What could be some weakness with using a test cross to determine Fred’s genotype?

Biology
1 answer:
Komok [63]4 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Test-cross is often used to determine the genotype of parent that is dominant as we cannot determine that the dominant parent is homozygous or heterozygous for the trait just be looking at it.

In a test-cross, the dominant trait organism will be crossed with a recessive type organism. The results will predict the genotype of the dominant parent.

<u><em>Some of the drawbacks of the test cross are:</em></u>

<u><em>a) It might be difficult to find a recessive type of the particular trait.</em></u>

<u><em>b) The result prediction can take a lot of time. This is because enough offspring have to be developed to predict the result which will take time. </em></u>

If there are probability of 50% of producing male gamete then what would be the probability of producing transgender. When fathe
Vaselesa [24]

The probability of producing a transgender = None ( D ) when the father is gay

The probability of producing male gamete is not affected by the sexual orientation of the Father because the production of the male gamete is carried by the spermatogonia found in the testes of a male. and every male specie regardless of your sexual orientation have testicles where the spermatogonia undergoes mitotic divisions to produce the male gametes.

Hence the probability of producing a transgender given that the father is gay is non-existent i.e.0%

netineya [11]
O allele 60 + 60+30 = 150
o allele 
30 + 10+10 = 50
O allele frequency = 150/200 = 0.75
Thus, the O allele frequency is 3/4 or 0.75
o allele frequency = 50/200 = 0.25
The o allele frequency is 1/4 or 0.25

7 ways that invasive species affect the environment
seropon [69]

Invasive species reduce biodiversity levels, create a nuisance, cause economic loss, and disrupt ecosystem equilibrium.

<h3>Effects of invasive species</h3>
  • Invasive species tend to drive away or kill native species.
  • Invasive species reduce the overall biodiversity of plants or animals in the ecosystem.
  • They cause economic loss through the loss of important native species.
  • They create nuisance in the environment and may be costly to get rid of.
  • They affect ecosystem equilibrium by causing species change.
  • They are usually difficult to manage.

When you decrease the pH in the simulation, the ocean’s acidity increases. What do you expect to happen over time to the populat
kherson [118]

Answer:

With decrease in pH of ocean water, the survival rate of corals, algae, and fish in coral reef reduces.

Explanation:

Coral reefs find difficulty in living in acidic ocean water. It is so because the coral’s shell that is made up of calcium carbonate is unable to sustain in acidic environment.  

Not only this the skeleton of snails, clams, algae , fish etc is also made up of calcium carbonate. Increased acidity leads to death of these species.  

Thus, the lower is the pH of ocean water, the higher is its acidity and hence the lower is the probability of survival of corals, algae, and fish in the coral reef
