A wire-hair terrier and a smooth-hair terrier are mated. The offspring produced are 6 wire-hair puppies and 2 smooth-hair puppie

s. a. What pattern of inheritance best describes this situation? b. What is the genotype(s) of the wire-haired puppies? Of the smooth-haired puppies? c. What would be the expected genotype and phenotype ratios of a mating between 2 wire-haired terriers that are heterozygous?

Let’s assume a wire-hair terrier is a true breed for wire hair with alleles (BB) and a smooth-hair terrier is true breed for smooth hair (bb). Allele B is dominant over its allele b. When these two terrier mated and produce offspring wire-hair terrier and smooth-hair terrier in the ratio 3:1.

Based on this result it can be inferred that –

a. The pattern of inheritance is monohybrid cross.

b.Genotype of wire-hair terrier (1BB and 2 Bb) and genotype of smooth-hair terrier is (bb)

c. Phenotype ratio will be 3:1 and genotypic ratio will be 1:2:1.

a) The inheritance pattern is dominant autosomal.

Autosomal means that the allele is found on an autosomal chromosome (otherwise the inheritance is sex-linked). Dominant means that the phenotype will be expressed whether the individual has one copy of the dominant allele (is heterozygous) or has two copies of the dominant allele (is homozygous). In this case, allele for the wire-hair is dominant while the allele for a smooth-hair is recessive.

b) Since there are more wire-haired puppies, we concluded that the allele for wire-hair is dominant over smooth-hair. If we name the alleles D-dominant and d-recessive than: the possible genotypes for the wire-haired puppies are DD and Dd, while the smooth-haired puppy has dd genotype.

c) Mating between 2 wire-haired terriers that are heterozygous (have both alleles) would be:

P (parents): Dd  x  Dd

F1 (offspring): DD  Dd  Dd  dd

This means that the phenotype ratio is 3:1 (wire-hair: smooth-hair).

Genotype ratio is 1:2:1 (dominant homozygous : heterozygous : recessive homozygous).

In sickle-cell disease, as a result of a single amino acid change, the hemoglobin tetramers associate with each other and assemb
Phoenix [80]

Answer:

One of the common genetic disorders is sickle cell anemia, in which 2 recessive alleles must meet to allow for destruction and alteration in the morphology of red blood cells. This usually leads to loss of proper binding of oxygen to hemoglobin and curved, sickle-shaped erythrocytes. The mutation causing this disease occurs in the 6th codon of the HBB gene encoding the hemoglobin subunit β (β-globin), a protein, serving as an integral part of the adult hemoglobin A (HbA), which is a heterotetramer of 2 α chains and 2 β chains that is responsible for binding to the oxygen in the blood. This mutation changes a charged glutamic acid to a hydrophobic valine residue and disrupts the tertiary structure and stability of the hemoglobin molecule. Since in the field of protein intrinsic disorder, charged and polar residues are typically considered as disorder promoting, in opposite to the order-promoting non-polar hydrophobic residues, in this study we attempted to answer a question if intrinsic disorder might have a role in the pathogenesis of sickle cell anemia. To this end, several disorder predictors were utilized to evaluate the presence of intrinsically disordered regions in all subunits of human hemoglobin: α, β, δ, ε, ζ, γ1, and γ2. Then, structural analysis was completed by using the SWISS-MODEL Repository to visualize the outputs of the disorder predictors. Finally, Uniprot STRING and D2P2 were used to determine biochemical interactome and protein partners for each hemoglobin subunit along with analyzing their posttranslational modifications. All these properties were used to determine any differences between the 6 different types of subunits of hemoglobin and to correlate the mutation leading to sickle cell anemia with intrinsic disorder propensity.

Which type of bond forms between water molecules
Harlamova29_29 [7]
Hydrogen bonds. 
The question asks for bonds BETWEEN molecules NOT WITHIN molecules. A covalent bond occurs WITHIN water molecules between hydrogen and oxygen. 
Hydrogen bonds occur BETWEEN water molecules; HYDROGENS of water molecules form a hydrogen bond (a type of intermolecular force) with electronegative OXYGEN atoms of other water molecules.
