Answer:

C

Explanation:

This is a monohybrid cross between involving a gene coding for earlobe. The allele for free earlobe (F) is dominant over that of attached earlobe (f).

N.B: let F represent the gene involved.

A genotypic ratio is the ratio derived from the offsprings based on the actual genetic make-up and not based on their phenotypic appearance as in phenotypic ratio.

A homozygous individual is an individual having the same kind of alleles for a gene while a heterozygous individual is one that has two different alleles i.e. combination of the dominant and recessive allele.

The monohybrid cross is between an individual with attached earlobe (ff) i.e. homozygous recessive individual. (Note that, a recessive trait will only be expressed in a homozygous state) and a heterozygous free earlobeb individual (Ff). (See attached picture). Ff × ff

The resulting four offsprings will

be expected to have only two distinct genotypes i.e heterozygous (Ff) and homozygous recessive (ff) in an equal ratio i.e. 2:2 ~ 1:1

What kind of sequence or structure would you classify this as
jeka57 [31]

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-A.

Explanation:

Inverted repeats are the sequence of the nucleotide in a nucleic acid which is identical but arranged in the opposite orientation. The inverted repeat may be separated by some sequence or they may lie adjacent to each other. They can be read the same from the backwards or forward direction.

In the given question since four bases when read from the forward direction is same as reading the sequence from the backward direction like CGAC can be read the same both backward and forward.

Thus, option-A is the correct answer.
