In humans, blue eyes are caused by a recessive allele ("b") that dilutes pigment production. BB and Bb individuals have brown ey

es and bb individuals have blue eyes. Red-green color blindness is caused by the X-linked recessive allele Xc. The 2 loci assort independently. If a BbXcX mother and a BbXY father have a son, what is the probability that the son will be: color-blind?_________________________blue-eyed? __________________________blue-eyed and color-blind? ___________________

Answer:

Probability that the son will be:

color-blind = 1/2

blue eyed = 1/8

blue eyed and color-blind = 1/16

Explanation:

Mother : BbXcX

Father : BbXY

Colorblindness is X linked recessive trait hence will be caused when the son has XcY genotype.

XcX   X    XY :

     Xc    X

X  XcX  XX

Y   XcY  XY

Half of the sons will have normal vision and other half will be colorblind hence, there is 1/2 probability that the son will be colorblind.

Eye color is autosomal trait and blue color will be produced when the child has bb genotype.

Bb     X    Bb  :

   B    b

B  BB  Bb

b  Bb   bb

1/4 of the children will have blue eyes. Since half of the children are expected to be males, 1/4 * 1/2 = 1/8 sons are expected to have blue eyes.

Probability of a son being blue eyed and color blind will be :

1/8 * 1/2 = 1/16

Explain the importance of the law of conservation of mass.

A researcher found a method she could use to manipulate and quantify acetylation and methylation in embryonic cells in culture.
Gemiola [76]

Answer:a) decreased chromatin condensation

Explanation:

During eukaryotic cell division a chromatin becomes obvious and it is simply a mass of genetic material made up of DNA and proteins which condenses to form chromosomes.

The chromatin primarily function in the compression the DNA into a unit so compacted that will be so tiny and can fit within the nucleus.

Chromatin condensation is driven by condensins and interactions between histones.

Condensins however, are large protein complexes whose central role in cell division is chromosome organization and segregation.

Chemical manipulation as stated above is decreases the rate of chromatin condensation.
