The two genes f and g, code for body size and aggressiveness, respectively. The F allele is dominant over f, and codes for a lar

ger body size. The G allele is dominant over g, and codes for more aggressive ants. You perform a Mendelian dihybrid cross (NOT a test cross) on these traits. If there is no recombination between these genes (recombination frequency = 0.00), what ratio should you see phenotypes in in the offspring? (note that the parent generation was made up of large aggressive ants and small docile ants.)
A. 9 large aggressive:3 large docile:3 small aggressive: 1 small docile
B. 1 large aggressive:1large docile:1small aggressive:1small docile
C. 12 large aggressive:4 small docile (i.e. 3 large aggressive:1small docile)
D. None of the above

Answer:

The correct answer is option C.

Explanation:

As it is given that, a Mendelian cross is performed between two parents resulted by cross the parents. This suggests that the parents or P generation has zero recombination hence the genotype of Parents would be AA and aa in nature. Therefore, all the F1 generation offspring were Aa in nature. The selfing of the F1 offspring will be:

         A  a

A AA Aa

a Aa aa

Genotype: AA: Aa: aa :: 1:2:1

Phenotype: Dominant: recessive :: 3:1

Which of the following insulate against the cold? carbohydrates lipids nucleic acids proteins
irakobra [83]
<span>Lipids insulate against the cold. Fat is our natural coat produced by the over eating process. Not really sure, but it comes to mind that the layer under the skin can be the main reason for it as it prevents and keep our inner parts warm. Also the high blood flow that it demands can help by over circulating it.</span>

Answer 1:

The mutation shown is point mutation.

A point mutation can be described as a type of mutation in which only a single nucleotide of a sequence is either:

  • changed
  • added
  • deleted

The addition of the single nucleotide will cause the entire open reading frame to be changed. The amino acid sequence will change entirely from the position where the insertion mutation occurs. This is because the code for making amino acids works on a three base pattern. The reading of the three bases will be altered completely by the addition of just a single nucleotide.

Answer 2:

No, the resulting protein will not be altered.

The genetic code occurs in a linear sequence with triplet format. The change in a single base will cause the wrong amino acids to be formed. However, if the different code is common for the same amino acid then there will be no effect on the amino acid being formed.

<em>For example, the code GUA makes the amino acid Valine. If a mutation occurs and the code becomes GUU instead of GUA, then the resulting amino acid formed will also be Valine. Hence, there will be no alternation in the formation of the protein.</em>

Answer 3:

Melanoma cancer is the type of skin cancer which is associated with cancer from sun light. It is mainly caused due to the harmful ultraviolet rays which act as a mutagen.

<em>The mutations might keep coming back because although the growth have been removed, the other skin cells of the body might still have the mutation in them. As a result, growth will be seen again in the skin cells which might occur again and again. </em>

Explain what happened genetically in the insect population.
Alekssandra [29.7K]

as insects became exposed to pyrethroids, toxicity of pyrethroids weakened over time. which means that Most insects had the allele for pyrethroid resistance, but it remained masked. The allele for said pyrethroid resistance, evidently increased throughout the population.
