's case because there is no clear description of her symptoms.

Black fur in mice (
Tpy6a [65]
The answer is D) 1/2.

Let's imagine that two genes of the genotype can be analysed separately.

Black fur is determined by dominant allele B. In this case, parents Bb and BB will give offspring with only brown fur:
Parents:          Bb     x     BB 
Offspring:     BB   BB   Bb   Bb
Both homozygous (BB) and heterozygous (Bb) offspring will have black fur.

On the other hand, long tails are determined by recessive allele t. Parents Tt and tt will have 50% offspring with short tail and 50% offspring with long tail:
Parents:         Tt         x       tt
Offspring:    Tt      Tt        tt      tt
Heterozygous offspring (Tt) will have short tail, and homozygous offspring (tt) will have a long tail.

So, the offspring will definitely have black fur and will not affect the fraction of the offspring with black fur and long tails from the cross of <span>BbTt × BBtt. But, </span>there will be 2 out of 4 offspring with short tails which is 50% or 1/2.
