In hogs, a dominant allele B results in a white belt around the body. At a separate locus, the dominant allele S causes fusion o

f the two parts of the normally cloven hoof resulting in a condition known as syndactyly. A belted syndactylous sow was crossed to an unbelted cloven-hoofed boar, and in the litter there were: 25% belted syndactylous 25% unbelted syndactylous 25% belted cloven 25% unbelted cloven The genotypes of the parents can best be represented as which of the followingA) B/b;8/s (x) B/B;s/s B) B/b;S/s (x) b/b;S/S C) b/b;S/s (x) B/b;s/s D) B/b;S/s (x) b/b;s/s E) B/B;S/S (x) b/b;s/s

Answer:

D) B/b;S/s (x) b/b;s/s

Explanation:

Parent 1 : belted syndactylous sow

Since it is showing dominant phenotype for both the traits, it can either be BBSS or BbSs

Parent 2: unbelted cloven-hoofed

Since it is showing recessive phenotype for both the traits, it can only have bbss genotype

If we assume parent 1 to be BBSS all the resulting progeny with bbss will have dominant phenotype which is not the case.

If we assume parent 1 to be BbSs:

BbSs X bbss =

BbSs : belted syndactylous

bbSs : unbelted syndactylous

Bbss : belted cloven

bbss : unbelted cloven

The progeny will be produced in 1:1:1:1 ratio which means that each of them will make 25% of the population.

Hence, parent 1 will have BbSs genotype and parent 2 will have bbss genotype

Describe the ways mutations can affect DNA and chromosomes.​
lozanna [386]
Mutations present permanent and heritable changes in the genome. We distinguish gene and chromosome mutations. Mutations in the level of genes are called point mutations because only one to several nucleotides are changed. These processes are known as deletion, insertion, and substitution. Deletion presents a loss of nucleotides which changes DNA sequence. When new nucleotides are embedded in the DNA chain, it is known as insertion. Substitution implies the process where new nucleotides are inserted while the ones that were present in that specific spot in a DNA molecule are deleted.
Mutations can also appear in chromosomes altering their number and structure. There are four types of mutations - deletion, duplication, inversion, and translocation. In deletion, a whole or one part of a chromosome is lost. Duplication presents an extra copy of a whole or one part of a chromosome. In an inversion, parts of a chromosome change order, while in translocation a part of one chromosome detaches and then connects to another.

Irina-Kira [14]
The example of a biotic factor is the shrimp population in a bay. Biotic factors are living factors that affect organisms in an ecosystem. The biotic factors includes the producers or autotrophs, consumers or heterotrophs, and decomposer. Abiotic factors on the other hand are the non-living factors that influence an ecosystem; they include, sunlight, soil, humidity, etc

Ghella [55]

One reasonable plan would be to wear a face mask or surgical mask. Take note that your surgical mask contains two sides – the white side and the blue side. Since the main purpose of your mask usage is to prevent yourself from inhaling too much bad air, the blue side of the mask should be the one touching your skin. This is because the white side of your mask helps you prevent from coming in contact with toxins that may come from the smog.
