ANEK [815]

Answer:

Yeast, any of about 1,500 species of single-celled fungi, most of which are in the phylum Ascomycota, only a few being Basidiomycota. Yeasts are found worldwide in soils and on plant surfaces and are especially abundant in sugary mediums such as flower nectar and fruits. There are hundreds of economically important varieties of ascomycete yeasts; the types commonly used in the production of bread, beer, and wine are selected strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Some yeasts are mild to dangerous pathogens of humans and other animals, especially Candida albicans, Histoplasma, and Blastomyces. As fungi, yeasts are eukaryotic organisms.

Suppose two BbCc mice are crossed together. Assuming that the two genes assort independently, what are the expected phenotypes,

Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

4 types of phenotypes with phenotypic ratio 9:3:3:1 will be obtained.

Explanation:

The Punnett square diagram for the cross between mice with genotype BbCc & BbCc is attached.

It is clear from the diagram attached that the phenotypic ratio will be 9:3:3:1

The following 9 genotypes will show dominant trait for both the characters i.e. characters represented by B & C genes.

BBCC, BBCc, BbCC, BbCc, BBCc, BbCc, BbCC, BbCc, BbCc

The following 3 genotypes will show dominant trait for one character represented by gene B and recessive trait for other character represented by gene C.

BBcc, Bbcc, Bbcc

The following 3 genotypes will show recessive trait for one character represented by gene B and dominant trait for other character represented by gene C.

bbCC, bbCc, bbCc

The following genotype is the only genotype which will show recessive trait for both the characters represented by gene B & C.

bbcc
