A purple-flowered pea plant is crossed with a white-flowered pea plant. All the F1 plants produced purple flowers. When the F1 p

lants are allowed to self-pollinate, 401 of the F2s have purple flowers and 131 have white flowers. What are the genotypes of the parental and F1 generation plants?

Answer:

Parentals: PP (purple) and pp (white)

F1: Pp (purple)

Explanation:

When the two parental plants of differing phenotypes (purple or white flowers) cross, the F1 is 100% purple. This result suggests that the parentals were true breeding (homozygous), with purple flowers being the dominant allele.

When the F1 self pollinates, the F2 shows proportions very similar to 3/4 purple and 1/4 white (401/532 ≅ 3/4 and 131/532 ≅ 1/4). The 3:1 phenotypic ratio is typical of the offspring resulting from a cross between two heterozygous individuals.

The results make sense if the genotypes of the different generations are:

Parentals: PP (purple) X pp (white)

F1:                          Pp (purple)

F2:  1/4 PP, 2/4 Pp, 1/4 pp

ANSWER: CANCER DEVELOPMENT

EXPLANATION:

Tumor suppressor genes (TSGs) are genes that regulates the cell cycle of a cell (i.e the cell division and replication). In other words, TSGs encodes protein that act as control or regulator of cell growth.

However, when there is an alteration in the genetic sequence (mutation) of the TSGs, this make the cell not to respond to cues that had been regulating it growth.

Thus, when cell growth is not regulated, it results to runaway or abnormal cell growth (i.e multiple folds cell division and replication), in other word referred to as “cancer”.

Which of the following best explains why herring gull chicks were one of the first species to exhibit the effects of pollution,
prohojiy [21]
The correct answer is A.
Toxins and various pollutants increase in concentration through the food chain in a process called biomagnification. This means that the organisms on the top of the food chain, like the herring gull, have many times greater concentration of toxins than the lower food chain level organisms because they prey on lower food chain level organisms. If a herring gull ears 100 herrings, it will have a 100x times greater concentration of toxins in its body than a herring.
