(Mendelian Genetics) Consider three gene pairs Aa, Bb, and Cc. The uppercase letter is the dominant allele and each gene pair as

sorts independently of each other. What is the probability of obtaining an offspring displaying the A B C phenotype (that is having the dominant phenotypes for each of the three genes) from a cross of Aa Bb CC X Aa Bb cc parents?

Answer:

9/16

Explanation:

The cross was Aa Bb CC X Aa Bb cc

Because genes assort independently, we can analyze each of them separately in the cross, calculate the probability of getting offpsring with a dominant allele, and then multiply each of those probabilities to obtain the overall probability of having A_B_C_ progeny.

<u>A/a</u>

Aa x Aa ---> 3/4 A_, 1/4 aa

<u>B/b</u>

Bb x Bb ---> 3/4 B_, 1/4 bb

<u>C/c</u>

CC x cc ---> 1 C_

3/4 × 3/4 × 1 = 9/16 A_B_C_ offspring.

For fertilization to occur in humans, only one sperm is needed to weaken the barrier that surrounds the egg.
photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Approximately 200 out of 200 million sperms ejaculated during intercourse reach the general vicinity of the egg.  They sperms must undergo capacitation during which dilute inhibitory factors fluids of the female reproductive tract weaken the membrane of the sperm head so that head of the sperm can be broken easily when it came in contact with the egg.

The first sperm to reach an egg isn’t the one to fertilize it because the egg is surrounded by a gelatinous membrane called the zona pellucida. Outside this layer, a layer of small granulosa cells also present.

Therefore, it requires numerous sperm to clear a path through these barriers before one of them can penetrate the egg and fertilize it.

I would say 1 and 4 are the best answers. GMO crops are clones (genetically identical) so it reduces the genetic diversity making crops susceptible to new diseases.

Explain how health care professionals treat unregulated (or abnormal) cellular growth in the body
Alexeev081 [22]

New cells are typically produced during cell division. Cell division is a complex process that is regulated and checked at many points. Due to varying factors, the cell regulation mechanism may become non functional and this usually result in abnormal cell growth and division.

An abnormal cell growth may be cancerous or non cancerous. The best thing to do when one notices an abnormal growth in his body is to go and see the doctor. The doctors will administer appropriate test in order to determine the type of tumor that is present. If the tumor is non cancerous it will be removed by minor surgery. In case the tumor is cancerous, appropriate treatments will depending on the part of the body where it is found, the stage of growth and nature of the cancerous cells.
