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.

Answer:

The yellow form can exist in both the "live yellow" and "heat-killed purple" forms.

Explanation:

To carry out these transformation tests; for example change of purple structure form into the yellow structure; DNA, RNA, and proteins will be confined from the yellow structure and infused to heat-killed purple structure each in turn in singular examinations. At the point when DNA will be changed into heat-killed purple structure form, it is changed over and converted to the yellow structure form. In this way, the yellow structure form can be acquired from live yellow just as heat-killed purple structure (changed with DNA or changing guideline from the yellow structure).

ikadub [295]

lara [203]

Answer:

d. transcriptional regulation (regulation of whether transcription occurs)

Explanation:

If the product of a gene is not needed, then allowing the transcription of such gene to proceed only to be regulated after or even after translation will result in a mere wastage of resources. It thus means that the resources utilized for transcription has been wasted.

<em>Hence, the correct option is d.</em>
