In cats, the Dense pigment gene, D/d, codes for melanophilin, a protein involved in the transportation and deposition of pigment

into a growing hair. A separate gene, M/m, is responsible for the production of the pigment, with M_ producing black pigment and mm producing brown. When a cat has two recessive d alleles, its fur is a light gray color regardless of which alleles of M/m are present.
Required:

a. M_D_
b. M__dd
c. mmD
d. mmdd

Answer:

a. M_D_ : 9/16 Black furred individuals

b. M__dd : 3/16 gray furred individuals (1/16 MMdd + 2/16 Mmdd)

c. mmD_ : 3/16 Brow-furred individuals (1/16 mmDD + 2/16 mmDd)

d. mmdd: 1/16 gray furred individuals.

Explanation:

Available data:

  • Dense pigment gene, D, codes for melanophilin.
  • D allele dominant over d.
  • Gene M/m is responsible for the production of the pigment
  • M is dominant over m
  • If D is present, M/m is expressed
  • If dd is present, M/m is not expressed  
  • DDMM, DdMM, DDMm, DdMm --->Black fur
  • DDmm, Ddmm ---> Brown fur
  • ddMM, ddMm -----> Light gray fur

Cross: between two dihybrids

Parental)         DdMm     x     DdMm

Phenotype) Black-furred      Black-furred

Gametes) DM, Dm, dM, dm   DM, Dm, dM, dm

Punnet Square)    DM        Dm         dM          dm

             dM        DdMM    DdMm    ddMM   ddMm

             dm        DdMm    Ddmm    ddMm   ddmm

F1) 9/16 Black-furred individuals, D-M- (1/16 DDMM + 2/16 DDMm + 2/16    

                                                                 DdMM + 4/16 DdMm)

    3/16 Brown-furred individuals, D-mm ( 1/16 DDmm + 2/16 Ddmm)

    4/16 Gray-furred individuals, dd-- ( 1/16ddMM + 1/16 ddmm + 2/16 ddMm)

What would be the advantage(s) to having no chloroplasts in the cells of the spongy mesophyll?
Gwar [14]
Well, first off the spongy mesophyll does have some chloroplasts, however they are located quite far from the surface of the leaf where most of the chloroplasts are. Therefore they don't get much light and don't contribute a lot to photosynthesis in the leaf. So why should the leaf waste the energy in making chloroplasts if there is not enough light to make them all efficient enough at photosynthesis?

How many calories are provided by a food that contains 29 grams of carbohydrate, 6 grams of protein, and 1 gram of fat?
Andrej [43]
Energy (caloric) value of foods is indicated by calories, which measure the amount of heat that the food releases in the metabolic process. In physiology, it is determined by the energy balance of the organism, ie the heat exchange between the organism and the external environment.
Calories of nutrients:
1 g of protein = 4 kcal (kilocalories)
1 g of fat = 9 kcal
1 g of carbohydrates = 4 kcal
1 g of alcohol = 7 kcal
1 g of organic acid = 3 kcal

According to the table above, we can calculate required value:

29x4 + 6x4  + 1x9= 149 kcal/g
