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.

Some proteins do indeed need assistance during the folding process. the general term used for the proteins that help other proteins fold is Chaperones.

<h3>What are Chaperones?</h3>
  • Chaperones are proteins that help big proteins or macromolecular protein complexes fold or unfold conformationally. There are different groups of molecular chaperones, all of which have the same purpose: to help big proteins fold properly during or after synthesis as well as following partial denaturation.
  • Protein translocation for proteolysis involves chaperones as well. The bulk of molecular chaperones aid in protein folding by binding to and stabilizing folding intermediates up until the polypeptide chain is entirely translated, rather than providing any steric information for protein folding.
  • Based on their target proteins and location, chaperones have different unique modes of operation.

NISA [10]

The condition which is most likely to cause death of a botulism patient is Respiratory failure.

Explanation:

The causal organism of Botulism is the bacteria <em>Clostridium botulinum.</em>

It is usually found in canned food and causes a very severe food poisoning.

The bacteria release botulinum toxin on reaching the intestine of the person and from their the toxins are absorbed into the blood.

Botulism mainly effects the neuromuscular system of the body. .

The basic symptoms of botulism is characterised by weaknes in limbs , jaws and eyes.

A decreased muscular activity sometimes causes constipation due to slowed down peristalsis.

Sometimes nausea , vomiting and diarrhea may occur.

If left untreated and in severe cases, the toxins may proceed to effect the respiratory muscle thus hindering the proper breathing and gaseous exchange.

A further damage could result in the respiratory failure.
