When referring to height in terms of genotypes, is there a reason why V and v are used to commonly represent the alleles?

Biology

Flura [38]3 years ago

Answer:

Explanation:

Geneticists use letters to represent alleles of different characters.

(Alleles: one of the two or more alleles  of a character.)

A single letter is used to represent both the alleles of a particular character.

A capital letter represents a dominant allele, while a small letter represents a recessive one.

<u>The letters do not just have one standard representation</u>. same letter can be used to represent different characters. However, the letters may relate to the allele. For example: the letter 'B' can be used to represent Brown eyes.

4. What genotypes of parents will have only white-fur offspring? Parent 1 genotype = Parent 2 genotype = What genotypes of paren
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

All white offspring: Parent 1 genotype = homozygous dominant

                            Parent 2 genotype = homozygous/heterozygous dominant

For all black offspring: Parent 1 genotype = homozygous recessive

                                     Parent 2 genotype = homozygous recessive

Explanation:

The cross was between a white mouse and a black mouse and the phenotypic ratio of the resulting offspring is 50% white and 50% black.

Assuming that fur color in the mouse is represented by the allele A (a), In order to give 1:1 phenotypic ratio of the offspring, it means the white mouse is heterozygous with Aa genotype and the black mouse is homozygous with aa genotype. Also, it means that the allele A is dominant over the allele a.

                       Aa    x    aa

                 Aa    Aa    aa    aa

Aa = white

aa = black

Ratio of white to black = 50/50 or 1:1

Hence, in order for a cross to yield only white offspring, the parents can either be homozygous AA and AA or one will be homozygous AA and the other will be heterozygous Aa.

1.              AA    x    AA

       AA    AA    AA    AA (all white offspring)

2.            AA    x    Aa

        AA    Aa    AA    Aa (all white offspring).

In order to produce only black offspring, both parents must be homozygous aa.

             aa    x    aa

         aa    aa    aa    aa    (all black offspring)

Can someone pls help me ​
frozen [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

a. Since both the parents are carriers, they have one allele that is the gene for the normal trait and one gene that is for the sickle cell trait. So the genotypes of the parents are Hh

b.   If we use a punnett square:

                    H            h

         H       HH           Hh

         h        Hh           hh

Genotypic ratio: 1 HH: 2Hh: 1hh

Phenotypic ratio:      1 normal blood cell: 2 sickle cell carriers: 1 sickle cell disease

Which of the following is a basic type of vaccine?
Katyanochek1 [597]

The basic type of vaccines are:

nucleic acid vaccines

subunit vaccine

live, attenuated vaccine

An easy, secure, and reliable method of preventing hazardous infections before you are exposed to them is vaccination. It boosts your immune system and builds up your body's natural defenses against particular illnesses.

Your immune system is trained by vaccinations to produce antibodies, exactly as it does when it is exposed to a disease. However, because vaccinations only include dead or weakened versions of bacteria or viruses, they do not really cause the disease or increase your chance of developing its symptoms.

In order to create immunity, vaccines act in conjunction with your body's natural defenses. Your immune system reacts when you receive a vaccination.
