Answer:
Genotype ratio: 1, 1:1, 1:2:1
Phenotype ratio: 1, 3:1
Explanation:
Single gene pair cross is also known as monohybrid cross. This means that only one gene usually with two alleles is observed and it express one trait.
For example, if we name the gene for a certain trait with A, the possible genotypes are AA (dominant homozygous), aa (recessive homozygous) and Aa (heterozygous). Possible crosses are:
P: AA x AA
F1 : all of them are AA
The same is with aa x aa (all of the offspring are with aa genotype)
P: AA x Aa
F1: AA Aa AA Aa (genotype ratio 1:1) (phenotype ratio 3:1)
The same genotype ratio is in aa x Aa (offspring will have aa Aa aa Aa-(genotype ratio 1:1) (phenotype ratio 1:1)
P: Aa x Aa
F1: AA Aa Aa aa (genotype ratio 1:2:1) (phenotype ratio 3:1)
P: AA x aa
F1: Aa Aa Aa Aa (1)
Answer:
Absence of a nucleus
Explanation:
In eukaryotic cells, DNA is typically harvested and saved in the nucleus, though prokaryotic cells lack a nucleus, so the DNA merely floats in the cytoplasm instead.
Answer:
If the genotype of the parents are <em>Iᵃi </em>and <em>I</em>ᵇ<em>i, </em>then four type of offspring will be produced.The genotype of the offspring are, <em>IᵃIᵇ, Iᵃi,Iᵇi, </em>and <em>ii.</em>
Explanation:
<em>IᵃIᵇ = </em>As the alleles are co-dominant in nature, so both type of alleles are expressed. The blood group will be AB. So, both A and B type of antigen will be found in plasma membrane of RBC.
<em>Iᵃi= </em>In this type of genotype only A type of antigen will be expressed in the membrane of RBC. The blood group will be A type.
<em>Iᵇi= </em>In this type of genotype only B type of antigen will be expressed in the membrane of RBC. The blood group will be B type.
<em>ii= </em>This is a recessive type of genotype. So, no antigen will be found on the membrane of the RBC. And the blood group will be O type.
The offspring's ratio will be 1:1:1:1.
