Since each trait is carried on a different chromosome, the two traits are independent of each other. Since both parents are heterozygous for the trait, each parent can contribute 1 of a possible 4 combinations of the alleles. So there are 16 possible offspring. I'll use "a", "A", "b", "B" to represent each allele and the possible children are aabb, aabB, aaBb, aaBB, aAbb, aAbB, aABb, aABB, Aabb, AabB, AaBb, AaBB, AAbb, AAbB, AABb, and AABB
Of the above 16 possibilities, there are 7 that are homozygous in an undesired traint and 9 that don't exhibit the undesired trait. So let's first calculate the probability of "what are the chances that all 5 children not exhibiting an undesired trait?" and then subtract that result from 1. So
1-(9/16)^5 = 1 - 59049/1048576 = 989527/1048576 which is approximately 0.943686485 = 94.3686485%
So the answer is exactly 989527/1048576, or approximately 94.37%
Answer:
In a cross between two black-haired guinea pigs, 20 offspring are born. If both parents were heterozygous, probability would predict that approximately 1 out of 20 offspring would have brown hair
Explanation:
The two parents crossed were heterozygous dominant black coat color, after crossing 75% gives dominant black color coat while 25% gives only brown coat color homozygous
Answer:
Glucose serves as a major source of energy for metabolic processes in mammalian cells. Since polar molecules cannot be transported across the plasma membrane, carrier proteins called glucosse transporters are needed for cellular uptake.
Explanation:
The Hershey and Chase experiments showed that the inherited genetic material was DNA (deoxyribonucleic acids). In this experiment, the scientists labelled the DNA molecule with a radioactive isotope of phosphorus.
Centrifugation causes the separation of different components according to their size. So, by blending, they centrifugated the mixture of virus and the bacteria, which separated the viral protein capsule and the bacteria. Later, they found that the virus infected bacteria contains the DNA of bacteria, not the protein.
Hence, bacterial cultures infected with a virus were agitated in a kitchen blender to separate the protein coat of virus from the bacteria.
