Two genes determining a trait In primroses, the dominant allele of gene K is necessary to synthesize blue flower pigment. Blue p

igment synthesis is inhibited by a dominant allele of gene D. In other words, plants with the genotype K- D- will not produce pigment (and their flowers will be white) because of the presence of the D allele. If you set up a testcross for (Kk Dd) plants what is the ratio of blue to white offspring in the progeny?

Answer:

The ratio of blue to white offspring in the progeny is 4 blue : 12 white.

Explanation:

<u>Available data:</u>

  • The dominant allele K is necessary to synthesize blue flower pigment
  • K is inhibited by the dominant allele D
  • Plants with the genotype K- D- will not produce pigment (and their flowers will be white)

Cross: testcross for (Kk Dd) plants

Parental)   KkDd     x     kkdd

Gametes) KD   kD   Kd   kd      

                kd   kd   kd   kd

Punnet square)        KD        Kd       kD       kd

                      kd     KkDd   Kkdd   kkDd   kkdd

                      kd     KkDd  Kkdd   kkDd   kkdd

                      kd     KkDd   Kkdd   kkDd   kkdd

                      kd     KkDd   Kkdd   kkDd   kkdd

  • Whenever D is present, it inhibits the expression of the K gene, so every plant with the dominant D allele will be white. This plants´ genotype is kkD- or K-D-.
  • Whenever D is absent and K is present, every plant with genotype K-dd will be blue.
  • The recessive form for K and D genes will express white-flowered plants, with genotype ddkk

F1) Progeny genotype: 4/16 KkDd, white-flowered plants

                                      4/16 Kkdd, blue-flowered plants

                                      4/16 kkDd, white-flowered plants

                                      4/16 kkdd, white-flowered plants

     The ratio of blue to white offspring in the progeny is 4 blue : 12 white.

     Blue-flowered plants: 4 Kkdd

     White-flowered plants: 4 KkDd + 4 kkDd + 4 kkdd

A(n) resistance is an unusually high occurrence of a disease in a certain place during a certain time period.
prohojiy [21]

The correct answer is False. The correct word is Epidemic and not resistance. 
An abrupt decrease in a host immunity of a pathogen or newly emerging novel pathogen that is found in the endemic equilibrium with the exceeded transmission threshold is where an epidemic occurs.

aev [14]

Answer:

The small population of zooplankton have an unequal effect on the marine community.

Explanation:

According to this question, there are three trophic levels of organism in a lake as follows: non-native fish, zooplankton, and algae. However, due to the declination in the number of zooplanktons in the lake as they were fed on by the non-native fish, the algal population increased to form a BLOOM.

This bloom of algal species can be attributed to the lack of zooplanktons, which represented the only herbivorous (plant eaters) organism in that community. Hence, their relatively small population have an unequal effect on the marine community. This means that the small population of zooplanktons caused an imbalance in the community and this is why ZOOPLANKTON is the keystone species in this scenario.
