4 0

Answer:

1. Probability is 50% or 1/2

2. a) Genotypic ratio= 1 AA: 2Aa : 1aa

   b) Phenotypic ratio = 3 normal pigment : 1 albino

3. Monohybrid cross

Explanation:

This question involves a single gene coding for pigment in humans. The allele for normal pigmentation (A) is dominant over the allele for albinism (a).  

According to this question, if two heterozygous parents (Aa) are crossed i.e. Aa × Aa. The following proportion of offsprings will be produced:

AA, Aa, Aa, and aa

- Hence, the probability of having a heterozygous offspring is 2/4 or 1/2 or 50%

- Genotypic ratio= 1 AA: 2Aa : 1aa

  Phenotypic ratio = 3 normal pigment : 1 albino

c. This type of cross is called MONOHYBRID CROSS because it involves a single gene

A geneticist has devised a strategy to study protein translocation into the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) in yeast cells. She is in
Brrunno [24]

Answer:

A geneticist has devised a strategy to study protein translocation into the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) in yeast cells. She is interested in two different signal sequences that are thought to operate via slightly different translocation mechanisms. Using genetic engineering, she has fused the first signal sequence to a protein whose cytosolic expression is absolutely necessary for cell survival in the selective medium, but is inactive when in the ER. In the same cell, she has also fused the second signal sequence to a toxic protein whose cytosolic expression leads to cell lysis but is harmless when in the ER. Whereas wild-type cells undergo lysis upon the expression of these fusion proteins, she has been able to identify viable mutants, each of which has a loss-of-function mutation in a gene encoding a protein involved in membrane translocation. The products of these genes are probably ...

Explanation:

Involved in the transport of proteins with the first signal sequence but not the second one.

What is the purpose of the pericardial sac that surrounds the heart in mammals
Nitella [24]

Answer:

Pericardial sac has protective tole

Explanation:

Pericardial sac or pericardium is a fibrous tissue that surrounds the heart. It has two coats:

  1. the outter coat-parietal pericardium
  2. the inner coat-visceral pericardium or epicardium which is double-layered and contains pericardial fluid between those two layers (pericardial fluid is necessary as a lubricant for the heart movement).

Besides lubrication, percardium also protects heart from infections, fixes it and limits its movements.

What is true about microevolution?
iris [78.8K]
Microevolution refers to changes that occur within a single species or group or organisms.  Microevolution, as opposed to macroevolution, occurs in a short period of time. In microevolution, the ancestor and the descendant obviously belong to the same type.  For example, certain pests have evolved in such a way that they become immune to pesticides; the same thing has happened to certain weeds and herbicides. Hope this helps.
