Explain incomplete dominance, using snapdragon<br> flowers as an example.

oee [108]

Answer:

Dominant allele does not completely conceal recessive allele.

Snapdragon with genotype Rr (R being red and r being white), would have a phenotype of pink flowers.

Explanation:

Incomplete dominance is where a dominant allele is not able to completely conceal a recessive allele, usually leading to a phenotype which appears to be a combination of the two.

For example, in snapdragons:

The allele for red flowers (R) is dominant over the allele for white flowers (r). Let's say a snapdragon flower had the genotype Rr, one allele for red flowers and one for white. In the case of 'normal' dominance the dominant red flower allele (R) would mask the effects of the recessive white flower allele (r), resulting in the phenotype (outward observable characteristics) of having red flowers.

However here in the case of incomplete dominance, the dominant allele would not be able to fully cover up the effects of the white flower allele, meaning that both colors (red and white) are expressed in the phenotype, resulting in pink flowers.

Hope this helped!

the impulses received through various combinations of electrodes costitute different _______, or veiws of the electrical activit

maks197457 [2]

Answer:

The correct answer is - leads.

Explanation:

In ECG or electrocardiogram, a test that is used to measure the electric activity of the heart of an individual, each electric impulse cause a electric wave to travel through the heart and cause the heart pump to pump blood.

There are electrodes that received the electric impulse in this machines, electrodes have self adhesive pads and attached with various leads mostly 12, that carries the impulses in the combinations that are recorded on the ECG.

Thus, the correct answer is - leads.

The curly toe phenotype is controlled by 4 genes that act in an additive manner. The environment does not have an effect on this

Sergio [31]

Answer:

What is the highest number of risk units an individual can have with this model? 48 units of risk
What is the phenotype of an individual of genotype AaBbCCDd? The individual has curly toes
Is it possible for them to have a child with curly toes?

Yes, the couple can have children with curly toes.

Explanation:

<u>Available data</u>:

The curly toe phenotype is controlled by 4 diallelic additive genes
Genes A, B, C, D
A dominant allele has 6 units of risk
A recessive allele has 2 units of risk
Individuals with more than 35 units of risk have curly toes
Individuals with 35 or fewer risk units have straight toes

The term quantitative heritability refers to the transmission of a phenotypic trait in which expression depends on the additive effect of a series of genes.

Polygenic heritability occurs when a trait results from the interaction of more than one gene. And these genes can also have more than two alleles. The action of many genes and alleles can cause many different combinations that are the reason for genotypic graduation.

Quantitative traits are those that can be measure, such as longitude, weight, eggs laid per female, among others. These characters do not group individuals by any precise and clear categories. Instead, they group individuals in many different categories that depend on how the genes were intercrossed and distributed during meiosis. The result depends on the magnitude in which each allele contributes to the final phenotype and genotype. When they interact, they create a gradation in phenotypes, according to the level of contribution.

According to this information, and knowing how each allele contributes to the risk, we can say that the minimum units of risk are 16, determined by the recessive genotype aabbccdd. Each recessive allele contributes with 2 units of risk, so (aa=4units + bb=4 units + cc=4 units + dd=4 units) = 16 units.

Each time a dominant allele is present in the genotype, it adds 6 units to the total risk.

What is the highest number of risk units an individual can have with this model?

48 units of risk, which corresponds to the genotype AABBCCDD. Each dominant allele contributes 6 units to the risk. There are 8 dominant alleles, so, 8x6=48 units.

What is the phenotype of an individual of genotype AaBbCCDd?

The individual has curly toes because it has a risk of 36 units, which is superior to the limit of 35 units. Dominant alleles A, B, C, C, D contribute with 30 units of risk (6x5), and recessive alleles a, b, d contribute 6 units of risk (3x2).

F1) 16 /32 = 1/2 individuals in the progeny are expected to have curly toes

16 /32 = 1/2 individuals are expected to have straight toes

Is it possible for them to have a child with curly toes?

Yes, the couple can have children with curly toes.

To have curly toes, individuals must have more than 35 units of risk.

To have more than 35 units, individuals´ genotypes must carry at least 5 dominant alleles (which equal 30 units).
