Mitochondria are known as the<em> powerhouses</em> of the cell. They are organelles that act like a digestive system which takes in nutrients, breaks them down, and creates energy-rich molecules for the cell.

Mitochondria Structure

Mitochondria are shaped perfectly to maximize their productivity. They are made of two membranes. The outer membrane covers the organelle and contains it like a skin. The inner membrane folds over many times and creates layered structures called <em>cristae</em>. The fluid contained in the mitochondria is called the <em>matrix. </em>

The folding of the inner membrane increases the surface area inside the organelle. Since many of the chemical reactions happen on the inner membrane, the increased surface area creates more space for reactions to occur.

The outer membrane is technically the skin and covers the organelle.

The inner membrane folds over many times and creates layered structures called cristae.

What is the typical F2 ratio in the case of dominant epistasis?
inysia [295]

Answer:

12:3:1

Explanation:

<em>The typical F2 ratio in cases of dominant epistasis is 12:3:1.</em>

<u>The epistasis is a form of gene interaction in which an allele in one locus interacts with and modifies the effects of alleles in another locus</u>. There are different types of epistasis depending on the type of alleles that are interacting. These include:

  • Dominant/simple epistasis: Here, a dominant allele on one locus suppresses the expression of both alleles on another locus irrespective of whether they are dominant or recessive. Instead of the Mendelian dihybrid F2 ratio of 9:3:3:1, what is obtained is 12:3:1. Examples of this type of gene interaction are found in seed coat color in barley, skin color in mice, etc.
  • Other types of epistasis include <em>recessive epistasis (9:3:4), dominant inhibitory epistasis (13:3), duplicate recessive epistasis (9:7), duplicate dominant epistasis (15:1), and polymeric gene interaction (9:6:1).</em>

Which of the following is an example of Mendel’s Law of Dominance? * 1 point A dog breeder breeds a brown dog and a black dog an
Mashutka [201]

Answer:

A dog breeder breeds a brown dog and a black dog and all the puppies are brown.

Explanation:

This is because of the Mendelian inheritance order of characteristics. In all other example, there are several other things that don't align with this order like gender variability, specie variability etc.

All the puppies are brown and this shows proper and complete dominance in accordance with the law...

Yes! We can see which are dominant!

In this first generation progeny, we see that stripes are dominant and spots are recessive. And white bodies are dominant over orange!
