The wild-type color of horned beetles is black, although other colors are known. A black horned beetle from a pure-breeding stra

in is crossed to a pure-breeding green female beetle. All of their F1 progeny are black. These F1 are allowed to mate at random with one another, and 320 F2 beetles are produced. The F2 consists of 239 black, 61 brown, and 20 green. Use these data to explain the genetics of horned beetle color.
One hypothesis to explain the results is that:
A) two genes are involved with 12:3:1 epistasis, such that A_B_ and A_bb are black, aaB_ is brown, and aabb is green
B) two genes are involved with 12:3:1 epistasis, such that aabb and A_bb are black, aaB_ is brown, and A_B_ is green.
C) two genes are involved with 12:3:1 epistasis, such that A_B_ and A_bb are black, a_BB is brown, and AABB is green.
D) two genes are involved with 9:6:1 epistasis, such that A_B_ is black, A_bb and aaB_ are brown, and aabb is green.
E) two genes are involved with 9:4:3 epistasis, such that A_B_ is black, A_bb is brown, and aaB_ and aabb are green.

One hypothesis that explains the result is : A) Two genes are involved with  12:3:1  epistasis, such that A_B_ and A_bb are black, aaB_ is brown,and aabb is green.

Explanation:

  • This is a case of Dominant Epistasis.
  • When two genes are involved and presence of dominant allele of one gene masks the effect of either allele of the second gene then the epistasis is termed as dominant epistasis.
  • In the given case black :brown: green ratio is approximately equal to  12:3:1.
  • Here presence of a dominant A allele that is responsible for the black colour masks the effect of either allele of B. Therefore A_B_ and A_bb produces black beetles
  • Again , absence of dominant A allows B to express itself and Brown beetles are produced thus aaB_ is brown.
  • When both the genes are present as recessive alleles, neither brown nor black colour is expressed and the beetles are green.Thus, aabb are green.

What is the effect of soil salinization on crops?
matrenka [14]

Answer:

Salinity affects production in crops, pastures and trees by interfering with nitrogen uptake, reducing growth and stopping plant reproduction. Some ions (particularly chloride) are toxic to plants and as the concentration of these ions increases, the plant is poisoned and dies.

Refer to the Biochemistry in Focus section of your text for this chapter to answer this question. Sarin inhibits acetylcholinest
DENIUS [597]

Answer:

c. Pyridostigmine binds to the acetylcholinesterase active site and prevents sarin from binding to and modifying the enzyme active site.

Explanation:

Sarin is a toxic compound which inhibits acetylcholinesterase enzyme. This enzyme degrades the neurotransmitter acetylcholine after the required muscle cell stimulation. In absence of its activity, acetylcholine is not degraded and the muscle cells are stimulated uncontrollably. The muscles are not able to relax which ultimately proves fatal for the victim.

Pyridostigmine is also an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor like Sarin. However its period of inhibition is short compared to organophosphorus inhibitors like sarin. It competes with sarin and replaces it in the active site of acetylcholinesterase. The enzyme is still inhibited but for a shorter time as compared to inhibition by Sarin. Hence after sometime, it becomes functional again and resumes its normal activity. Acetycholine starts getting degraded relaxing the muscles.
