Answer:
12:3:1
Explanation:
<em>The typical F2 ratio in cases of dominant epistasis is 12:3:1.</em>
<u>The epistasis is a form of gene interaction in which an allele in one locus interacts with and modifies the effects of alleles in another locus</u>. There are different types of epistasis depending on the type of alleles that are interacting. These include:
- Dominant/simple epistasis: Here, a dominant allele on one locus suppresses the expression of both alleles on another locus irrespective of whether they are dominant or recessive. Instead of the Mendelian dihybrid F2 ratio of 9:3:3:1, what is obtained is 12:3:1. Examples of this type of gene interaction are found in seed coat color in barley, skin color in mice, etc.
- Other types of epistasis include <em>recessive epistasis (9:3:4), dominant inhibitory epistasis (13:3), duplicate recessive epistasis (9:7), duplicate dominant epistasis (15:1), and polymeric gene interaction (9:6:1).</em>
Answer: The correct answer would be gene pool.
Explanation:
Gene pool refers to the sum of all the alleles in an individual.
The allele refers to the alternate forms of the gene.
Large population usually has more genetic diversity as compared to small population. Variation in gene pool is essential for survival of a population.
DNA is present within the nucleus of the cells and it is responsible for the production of various proteins and enzymes to keep the cellular activity going on. However, it cannot directly do so and seeks help of the messenger RNA molecules. DNA transcription is a process that involves transfer of the DNA code from the DNA to the mRNA molecule for the production of proteins.
