Color in poison dart frogs is controlled by a single gene with multiple alleles. A blue poison dart frog that is heterozygous fo

r the blue allele (Cb) and red allele (Cr) is crossed to a yellow poison dart frog that is heterozygous for the orange (Co) and yellow (Cy) alleles. Their progeny are 1/2 blue, 1/4 orange, and 1/4 yellow. Determine the order of dominance for the alleles. (Order of dominance is indicated as: A > B > C > D such that A is dominant over all alleles, B is dominant over C and D, C is dominant only to D, and D is recessive to all alleles.)

Answer:

Cb>Cy>Co>Cr

Explanation:

First of al we need to do the Punnett square. As a result we get the genotypes:

CyCb

CyCr

CoCb

CoCr

Because there are no red frogs, red is the least dominant as it isn't expressed in any genotype.

Half of the progeny are blue and half of the possible genotypes contain the blue allele meaning that blue is expressed in all genotypes. This means that blue is the most dominant.

The only alleles left are yellow and orange. We can deduce that yellow is more dominant than orange because one of the parent frogs is yellow and contains the genes for yellow and orange.

As a result blue is the most dominant, yellow is the second most dominant, orange is the third most dominant and red is the least dominant.

Several species of warblers can live in the same spruce tree ONLY because they.
Talja [164]
Several species of warblers can live in the same spruce tree only because they occupy different nitches within the tree. So option "c" is the correct option as far as the given question is concerned. These birds may not be of the same species but they do have some similarities like they are very vocal and can be rarely seen but definitely heard. All species of warblers are insectivorous and also very small. As they are small so identifying them can be very difficult for a person. These birds are mostly dull greenish or brownish in color.

guapka [62]

Answer:

<em><u>Fungal spores</u></em> are microscopic biological particles that allow fungi to be reproduced, serving a similar purpose to that of seeds in the plant world. Fungi decompose organic waste and are essential for recycling of carbon and minerals in our ecosystem.

Explain Mendel's law of independent assortment and how the 9:3:3:1 phenotypic ratio among the F2 of a dihybrid cross provides ev
GrogVix [38]

Answer:

Explanation:

Mendel's law of independent assortment state that two different genes assort independently in gamete formation.

To reach this conclusion, one has to do a dihybrid cross. This means that two genes responsible for different traits need to be analyzed at the same time.

1) Starting with a <u>parental generation of a cross between two pure lines</u> (homozygous for both genes) <u>with different traits</u>, a plant with yellow and round seeds (YYRR) and another with green and wrinkled seeds (yyrr). <u>The F1 will be phenotypically homogeneous (</u>yellow and round)<u>, and genotypically heterozygous (</u><u>YyRr</u><u>)</u>.

2) If the individuals from the F1 are crossed with one another,  we have to do a Punnett Square to determine the phenotypic ratio of the F2.

  • If the genes assort independently, the F1 individuals will produce their different gametes with the same probability. Each possible gamete will appear in a 1/4 proportion: YR, Yr, yR, yr.
  • The 9:3:3:1 ratio is a result of analyzing the possible phenotypes that result from the dihybrid cross.

See the attached image for an illustration of the crosses in each generation and the Punnett Square.
