Every HIV particle contains two RNA molecules. If two genes from one RNA moleculebecome detached and then, as a unit, get attach

ed to one end of the other RNA moleculewithin a single HIV particle, which of these is true?A) There are now fewer genes within the viral particle.B) There are now more genes within the viral particle.C) A point substitution mutation has occurred in the retroviral genome.D) The retroviral equivalent of crossing over has occurred, no doubt resulting in aheightened positive effect.E) One of the RNA molecules has experienced gene duplication as the result oftranslocation.

Answer:

One of the RNA molecules has experienced gene duplication as the result of translocation.

Explanation:

Translocation and duplication are some of the structural abnormalities in the chromosomes that may even cause certain genetic disorders. Duplication is the presence of a genetic segment for more than one time in the chromosome. The repeated genetic segments are mostly present in the tandem pattern. When a chromosome fragment breaks off and attaches to a non-homologous chromosome, it is called translocation. It leads to the deletion of a genetic segment in one chromosome and duplication in the other.

According to the given information, a genetic segment bearing two genes is detached from one RNA and gets attached to the other RNA molecule of the HIV genome. Therefore, the RNA molecule has undergone translocation and has lost a genetic segment while the other has gained a genetic segment (duplication) due to translocation.

Suppose that a farmer wishes to start a you‑pick berry farm, where customers pick their own fruit from the berry bushes. In this
Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

The genotypes of the two original plants the farmer has are as follows:

Plant 1: ss,TT,Aa and Plant 2: Ss,tt,aa.

Explanation:

A genotype is literally the underlying makeup that will produce a result that is visible and measurable, that we know as phenotype. In this particular case, we have a farmer who wishes to establish his farm with a specific type of plant: one that is tall, thornless, and has terminal flowers because they are the best for berry-picking, and that is the business he wishes to establish.

In order to be able to obtain this type of plant, he needs to first count with a starting point, the parent plants from which he will be able to produce the line he wants to establish. But to do that he needs to first know the genetic makeup with which, when he crosses the plants, he will then obtain the phenotypical results he seeks.

The question itself tells us the types of alleles (which are, in simple terms, the holders of the genetic information), that produce the phenotypical characteristics of the plants the farmer has.  So we know that there is one type of bush that is tall, thornless and has terminal flowers, and its alleles are s, t and a. The other bush has short, thorned and axial characteristics, and therefore its alleles are: S, T and A.

When the question then gives us the information about the resulting plants when the originals are selfed, and their characteristics, we are able to tell the genetic makeup, or genotype, of the original two plants the farmer has because we can combine the alleles mentioned given the characteristics (phenotypes) and thus obtain the two parent plants.
