You are a botanist looking at the plant color in a new breed of Snapdragon. The two parent plants are Blue and Green and when yo

u cross them you make F1 plants that are Cyan in color (a light aqua color). The ratio of offspring is as follows: There were 42 plants with Blue flowers (R1), 39 plants with Green flowers (R2) and 86 plants with Cyan flowers. Is the number of your progeny consistent with a single-gene incomplete dominance inheritance pattern

Answer:

Incomplete dominance is the inheritance pattern where the dominant allele did not mask the recessive allele completely and form a mix of both alleles. Here the inheritance is the incomplete inheritance. The ratio of F2 generation is 1:2:1.

Given:

R1R1 = 42

R2R2 = 39

R1R2 = 86

Total R1 alleles = 2*42+86 = 170

Total R2 alleles = 2*39+86 = 164

Total alleles = 334

Frequency of allele R1 = 170/334 = 0.51

Frequency of allele R2 = 164 / 334 = 0.49

Expected number of each phenotype:

Total population = 167

Blue = R1R1 = 0.51 * 0.51 * 167 = 43.44

Green = R2R2 = 0.49 * 0.49 * 167 = 40.10

Cyan = 2*R1*R2 = 2*0.51*0.49*167 = 83.46

Phenotype     Observed(O)    Expected (E)    O-E      (O-E)2     (O-E)2/E

Blue                 42                   43.44               -1.44       2.0736     0.0477

cyan                86                   83.46                 2.54     6.4516     0.0773

green              39                    40.1                    -1.1       1.2100      0.0302

Total              167                     167                                               0.1552

Chi-square value = 0.155

Degrees of freedom = no. of phenotypes – 1

Df = 3-1 = 2

Critical value = 5.99

Chi-square value of 0.155 is less than the critical value of 5.99. So we accept the null hypothesis.

Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

The fate of glucose-6-phosphate,glycolytic intermediates and pentose phosphate pathways are described below

Explanation:

Fate of Glucose -6-phosphate

Glucose-6-phosphate undergo dephosphorylation to form glucose when there is an increase demand of glucose in the body.

Glucose-6-phosphate enters into pentose phosphate pathway to synthesize ribose-5-phosphate which is used during denovo pathway of purine nucleotide biosynthesis.

Fate of glycolytic intermediates

Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate is an important intermediate of glycolysis.The glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate act as a precursor during lipogenesis that deals with the biosynthesis of triacylglycerol.

Fate of pentose phosphate pathway intermediates

Ribose-5-phosphate and NADPH are the important intermediates of pentone phosphate pathway.

 Ribose-5-phosphate act as a substrate molecule during the denovo biosynthesis pathway of purine nucleotides.

NADPH act as a reducing agent during fatty acid biosynthesis process.
