In swine, when a pure-breeding red is crossed to a pure-breeding white, the F1 are all red. However, the F2 shows 9/16 red, 1/16

white, and 6/16 as a new color, sandy. A particular red individual (Parent 1) is crossed to a particular sandy individual (Parent 2), and the progeny is comprised of four sandy, three red, and one white piglets. What are the most likely genotypes of the two parents?

Answer:

Parent 1 : AaBb

Parent 2: aaBb or Aabb

Explanation:

In this cross two genes are involved and they are duplicate genes with cumulative effect i.e. individually they show the same phenotype but when together, they produce a new phenotype. Here,

A_B_ = red

aaB_ = sandy

A_bb = sandy

aabb = white

The progeny in question has a white piglet (aabb) so it must have got a set of "ab" gametes from both parents. Since parent 1 has red phenotype it should also have one A and B allele. Hence its genotype is AaBb.

Parent 2 should also contribute an "ab" pair to white piglet and it has sandy colour which is produced by either an A allele or a B allele so its genotype should be Aabb or aaBb.

Which type of mutation affects the largest number of genes
SashulF [63]

Answer:

Chromosomal Mutation

Explanation:

The development and function of an organism is in large part controlled by genes. Mutations can lead to changes in the structure of an encoded protein or to a decrease or complete loss in its expression. Because a change in the DNA sequence affects all copies of the encoded protein, mutations can be particularly damaging to a cell or organism. In contrast, any alterations in the sequences of RNA or protein molecules that occur during their synthesis are less serious because many copies of each RNA and protein are synthesized.

Geneticists often distinguish between the genotype and phenotype of an organism. Strictly speaking, the entire set of genes carried by an individual is its genotype, whereas the function and physical appearance of an individual is referred to as its phenotype. However, the two terms commonly are used in a more restricted sense: genotype usually denotes whether an individual carries mutations in a single gene (or a small number of genes), and phenotype denotes the physical and functional consequences of that genotype.

Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

Option A,  Ohio River and the Missouri River

Explanation:

The historical evidences clearly indicate that Ohio River did not exist before the last ice advances. Before Ohio and Missouri river, the major glacier drainage of the east-west direction happens in Teays River. When ice of the glaciers blocked the Teaya river valley, then the Ohio was formed.

Like Ohio, Missouri river did also not exist before Pleistocene and during that time the largest drainage in North America take place in the Hudson's Bay

Hence, option A is correct
