In Drosophila, the genes for body coloration and eye size are on different chromosomes. Normal-colored bodies are dominant to eb

ony-colored (very dark) bodies, and normal-sized eyes are dominant to being eyeless. Line A is true breeding for normal body and normal eye, whereas line B is true breeding for ebony bodies and eyeless. Individuals from lines A and B are crossed. From a dihybrid cross between the F1 generation, 400 flies are scored. How many of these F2 flies are expected to have both normal body color and normal eyes?

Let’s say that the gene for body coloration is M and the gene for the eye size is N.Than:

Normal-colored bodies are with genotype: Mm (heterozygous) or MM (dominant homozygous)

And ebony-colored bodies are genotype: mm (recessive homozygous)

normal-sized eyes are: NN or Nn

eyeless are: nn

Line A: MMNN

Line B:mmnn

If we cross A and B:

F1 phenotypes: 9:3:3:1

400/(9+3+3+1)=25

9*25=225 normal body and normal eye

3*25=75 normal body, eyeless

3*25=75 ebony-colored bodies normal eye

1*25=25 ebony-colored bodies, eyeless

Answer:

225 flies

Explanation:

<em>Since the two genes are on different chromosomes, they will assort independently and produce phenotypes in 9:3:3:1 ratio according to Mendel.</em>

Let body color allele be A and eye size allele be B.

True breeding normal colored body and normal-sized eyes = AABB

True breeding ebony body and eyeless = aabb

If the two are crossed and two of the F1 offspring are mated, the phenotypic ration will be:

Normal body color and eye size = 9/16

Normal body color and eyeless = 3/16

Ebony body and normal eye size = 3/16

Ebony body and eyeless = 1/16

If there are 400 flies in F2, then the number of flies with normal body color and normal eyes will be:

         9/16 x 400 = 225 flies

<em>225 flies will be expected to have both normal body color and normal eyes.</em>

1) How is DNA condensed to form a chromosome?
Bumek [7]

Answer:

1) DNA is wrapped around histone proteins to form chromatin

2) The genes are the functional units, the segments between them are used for regulation

3) The genetic code is the language used, gene expression is how the cell uses the information, the activity of the genes.

Explanation:

1) DNA forms a DNA/protein complex called chromatin. It does this by wrapping around histone proteins. These histone proteins are usually present in the form of a nucleosome, which is a unit containing 2 copies of 4 histones (H2A, H2B, H3 and H4). The chromatin fibre at its most compact forms tightly coiled structures called chromosomes. These structures are only present during cell division. When the cell is in interphase (i.e. not dividing), the chromatin is not as tightly condensed, and instead the chromatin is more relaxed to allow the genes within to be expressed.

2) Genes are the functional units that the cell uses to make RNA and protein. The genes are first transcribed into RNA, which is processed and then translated into a polypeptide chain, which forms a complete protein that performs activities in the cell/tissue/organism. However, the whole genome does not form genes, there are regions that do not correspond to a gene. These regions are called "non-coding DNA" or sometimes even "junk DNA". However, that does not mean that these regions do not have important roles. The role of this DNA is usually in regulating the activity of the nearby genes. This DNA might contain important regulatory sequences such as promoters/enhancers/silencers that control how the gene is used by the cell, by for example, recruiting transcription factors or silencing proteins.

3) The genetic code is the language used by the cell. It explains how the cell can transcribe the information in the DNA, to RNA, process the RNA, and then translate the RNA into a polypeptide, and eventually a mature protein. In contrast, gene expression represents how the cell actually uses this information. Not all the genes are transcribed at the same time, instead, the activity of genes is carefully controlled to produce appropriate gene expression patterns, allowing the cell to properly perform its functions. Gene expression is hugely different between cells in an organism, for example the gene expression patterns of a muscle cell will  be hugely different to that of a blood cell.
