A researcher studying a member of the Conus genus of cone snails discovers that there are many dozens of slightly different vari

ants of venom proteins coded by closely related genes. What is the most likely explanation for this great variation? [Hint: The compounds likely diversified in a similar way as the multiple globin proteins in mammals did.]a.Multiple gene duplication events have led to the production of a paralogous multigene family.b.Hybridization between two snail species has left the offspring with multiple orthologous genes.c.Duplicated genes underwent incomplete gene conversion, leading to many errors in sequence.d.Concerted evolution resulted in the production of many venom genes, scattered throughout the genome.e.The last common ancestor of all cone snails had a diverse set of venom genes that have been inherited by all cone snails

Answer:

a. Multiple gene duplication events have led to the production of a paralogous multigene family.

Explanation:

A globin gene family consists of several clusters of related genes formed by duplication of an ancestral gene. The different variants of venom proteins coded by closely related genes can reply this ancestral gene, forming this way a globin gene family in Cone snails.

lesantik [10]

A statement which best supports the choice made in Part A (independent assortment) is: C. The diagram shows four unique gametes that are the result of two chromosomes separating in different ways.

<h3>Mendel's law of independent assortment.</h3>

Mendel's law of independent assortment is a theory which states that the alleles of two or more different genes are sorted into unique gametes that are independent of each another.

This ultimately implies that, the allele that is typically being received by a gamete for one gene doesn't influence or affect the type of allele that is received for another gene.

Based on the biological process (independent assortment) shown in the image attached below for part A, we can infer and logically deduce that a statement which best supports the choice made is that he diagram shows four unique gametes that are the result of two chromosomes separating in different ways.

iren2701 [21]

Answer:

  • 25 tall individuals, TT
  • 50 medium individuals, Tt
  • 25 short individuals, tt

Explanation:

<u>Available data</u>:

  • The size of this species was determined by a single gene
  • TT- Tall
  • Tt- Medium
  • tt- Short
  • Total number of individuals in the progeny, N = 100

There are three phenotypes and only one gene, so it seems that this is an example of incomplete dominance, where the medium-size is the intermediate form between tall-size and short-size.  

Cross: between two medium Gazorps

Parentals) Tt    x    Tt

Gametes) T  t       T   t

Punnett square)    T           t

                    T       TT         Tt

                    t        tT          tt

F1) 1/4 = 25% TT, tall

    2/4 = 1/2 = 50% Tt, medium

    1/4 = 25% tt, short

100% of the progeny ------------ 100 individuals

25% Tall, TT ------------------------X = 25 individuals

50% Medium, Tt -------------------X = 50 individuals

25% Short, tt ------------------------X = 25 individuals
