<h2>
The correct answer is explained below:</h2>
Explanation:
- According to the given question,
- For eye color, let the black color be represented by B allele and orange color be represented by b allele. Black is dominant over orange.
- For skin color, let the green skin be represented by G allele and white skin be represented by g allele. Green is dominant over white.
- The phenotype of Sam is black eyes and green skin so his genotype can be BBGG or BbGg. It is also said that one of his parents has phenotype orange eyes and white skin. That parent's genotype must be bbgg.
- Hence, the genotype of Sam must be BbGg.
- Carole has the phenotype of orange eyes and white skin. Her genotype would bbgg.
- The gametes produced by Sam are: BG, Bg, bG, bg.
- The gametes produced by Carole are: bg.
- Mating them we get,
BG Bg bG bg
bg BbGg Bbgg bbGg bbgg
(Black/ Green) (Black/ White) (Orange/Green) (Orange/ White)
- The genotypes and phenotypes (Eye color/ Skin color) obtained are represented above.
- The phenotypes (Eye color/ Skin color) obtained are in the following ratio:
(Black/ Green) : (Black/ White) : (Orange/Green) : (Orange/ White) = 1 : 1 : 1 : 1
Albinism is a recessive trait characterized by an absence of pigment melanin responsible for skin and hair color. Actually, albinism is caused by a defect in gene for enzyme which synthesizes melanin. The central dogma of molecular biology explains that the sequence of DNA specifies the sequence of mRNA, which, further, specifies codes for the sequence of proteins. Since a gene is a segment of DNA, altered gene will cause altered mRNA which will cause altered protein. Thus, <span>defect in gene for enzyme which synthesizes melanin will cause the absence of melanin and consequently, albinism.</span>
This occurs because REM sleep may provide at least part of the stimulation necessary to correctly develope the immature brain of infants.
REM sleep provides the electrical activity necessary to establish neural connections that include the development of synapses in the brain. These neurological process enables development of sensory, motor, learning and memory system.
