Consider a study of two genes, "A" and "B". Each gene has two alleles, represented by upper- and lower-case letters. Assume that

an upper-case letter represents a dominant allele, and a lower-case letter represents a recessive allele. If the parental cross ("P" generation) is AABB x aabb, which the following crosses would represent an F1 testcross?

Answer:

AaBb × aabb

Explanation:

A test cross is a cross between an unknown genotype (dominant phenotype) with a homozygous recessive genotype in order to discover the actual genotype of the species exhibiting dominant phenotype.

This is because one allele of a gene is capable of masking the expression of another, the allele masking is called DOMINANT allele while the allele being masked is called RECESSIVE allele. The combination of these two alleles is termed heterozygosity.

An organism that is phenotypically dominant for a specific trait may either be heterozygous or homozygous for that gene. For example, a plant gene for tallness with an dominant allele T, and recessive allele t. This plant will need tall if the genotype is TT (homozygous dominant) or Tt (heterozygous dominant). In order to know which of these genotypes the plant actually has, a test cross is conducted.

In this example, two genes A and B are involved. For the first gene, A represents dominant allele while a represents recessive allele. For the second gene, B represents dominant allele while b represents recessive allele.

In a cross involving parents AABB (homozygous dominant for both genes) and aabb (homozygous recessive for both genes), the F1 progeny will all exhibit phenotypic dominance (AaBb).

However, we cannot know the genotype by merely looking at the phenotype. We cannot ascertain yet whether the dominance is heterozygous or homozygous, hence the need for a test cross.

The test cross is between the dominant F1 progeny and a homozygous recessive i.e. AaBb × aabb. Some of the F2 generation will show recessive traits if the unknown genotype is heterozygous.

Korolek [52]

Answer and explanation:

One of the unordered forms of the dying cell is necrosis.

Necrosis is caused by lesions that impede internal balance control: water and some ions, especially sodium and calcium, normally pumped out, flow freely into the swelling and rupturing cell. The necrosis rupture releases into the surrounding tissue cellular content, rich in proteases, enzymes that "cut" other proteins, and other toxic substances. In addition to direct toxicity to neighboring cells, the stroke generates substances that attract immune cells, causing an intense inflammatory reaction: some types of white blood cells, especially neutrophils and macrophages, converge to necrosis tissue and ingest dead cells. Inflammation, typical of necrosis, is important for limiting infections and removing cell debris, but white blood cell activity and secretions can also damage neighboring, sometimes devastating, normal tissues.
