Using your knowledge of Punnett squares and hybridization, what is the probability that a purebred monohybrid, dihybrid, three-f

actor cross or higher will lead to the expression of dominant phenotypes in first-generation offspring?

Answer:

100%

Explanation:

No matter how many factors are in the cross, if an 2 purebred (homozygous individuals) are crossed, (one dominant, one recessive) the dominant phenotype will always be displayed.

Imagine a cross with between two individuals true breeding for 6 traits. One shows all dominant genotypes, one shows all recessive genotypes. The only gametes those individuals can pass on will always produce heterozygotes.

AABBCCDDEEFFGG x aabbccddeeffgg

The first individual can only give ABCDEFG alleles. The second individual can only give abcdefg alleles. Therefore, all offspring will be AaBbCcDdEeFfGg, and will therefore express the dominant trait.

Answer:

1. dihybrid crosses  

2. intermediate  

3. codominance

4.In the first generation of a purebred cross with any number of genes involved, each resulting genotype will be heterozygous for the genes, and the dominant phenotype will, therefore, be expressed in each offspring.

5.In the process of meiosis, alleles separate and are added to the gametes in an independent manner. While each gamete (egg or sperm cell) therefore contains one allele for each gene, it's impossible to know which allele, because alleles segregate in a random manner. However, it's possible to calculate probabilities that the offspring will have a given allele using Punnett squares.

6.Teratogens interrupt the normal developmental process and interfere with pregnancy, resulting in birth defects, even in cases where the parents of the child have normal genetic characteristics. Therefore, teratogens represent a significant environmental factor that could lead to unhealthy and even fatal pregnancy outcomes. To have a healthy pregnancy, women must avoid alcohol, thalidomide, and other substances known to cause birth defects to enable the baby to grow and develop properly.

7.Tigers and cheetahs are other examples of wild animals whose genetic codes include the instructions for elaborate prints on their bodies.

8.Oftentimes, these exotic prints serve as camouflage so the animal can hide from predators. Sadly, such beautiful animals are also poached by hunters who use their furs for clothing and rugs, which has led to many of these wild animals becoming endangered.

Nuts are a good source of vitamin E. <br> a. True<br> b. False
mixer [17]
Nuts indeed are a good source of vitamin E. This is true. However, when talking about nuts we have to consider that not all nuts have the same nutritional information nor do all of them have plenty of vitamin E. While we can say this for most, it is necessary to be wary of making such statements.

What are the different structures and functions of roots?
seraphim [82]

Different structures and functions of roots

Explanation:

Roots are the underground descending non-green part of the plant.

Root functions: Anchorages the plant to the soil, absorbs water and nutrients from the soil.

Characteristics: Positively geotropic and hydrotropic, negatively phototropic; does not have nodes, internodes or stems.

Types:  

  • Tap root
  • Adventitious root – fibrous, foliar and true adventitious roots

Structure and functions:  

  • Root cap or Calyptra: Cap-like structure covering the root tip .
  1. Function: protects the meristematic tissues of the root, secretes mucilage which enhances the root tips to grow into the hard soil.
  • Meristematic zone or growing point  sub-terminal behind root cap. These cells are inverted and looks like a dome.
  1. Function – helps in the root growth by adding new cells to the root tip and other basal regions
  • Zone of elongation behind the meristematic zone.
  1. Function – helps in elongation of the root
  • Root hair zone: This is the zone of differentiation where cells differentiate into vascular tissues like phloem, xylem, endodermis, cortex etc.
  1. The main function of root hair is to increase the total surface area of root to facilitate more absorption of water and other nutrients from the soil
  • Zone of maturation: the major and mature portion of a root.
  1. Function  - lateral roots originates from this zone and radial differentiation leads to secondary growth.
