Why do multiple and lethal alleles often result in modifications of the classic Mendelian monohybrid and dihybrid ratios?
allochka39001 [22]

Answer:

Multiple alleles can modify the classical Mendelian ratio by increasing the number of phenotypes.  

For example, in a monohybrid cross, Mendel gets only 2 phenotypes however, in ABO blood groups (a classical example of multiple alleles) there are four phenotypes present in a population.

Lethal alleles are the alleles which when expressed result in the death of an organism. These alleles can be dominant, recessive or conditional (depends on interaction with another gene).  

Thus, lethal allele reduces the ratio of the phenotype associated with it by affecting the survival of the organism.

For example, lethal yellow allele in mice results changes the phenotype ratio from 3:1 to 2:1

Botulinum toxin is produced by Clostridium botulinum, a gram-negative bacterium. The toxin actually consists of 7 related toxins
Bess [88]

Answer:

A. Botulinum toxin possesses a heavy chain and a light chain, each of which takes part in the toxicity. The binding of the protein and its invasion within a nerve cell is permitted by the heavy chain. After the entry is permitted, the light chain functions like a protease and chops proteins, which would usually permit neurotransmitters to discharge out from the cell. This is basically a commotion of exocytosis or the discharging of neurotransmitters.  

The acetylcholine, that is, the obstructed neurotransmitter generally conducts a nerve impulse to a muscle, allowing the muscle to contract. By inhibiting the neurotransmitter, the botulinum toxin results in its distinctive flaccid paralysis.  

B. The small doses of the sterile, purified botulinum toxin when used in a medical setting as an injectable form prevent the release of a chemical known as acetylcholine by the nerve cells, which signal contraction of the muscles. By selectively interfering with the underlying tendency of the muscles to contract, the prevailing frown lines are smoothed out, and in the majority of the cases are almost invisible for a week.
