One fish of this type has alleles 1 and 3 (S1S3) and its mate has alleles 2 and 4 (S2S4). If each allele confers a unit of color

darkness such that S1 has one unit, S2 has two units, and so on, then what proportion of their offspring would be expected to have five units of color?

Answer:

The options to the question are:

A) 1/4

B) 1/5

C) 1/8

D) 1/2

E) 0

The answer is D (1/2)

Explanation:

If each fish can possess only two allele types, a cross between a fish with allele types S1S3 and S2S4 will produce four possible offsprings using a punnet square.

S1S3 will produce S1 and S3 gametes while S2S4 will produce S2 and S4 gametes.

Each allele type confers a particular number of unit color to the fish i.e. S1 confers one unit color, S2 confers two, S3 confers 3, S4 confers 4 and so on........

A cross between S1S3 and S2S4 will yield offsprings S1S2, S1S4, S2S3 and S3S4. Combining these allele types, we will realize that only S1S4 and S2S3 will produce fishes with 5 units respectively. Hence, the probability of producing offsprings with five units of color is 2/4 or 1/2.

The model shows a cellular process that occurs in every cell in eukaryotic organisms.
Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

The correct answer is - create polypeptide and eventually proteins for gene expression.

Explanation:

This model is representing the translation process in protein synthesis which takes place in the cytoplasm of the cell and results in forming proteins from the information carried by mRNA from DNA in a code. The translation is the process that translates the code, carried out by mRNA with help of ribosome and tRNA, into a chain of amino acids called polypeptide chain that forms eventually in protein.

1. mRNA strand and ribosome present of ER translate codes into a protein.

2. Amino acids are transferred by the tRNA molecules to the ribosomes.

3. mRNA and tRNA bases are paired and amino acids are left behind to create polypeptide.

Use this branching diagram to answer the questions. IF U DONT KNOW THE ANSWER THEN DONT PUT AN ANSWER.
Airida [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

The common characters shared by frogs and pigeons are:

presence of jaws

four limbs  

The frogs and pigeons share these characteristics because they both are derived or evolved from a common ancestor.

During the course of evolution, the jaws are evolved in beaks in birds or pigeon as beak is light-weight in comparison to jaws.

Similarly, the forelimbs get covered with feathers to become wings.
