Answer:
are influenced by many different genes
Explanation:
A quantitative trait is a given phenotypic trait influenced by the combined effects of many genes and its environment. A quantitative trait locus (QTL) is a region of DNA (i.e., a <em>locus</em>) associated with the variation of a quantitative trait. In the last years, some QTLs correlated to the variation of HDL, LDL, and triglycerides levels were mapped in different genomic regions, thereby showing that these complex traits are regulated by the interaction of multiple genetic <em>loci</em>.
Answer:
A)
Explanation:
Because animals can be largely divided into three groups based on the type of symmetry of their body plan: radially symmetrical, bilaterally symmetrical, and asymmetrical.
Answer:
The ratio of blue to white offspring in the progeny is 4 blue : 12 white.
Explanation:
<u>Available data:</u>
- The dominant allele K is necessary to synthesize blue flower pigment
- K is inhibited by the dominant allele D
- Plants with the genotype K- D- will not produce pigment (and their flowers will be white)
Cross: testcross for (Kk Dd) plants
Parental) KkDd x kkdd
Gametes) KD kD Kd kd
kd kd kd kd
Punnet square) KD Kd kD kd
kd KkDd Kkdd kkDd kkdd
kd KkDd Kkdd kkDd kkdd
kd KkDd Kkdd kkDd kkdd
kd KkDd Kkdd kkDd kkdd
- Whenever D is present, it inhibits the expression of the K gene, so every plant with the dominant D allele will be white. This plants´ genotype is kkD- or K-D-.
- Whenever D is absent and K is present, every plant with genotype K-dd will be blue.
- The recessive form for K and D genes will express white-flowered plants, with genotype ddkk
F1) Progeny genotype: 4/16 KkDd, white-flowered plants
4/16 Kkdd, blue-flowered plants
4/16 kkDd, white-flowered plants
4/16 kkdd, white-flowered plants
The ratio of blue to white offspring in the progeny is 4 blue : 12 white.
Blue-flowered plants: 4 Kkdd
White-flowered plants: 4 KkDd + 4 kkDd + 4 kkdd
Protist are eukaryotic organisms that cannot be classified as a plant animal fungus. They are mostly unicellular, but some like algae, are multicellular. Kelp, or “seaweed” is a large multicellular protist that provides food, shelter, and oxygen for numerous underwater ecosystems.
