Imagine you do a test cross between a purple-flowered pea plant having serrated leaves (a dominant trait) and a white-flowered p

ea plant having smooth edges. If the purple-flowered plant is heterozygous for both traits, the expected ratio in the offspring is 1 purple-serrated:1 purple-smooth:1 white-serrated:1 white-smooth. Instead, you see 4 purple-serrated:1 purple-smooth:1 white-serrated:4 white-smooth. What is the explanation of this ratio

Answer:

genes for flower color and edge shape are linked. They do not assort independently.

Explanation:

<u>Available data:</u>

  • test cross between a purple-flowered pea plant having serrated leaves and a white-flowered pea plant having smooth edges.
  • serrated leaves → dominant trait
  • smooth edges → recessive trait
  • purple color → dominant trait
  • white color → recessive trait
  • F1: 4 purple-serrated:1 purple-smooth:1 white-serrated:4 white-smooth.

There are two genes involved in the cross. The expected ratios are 1:1:1:1 because we assume genes assort independently. However, we see a different phenotypic distribution. When phenotypic ratios differ from the expected ones, it means that genes are linked.

To know if two genes are linked in the same chromosome, we must observe the progeny distribution. If individuals, whose genes assort independently, are test crossed, they produce a progeny with equal phenotypic frequencies 1:1:1:1. But if instead of this distribution, we observe a different one, that is that phenotypes appear in different proportions, we can assume that genes are linked in the double heterozygote parent

Chiasma form during meiosis I but not during mitosis. <br> a. True <br> b. False
Goryan [66]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Chiasma is the site of crossing over. It is an X-shaped site that appears in a tetrad (bivalent) chromosome during the diplotene stage of prophase I of meiosis I. Crossing over refers to the exchange of segments of chromatids and occurs between homologous chromosomes only. Crossing over is the event of prophase I of meiosis I and produce new gene combinations.

The homologous chromosomes are separated from each other but remain attached at chiasmata. The dissolution of chiasmata occurs by the end of prophase I and separates the homologous chromosomes completely from each other. Crossing over does not occur in mitosis. Since mitosis does not include crossing over, chiasmata are also not formed in mitosis.

Homologous chromosomes are similar in all of these characteristics except:
Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

Except alleles

Explanation:

Alleles are different versions of the same gene and that's because they have different DNA, even though it is slightly different it can make a lot of changes so that's why they have different alleles.

Allele is actually the variant form of some genes.

The best<u> example </u>for alleles we can find in the gene for blossom color in some species of flowers or plants. Only one single gene is controlling the color and we can see sometimes different versions of it. Those different versions are called Alleles.

High doses of stimulants can influence driving capabilities by
irakobra [83]
I believe high doses of stimulants can influence driving capabilities by inducing dizziness, panic reactions and hallucinations. Stimulants are substances that can affect a person's mood, often giving the user extra energy and a stronger sense of well-being. They can range from legal substances such as nicotine and caffeine to illegal drugs like cocaine and methamphetamine.
