In chickens, comb shape is determined by genes at two loci (R, r and P, p). A walnut comb is produced when at least one dominant

gene R is present at one locus and at least one dominant gene P is present at a second locus (genotype R_P_). A rose comb is produced when at least one dominant gene is present at the first locus and two recessive genes are present at the second locus (genotype R_pp). A pea comb is produced when two recessive genes are present at the first locus and at least one dominant gene is present at the second (genotype rrP_). If two recessive genes are present at the first and the second locus (rrpp), a single comb is produced. Give genotypes for comb shape of the parents in the crosses listed below. a. Walnut crossed with single produces 1 walnut, 1 rose, 1 pea, and 1 single offspring. b. Rose crossed with pea produces 20 walnut offspring. c. Pea crossed with single produces 1 single offspring. d. Rose crossed with pea produces 2 walnut, 1 single, and 1 pea offspring. e. Rose crossed with single produces 31 rose offspring. f. Rose crossed with single produces 10 rose and 11 single offspring.

Answer and Explanation:

<em><u>Available data</u></em>:

  • Comb shape is determined by genes at two loci (R, r and P, p).
  • The walnut comb genotype is R_P_.
  • The rose comb genotype is R_pp.
  • The pea comb genotype is rrP_.
  • The single genotype is rrpp.

a. <em>Walnut crossed with single produces 1 walnut, 1 rose, 1 pea, and 1 single offspring: </em>

Parental)             RrPp       x          rrpp

Gametes)   RP   Rp   rP   rp     rp   rp   rp   rp

                     rp    RrPp    Rrpp   rrPp   rrpp

                     rp    RrPp    Rrpp   rrPp   rrpp

F1 phenotype: 25% walnut, 25% rose, 25% pea, and 25% single.

F1 genotype: 4/16 RrPp, 1/16 Rrpp, 4/16 rrPp, 4/16 rrpp.

b. <em>Rose crossed with pea produces 20 walnut offspring</em>.

Parental)              RRpp       x          rrPP

Gametes)   Rp   Rp   Rp   Rp     rP   rP   rP   rP

Punnet Square)      Rp       Rp     Rp        Rp

                    rP    RrPp    RrPp   RrPp   RrPp

                     rP    RrPp    RrPp   RrPp   RrPp

F1 phenotype: 100% walnut.

F1 genotype: 16/16 RrPp.

c. <em>Pea crossed with single produces 1 single offspring</em>.

This is not possible, because the pea genotype involves <u>at least</u> one dominant allele P. There are two possible crosses: <em>rrPp x rrpp</em>, which must produce half of the progeny pea and the other half single, or <em>rrPP x rrpp</em> which produce a whole pea progeny with no single offspring.  

Parental)              rrPp       x          rrpp

Gametes)   rP   rp   rP   rp     rp   rp   rp   rp

                     rp    rrPp    rrpp   rrPp   rrpp

                     rp    rrPp    rrpp   rrPp   rrpp

F1 phenotype: 50% pea, and 50% single.

F1 genotype: 8/16 rrPp, 8/16 rrpp.

d. <em>Rose crossed with pea produces 2 walnut, 1 single, and 1 pea offspring</em>.

This is not possible, because having one of the parents with a rose phenotype  involves <u>at least one R allele</u>, which means that <u>there must be rose phenotype</u> in the progeny.

Parental)             Rrpp       x          rrPp

Gametes)   Rp   Rp   rp   rp     rP   rP   rp   rp

F1 phenotype: 25% walnut, 25% rose, 25% pea, and 25% single.

F1 genotype: 4/16 RrPp, 1/16 Rrpp, 4/16 rrPp, 4/16 rrpp.

e. <em>Rose crossed with single produces 31 rose offspring</em>.

Parental)              RRpp       x          rrpp

                     rp    Rrpp    Rrpp   Rrpp   Rrpp

F1 phenotype: 100% rose (31 individuals equal 100% of the progeny).

F1 genotype: 16/16 Rrpp.

f. <em>Rose crossed with single produces 10 rose and 11 single offspring.</em>

Parental)              Rrpp       x          rrpp

Gametes)   Rp   Rp   rp   rp     rP   rP   rp   rp

grin007 [14]

Explanation:

In biology, the term spore designates a single-celled or multicellular microscopic body that is formed for dispersion and survival purposes for a long time (dormancy) under adverse conditions, and which is generally a haploid cell. In many eukaryotic beings, it is a fundamental part of their reproduction, originating a new organism by dividing by mitosis (especially in fungi) or meiosis (plants), without having to merge with another cell, while in some bacteria it is instead a inactive stage, resistant to desiccation and for non-reproductive survival purposes. The term derives om the Greek σπορά (sporá), "seed".

The spore is an important element in the biological life cycles of plants, fungi, algae and some protozoa, which usually produce spores in structures called sporangia. In plants, spores are gametophytes within their life cycle and allow the dispersion of the propagules at the same time. Most fungi produce spores; those that do not are called asporogenic fungi.

In DNA, what base pairs with thymine?
Brrunno [24]
DNA double helix is made of 2 complementary DNA strands . These strands are held together by hydrogen bonding between the complementary bases on each strand.
Nucleotides are the building units of nucleic acids. Bases are components of the nucleotides.
Bases on one DNA strands pairs with bases on the complementary DNA strand through hydrogen bonds.
bases can pair with the complementary base.
Complementary base of thymine is adenine .
Therefore thymine pairs with adenine.
