Answer:

480 nucleotides comprise this molecule of dna

Explanation:

According to Chargaff rule,

  •        Adenine is paired with thymine
  •        Cytosine is paired with guanine

Given in the question

Adenine residue = 120

Cytosine residue = 120

So, [A] = [T]

i.e. [A =120] = [T=120]

again, [C] = [G]

i.e. [C=120] = [G=120]

hence, total number of nucleotides present

=> [A] + [T] + [C] + [G]

=> 120 + 120 +120 +120

=> 480.

A mating of two people of medium height (where three genes control height): AaBbCc x AaBbCc produce _____ distinct phenotypes de
Ede4ka [16]

<u>Answer:</u>

A mating of two people of medium height (where three genes control height): AaBbCc x AaBbCc produce <u>Seven</u> distinct phenotypes determined by the number of genes inherited.

Option: (D)

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • Traits are the characters that we observe. When the parents AaBbCc and AaBbCc are crossed then AABBCC and aabbcc are two different dominant and recessive genomes seen in the offspring.
  • Offspring with AABBCC will be height whereas aabbcc will be dwarf. There will be offspring with different heights depending upon the dominant and recessive gene present in them.
  • Another genome produced are AABBCc/AaBBCC/AABbCC, next will have four dominant and 2 recessive, next will have 3 dominant and 3 recessive AaBbCc, next will have 2 dominant and 4 recessive, one dominant and five recessive. All together offspring produced will be 64
