In a snail, an autosomal allele causing a banded shell (b) is recessive to the allele for unbanded shell (B). Genes at a differe

nt locus on the same chromosome determine the background color of the shell; here, yellow (y) is recessive to brown (Y). The genes for shell banding and background color have a recombination frequency of 0.25. A banded, yellow snail is crossed with a homozygous brown, unbanded snail. The F1 are then crossed with banded, yellow snails (a testcross). What proportion of progeny will be banded and brown

Answer:

1/4

Explanation:

We are crossing a banded yellow snail with a brown unbanded snail.

bbyy x BBYY

Next we cross the F1, BbYy, with a banded yellow snail.

BbYy x bbyy

The question asks us what proportion will be banded brown, which is bbYY or bbYy. Separate this into two Punnett squares, one per trait.

<u>Banded vs unbanded:</u>

The chance of getting bb from our testcross is <u>1/2.</u>

        Bb x bb

          b     b

    B  Bb    Bb

    b  bb    bb

<u>Yellow vs brown:</u>

The chance of getting Yy or YY from our testcross is also <u>1/2.</u>

        Yy x yy

           y    y

    Y  Yy    Yy

    y   yy    yy

So the combined probability is 1/2 * 1/2 = 1/4.

Identify the polysaccharide formed from the enzyme insulin as a means to remove glucose from the blood.
choli [55]

Answer:

(C) glycogen

Explanation:

The polysaccharide formed from the enzyme insulin as a means to remove glucose from the blood is glycogen.

When glucose level in blood rises insulin is released from Pancreas that promotes the uptake of glucose into liver cells converting glucose into long chain polysaccharide that are stored in the liver. Glucose makes 6-10% of the liver.

What is the relationship between structure and function of biological molecules?
Llana [10]

Biological molecules or biomolecules are the carbohydrates, proteins, lipids and nucleic acids that are produced by the living organism. A very significant relationship lies between their structure and function as they are inter relatable.

Biomolecules are designed in such a way that on forming a particular structure only their specific functions can be formed. It is to ensure that no molecules other than the desired ones bring a change. If the latter situation arises, it may refer to harm or lethality.

For instance, insulin binds to its receptor and decreases the blood glucose level. Change in its structure will lead in inability to bind to the receptor specifically designed to accomodate it. And if function is not dependent on structure, then any molecule may bind to the receptor and decrease the blood sugar level to the point that body may not be able to function.
