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:
State the phenotype and frequency for each of the following outcomes of a dihybrid cross:

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

             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)

List and describe the four types of micro-organisms that cause disease
kherson [118]
Virus: an infective agent that typically consists of a nucleic acid molecule in a protein coat, is too small to be seen by light microscopy, and is able to multiply only within the living cells of a host.
Bacteria: a member of a large group of unicellular microorganisms which have cell walls but lack organelles and an organized nucleus, including some which can cause disease.
Fungi/fungus: any of a group of spore-producing organisms feeding on organic matter, including molds, yeast, mushrooms, and toadstools.
Protozoa: a phylum or group of phyla that comprises the single-celled microscopic animals, which include amoebas, flagellates, ciliates, sporozoans, and many other forms. They are now usually treated as a number of phyla belonging to the kingdom Protista.

Which indicates how evidence of climate change supports the theory of continental drift?
beks73 [17]

Glacial evidence discovered in South America demonstrates how climate change evidence has bolstered the notion of continental drift. Folded mountains in Africa and South America. Thus, the correct option is D.

Climate change is happening all across the planet on a daily basis. This is primarily due to human activities that have had an impact on the atmosphere and the earth.

<h3>What is continental drift?</h3>

Continental drift is basically the hypothesis that the continents once constituted a single landmass, disintegrated, and drifted to their current places.

The discovery of glacial evidence in South America has led to a greater acceptance of the continental drift idea.

Finally, we can conclude that glacial evidence discovered in South America demonstrates how climatic change evidence supports the hypothesis of continental drift.
