If an individual homozygous dominant for widow's peak has a child with an individual heterozygous for widow's peak, what is the

chance that the child will have a widow's peak?

Answer:

100%

Explanation:

Let PP represent homozygous dominant trait for widow's peak &

Let Pp represent  an individual heterozygous for widow's peak.

If both traits cross together;  the chance that the child will have a widow's peak = ???

i.e PP × Pp

   |     P     |     P

P  |    PP   |     PP        

p  |    Pp   |     Pp

The progeny are: ( PP, PP, Pp, Pp)    

When a trait is dominant, only one allele is required for the trait to be observed. A dominant allele will mask a recessive allele, if present.

From our question, one  parent is homozygous dominant (PP) and the other is  heterozygous (Pp):  therefore  all their offspring will be  two homozygous dominant (PP) and two heterozygous  (Pp) and they will all possess a widow’s peak.

Therefore, the chance that a child will have a widow's peak = 100%

Answer:

Explanation:

Protein molecules binding to DNA initiate sequences of biochemical transitions that control and regulate all major process in the living cells

These protein molecules strongly bond to special sequences of DNA known as specific binding sites

Theoretically , there are two main components of binding forces

- One of them is purely electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged DNA and protein molecules that are mostly sequence independent

- Other one comes from particular DNA sequence that strengthens the attraction of protein molecules

The origin of this increased affinity is due to combination of van der waals , hydrogen , covalent and steric interactions as well as electrostatic charge patterns recognition

Some studies has suggested that there is an additional statistical interaction potential between protein and DNA molecules. Source of this interaction is due to the specific structure and symmetry of DNA sequences to which protein molecule binds

DNA sequences with repeated homogeneous segments (A:T or G:C) have stronger affinity for association to DNA binding proteins as compared to heterogeneous sequences

3 types of interactions takes place on encounter of protein and DNA molecule which are van der waals forces , hydrogen bonds between complimentary organic bases (base pairs) and hydrophobic interactions between the nitrogenous bases and the surrounding sheath of water

Of all these forces van der waals forces are strongest and hydrophobic interaction between the nitrogenous bases and surrounding sheath of water is the weakest .
