You perform the following dihybrid cross: A blaBx Ab/aB. The A and B genes control different traits. What phenotypic ratio would
Luda [366]

Answer:

Option-D

Explanation:

In the given question the genotype of parental allele is- AbaB X AbaB. The alleles formed will be- AB, Ab,aB, ab in which the crossover allele will be AB and ab.

1. Unlinked genes

Now of these alleles are unlinked then the alleles will assort independently of each other therefore performing the punnett square we will get dihybrid ratio as 9:3:3:1 in which  

1. A_B_ are 9

2. aaB_ are 3

3. A_bb are-3

4. aabb- 1

Since the crossover allele are AB and ab therefore A_B_ are 9 and aabb- 1 represent recombinant genotype.

2. Linked genes

When the genes will be linked then chances of crossing over will be reduced as a result of which only two type of allele will be formed which are-  Ab and aB and the recombinant frequency will become less.

Crossing these allele will  form Aabb , AaBb , AaBb  and aaBB  genotypes. The recombinant ratio will decrease as A_B_ is 2 and aabb is not present.

Thus, option-4 which states that the unlinked ration is  9:3:3:1  and linked ratio is  <9: >3: >3: <1 is correct.

Using at least 3 steps explain how to make a wet mount slide with an Elodea plant​
Masja [62]
Step One - Obtain a clean microscope slide.

Step Two - Place a drop of liquid on the slide. This is the “wet” part of the wet mount. The liquid used depends on the type of cell being viewed:
If examining a plant cell, tap water can be used.
If examining an animal cell, physiological saline (or contact lens solution) must be used, because if plain water is used, the cell will explode from osmotic pressure. Unlike plant cells and bacteria, animal cells have no cell wall to structurally support them.

Step Three - Obtain the specimen to be used. Some introductory biology classics for viewing include:
Skin of an onion bulb: In order to view the cells, a very thin layer of skin must be obtained. Take a single layer of onion and bend it towards the shiny side. After it snaps, pull gently, and a transparent layer of skin, similar to Scotch tape, will appear.
Elodea leaf: Elodea leaves are two cell layers thick. The cells in one layer are smaller than the cells in the other, so elodea leaves can be used to better understand a microscope's depth of field.
Cheek cells: Human epithelial cells can be obtained by gently rubbing a toothpick on the inside of the mouth, and then swirling the toothpick in the physiological saline on the slide.
Pond water: Obtaining some water from a pond makes wet mount preparation a breeze, since the water and the specimens are both included.

Two things that Mitosis and Meiosis have in common
shutvik [7]

Answer:

Both mitosis and meiosis are multistage processes. The stages are interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase. The same general processes occur in each of these stages for mitosis and meiosis. Interphase is cell growth and DNA replication in preparation for cell division.

Which of the three types of viruses shown above would you expect to include glycoproteins?
Mademuasel [1]
The correct answer is D: I and II only.
Viruses have protein capsids, which protect their genetic material. This capsid sometimes is covered by viral envelopes which have glycoproteins on their surface. Glycoproteins help in the process of binding to the host cell and infecting it. In this example, virus III has the structure of a bacteriophage and it does not seem to have glycoproteins. Bacteriophages use their tail fibers to attach to the bacterial host and inject their genetic material. On the contrary, viruses I and II have glycoproteins sticking out of their envelopes.
