Epistasis often results in modified dihybrid phenotypic ratios. assume that you obtain one such modified ratio, 9:7, with the ge

ne pairs a and b involved. what would be a possible genotype for a phenotype that would be included with the 9 portion of the modified ratio?

Answer:

The answer is AaBB the genotype for 9 in ratio 9:7.

Explanation:

Epistasis is the interaction that occurs in genes that are located at different loci located on the same chromosome, with the consequence that one gene can mask or suppress the expression of another gene. This means that an epistatic gene appears (gene that manifests itself) and another called hypostatic (non-allelic gene that is inhibited). This type of interaction is the product of genes not alleles.

When two genes (A and B) are involved in a pathway, both are required to make functional products for expression. When there's a presence of recessive allele of either of the two genes, it results in the expression of a mutant phenotype. The normal ratio of a self-crossed dihybrid is 9:3:3:1, but due to epistatic interations of the A and B genes, the ratio gets modified to 9:7. The 9 portions in this ratio will correspond to the A_B_ genotype i.e., (AaBb, AABb, AaBB, AABB).

Which of the following investigators was (were) responsible for the following discovery? In DNA from any species, the amount of
Zarrin [17]

Answer :Erwin Chargaff   a Biochemist

Explanation:

He formulated the base paring of double helix of DNA. He reasoned that since the percentage of four  DNA  bases are of this proportions in human;

                                  Adenine=30.9% and Thymine =29.4%;

                                  Guanine=19.9% and Cytosine =19.8%

Then,  the amount of adenine will always be equal to thymine,

And the amount of Guanine equals to cytosine based on this percentages of distribution.  

(Adenine and Guanine are large, molecule of Purines, while thymine and Cytosine are Pyrimidine)  

 

He concluded (although scientist believed, he did not explicitly stated this) that this should be the base paring patterns in DNA molecule. This is the first Chargaff Rule.

His second rule is that the DNA composition, in the relative amount of the four bases Adenine, Thymine, Cytosine and Guanine varies in proportion from one organisms to another. And this is the basis of molecular diversity.

Which structure would be unaffected by the peripheral nervous system?
Sphinxa [80]
For the answer to the question above, the peripheral nervous system governs <span>all structures outside the brain and spinal cord. Peripheral nerves branch from the spinal cord through the foramen transversarium of each vertebrae. I suppose the structure it would not affect is the brain itself since cranial nerves are responsible for brain activity. Also, the spinal cord would also be unaffected since it is just a cylindrical bundle of nerve fibers that allow the connection of the peripheral nerves to the brain.</span>
