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.

Which would be more likely to carry out endocytosis: a white blood cell engulfing foreign materials or a cell that excretes horm
Irina-Kira [14]

A white blood cell engulfing foreign materials is more likely to carry out Endocytosis.

Explanation:

  • Endocytosis is the process by which a cell takes up a macromolecule into is cytoplasm by forming a vessicle.
  • In the question two cases are given, both the cases involve the formation of membrane bound  vessicle but in different ways.
  • The excretion of hormones involves the movement of molecule outside the cytoplasm. This process is exocytosis.
  • The engulfment of an antigen by WBC involves taking up of molecule within the cell so that it can be killed and digested. Thus in  this case  Endocytosis is more likely to occur..

stich3 [128]

Answer:

One method used by newborn mammals to generate heat is referred to as nonshivering thermogenesis. This method utilizes a protein channel called <u>thermogenin</u> which is present in high levels inside the mitochondria of <u>brown adipose tissue.</u>

Explanation:

Thermogenin forms a proton channel in the inner mitochondrial membrane in the brown adipose tissues. Most of the newborn mammals have these brown adipose tissues. In these tissues, the oxidation of nutrients do not produce ATP but generate heat. The heat is used by the newborn to maintain the warmer body temperature. The process is called nonshivering thermogenesis.
