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.

How would a loss of chlorophyll most likely affect cellular respiration in plant
CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is A less glucose will be available for energy production.

Explanation:

Chloroplast is an important cell organelle present in the green parts of a plant.Chloroplast is the site  of photosynthesis which ultimately deals with generation of glucose molecule for both transport and storage.

         If chloroplast is lost then less glucose will be available for cellular respiration.

A prospective groom, who is healthy, has a sister with cystic fibrosis (CF), an autosomal recessive disease. Their parents are n
son4ous [18]

Answer:

Explanation:

From the given information:

Since the parent are normal; Let assume that their trait is Pp

The affected sister  will be recessive in nature, so the trait will be pp

Now, the husband who is the groom will be a carrier with a probability of 2/3 since her sister is affected.

Also, the wife will be carrying a heterozygous trait since she is normal as well.

However, using Hardy-Weinberg assumption:

q^2 = \dfrac{1}{2500}= 0.0004

q = \sqrt{0.0004}

q = 0.02

Recall that:

p+q =1 \\ p = 1 - q \\p = 1 - 0.02 \\p = 0.98\\

Thus, p^2 = (0.98)^2

p^2 = 0.9604

2pq = 2 \times 0.98 \times 0.022

2pq = 0.0392

Finally, the required probability that there will be an affected offspring amongst the family is:

= \dfrac{1}{4} \times \dfrac{2}{3} \times 0.0392

= \dfrac{1}{153}

Which method best helps to prevent wind erosion?
Goryan [66]

Answer:

This question is incomplete as it lacks options, the options are:

A. rotating crops

B. decreasing riverbank slopes

C. growing more vegetation

D. avoiding soil compaction

The answer is C. growing more vegetation

Explanation:

Wind erosion is a type of erosion caused by excessive wind. Wind erosion causes the blowing away of the top soil, which contains nutrients from one location to another. There are, however, various ways to prevent wind erosion from occuring which includes: planting of vegetation to serve as windbreak.

The growing of MORE VEGETATION COVER in form of trees can be used to control wind erosion because the trees will serve as windbreak and prevent the flooding effect of wind on the soil.
