Biology

Finger [1]3 years ago

The <em>TYR </em>gene is responsible for the production of the enzyme tyrosinase which is crucial in the production of melanin which is primarily responsible for skin pigmentation and for pigmentation of other organs. In albinism, there is mutation of the <em>TYR </em>gene therefore there will be no transcription of DNA to mRNA and no translation of mRNA to the enzyme tyrosinase leading to its deficiency. The deficiency of tyrosinase will eventually lead to the absence of melanin and ultimately, the absence of pigmentation in an organism.

In tomatoes, tall (D) is dominant over dwarf (d) and smooth fruit (P) is dominant over pubescent fruit (p), which is covered wit
juin [17]

Answer:

The correct answer would be - Dd Pp.

Explanation:

As it is given that tall D is dominant over dwarf d and smooth plant Pis dominant over pubescent p so the the genotype of dominant trait that is tall and smooth tomato plants would be DDPP . similarly the recessive trait that is dwarf and pubescent plant would be ddpp

Thus, the cross between these would be -

DD PP x ddpp

And gametes would be - DP,DP, dp, and dp.

So, all the 16 offspring would have Phenotype would be heterozygous tall and smooth and DdPp genotype .

Thus, the correct answer would be - Dd Pp.
