Skin color in a certain species of fish is inherited via a gene with four different alleles. Each allele confers a unit of color

darkness such that having allele S1 confers one unit of color, S2 has two units, S3 has three units, and S4 confers four units. A fish of this type has the genotype S1, S3, and its mate has the genotype S2S4. What proportion of their offspring would be expected to have five units of color

Answer:

25% of the progeny with genotype S3S4 is expected to express 5 units of color

Explanation:

<u>Available data</u>:

  • Skin color in a certain species of fish is inherited via a gene with four different alleles
  • allele S1 confers one unit of color, S2 has two units, S3 has three units, and S4 confers four units.

Cross:

Parentals) S1 S3   x   S2S4

Gametes) S1   S3      S2     S4

Punnett square)       S1           S3

                      S2     S1S2      S2S3

                      S4     S1S4      S3S4

F1) 1/4 = 25% of the progeny is expected to be S1S2, expressing 3 units of color ⇒ allele S1 provides one unit, allele S2 provides two units of color

    1/4 = 25% of the progeny is expected to be S2S3, expressing 5 units of color ⇒ allele S2 provides two units, allele S3 provides three units of color

    1/4 = 25% of the progeny is expected to be S1S4, expressing 5 units of color ⇒ allele S1 provides one unit, allele S4 provides four units of color

    1/4 = 25% of the progeny is expected to be S3S4, expressing 7 units of color ⇒ allele S3 provides three units, allele S4 provides four units of color

25% of the progeny with genotype S3S4 is expected to express 5 units of color

puteri [66]

Answer:

The drinking water in a location in Florida had a fall order and test and this happened due to the storm water runoff that had carried huge amounts of soil and minerals into it.

The solution for this problem is that the people of that local area should practice afforestation.

Explanation:

Afforestation is defined as a process of planting more and more trees in an area. The plants are helpful for the people and environment in many ways. The most important thing is that the plant reduces the soil erosion in an area.

The root of the plant and small hub tends to hold up the soil and prevent them to flow away from the high speed runoff water into the water body.

Also it provides the favorable conditions for more animals and birds. It also provide fresh air to the local people to inhale and utilizes all the carbon dioxide.

vichka [17]

The skin on the palmar surface of the hands and feet forms ridges, so-called papillary ridges, in patterns that are unique to each individual and which do not change over time. Even identical twins (who share their DNA) do not have identical fingerprints.

Delicious77 [7]

The correct answer is C. To reduce the use of artificial pesticides, reduce costs, and control pests.

Explanation

Integrated pest management (IPM) is a method that integrates different practices and scientific principles to make adequate management with pests. This method considers knowledge about the habits, life cycle, needs, and aversions of the pest, reducing the use of toxic methods and implementing less toxic methods, monitoring pest activity and adjusting methods over time, tolerating harmless pests, setting a threshold to decide when it is time to act, among others as its main principles. Therefore, the correct answer is C. To reduce the use of artificial pesticides, reduce costs, and control pests.
