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

Describe the events by which depolarization of a smooth muscle cell results in contraction and explain why smooth muscle contrac
antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

The depolarization of the smooth muscle cell membranes triggers the potential for contraction action, since the endoplasmic reticulum releases calcium in the intraplasmic zone, causing myosin and actin to unite, generating a sweeping movement and bringing the z lines of the sarcomero.

Smooth muscle contractions are more sustained over time by the distribution and type of muscle fiber, as they are more tapered.

Explanation:

The smooth muscle is that muscle that controls non-voluntary contractions, that is, controlled by the somatic nervous system, and is not related to locomotion but rather to involuntary movements such as intestinal motility, vascular contraction, etc.

How is polyploidy defined<br>​
Anettt [7]

Answer:

Polyploidy is the state of a cell or organism having more than two paired (homologous) sets of chromosomes. Most species whose cells have nuclei (eukaryotes) are diploid, meaning they have two sets of chromosomes—one set inherited from each parent. Hence ploidy is defined with respect to a cell.
