The Punnett square is a diagram used to predict the result of a breeding experiment through analysing predictable traits which will be passed on genetically by each organism. This diagram helps to identify the probability of an offspring having specific genotypes and characteristics after the breeding process. This is determined by placing the parent genotypes into the diagram and crossing them.

DNA is responsible for your phenotype, but to what extent?
telo118 [61]
Several genes determine your skin color; this is a DNA-generated phenotype. However, if you spend a lot of time in the sun, your skin will be darker. This is an environmental influence on your phenotype.

The blue people of Troublesome Creek Kentucky were genetically isolated from the rest of the world for generations. A rare reces
Serhud [2]

Answer:

The correct answer would be - d. With the end of genetic isolation gene flow took place

Explanation:

It is given that people of Troublesome Creek Kentucky were isolated and have a rare recessive allele that results in a blue tone to their skin. However, later these isolated people connected with the people from outside, and due which allow them to intermate. Intermating among populations from isolated and people from outside leads to gene flow.

Methemoglobinemia was present in the isolated population as they had both recessive alleles in their genotype and other hand people from outside might have heterozygous or both dominant allele genotypes that make them free from this disorder.

Due to the intermating and gene flow, the number of heterozygous conditions rises and after many generations slowly methemoglobinemia could have disappeared due to the masked recessive allele.

(70pts) Recall the story of Three Blind Mice where the farmer’s wife cuts off the mouse tails with a carving knife. Because of t
omeli [17]

Answer:

What will happen to the population of mice that it will keep growing at a tremendous rate without a fear of being caught by a predatory. This will increase the population curve of mice but will decrease the population curve of the cat at similar speed.

What else can happen is that cats will no longer be depending on Mice for their food and they will be finding some alternate food host.

What else can happen is the trait of tailless cannot  be favored by environment as proposed by Lamarack in his theory of evolution that if organism acquires some favorable trait during his life then it is possible that he will pass this trait to offspring. Though this trait is not naturally induced therefore,  there are no chances that tailless mice can born and nature choose it as a favorable trait.

In 1880 August weismenn did experiment of similar nature, he cut off the tails of 20 successive generations of mice abut not a single tailless mouse was born. Therefore, he proved that until nature selects some traits, they are not that easily passed from one generation to another if induced by human.

Conclusion: <em>Therefore, after 50 generation mice will be just like parent mice with tails however they will have good population and less predators.</em>


Hope it help!
