Assume that three loci, each with two alleles (A and a, B and b, C and c), determine the differences in height between two homoz

ygous strains of a plant. These genes are additive and equal in their effects on plant height. One strain (aa bb cc) is 10 cm in height. The other strain (AA BB CC) is 22 cm in height. The two strains are crossed, and the resulting F1 are interbred to produce F2 progeny. Give the phenotypes and the expected proportions of the F2 progeny.

Answer:

Given,

aabbcc = 10 cm

AABBCC = 22 cm

The genes are additive which means that each dominant allele will contribute to the overall height. The base minimum height is 10 cm (no dominant allele) and the maximum height is 22 cm (all six dominant alleles). Thus, six dominant alleles contribute 12 cm of height to the base height, which means that each dominant allele adds 2 cm of height.

When, aabbcc X AABBCC :

AaBbCc ( F1 )

When, AaBbCc X AaBbCc :

7 types of phenotype is possible. They are:

6 dominant alleles = 22 cm

5 dominant alleles = 20 cm

4 dominant alleles = 18 cm

3 dominant alleles = 16 cm

2 dominant alleles = 14 cm

1 dominant allele = 12 cm

0 dominant allele = 10 cm

They will be in the ratio = 1 : 6 : 15 : 20 : 15 : 6 : 1 as given by the ratio of additive effect governing three loci. The intermediate phenotype ( 16 cm ) will be maximum in number and the numbers will decrease as we move to the extremes.

Explanation:

In the given question, the trihybrid cross has been provided for the height trait and it is provided that recessive alleles (aabbcc) contribute 10 cm whereas dominant allele (AABBCC) contribute 22cm.

The height contributed by each dominant allele (A+A+B+B+C+C)= 22cm

The height contributed by each recessive allele (a+a+b+b+c+c)= 10 cm

The dominant genotype is 12 cm taller than recessive genotype which indicates that dominant allele contributes 2 cm.

In trihybrid cross-64 genotype will be formed with these dominant allele based on which the height of the plant will be determined.

The genotype with dominant allele (Height) and F2 progeny are

0 (10cm) -  1/64

1 (12cm)-    6/64

2 (14cm)-   15/64

3 (16 cm)-  20/64

4 (18cm)-   15/64

5 (20 cm)-  6/64

6 (22 cm)-  1/64

Greenhouse gases absorb radiation from the and re-radiate it back toward the
Flauer [41]

Answer:

Greenhouse gases absorb radiation from the EARTH and reradiate back toward the EARTHwhich help to maintain a normal temperature range in the Earth.

Explanation:

Greenhouse gases are gases that are capable to of absorbing infrared radiations that are emitted from the Earth's surface and reradiating back to the Earth which contributed to the greenhouse effects. Examples of greenhouse gases are carbondioxide, methane and water vapour. Others are ozones, flourinated gases, nitrous oxides e.t.c.

The green house gases has lead to climate changes in the Earth by trapping heat, the contribute to respiratory diseases by smog and air pollution. Greenhouse gases concentrations are high during warm seasons and low during cold seasons.
