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

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.

Hyperglycemia (elevated blood sugar levels), such as would happen in diabetics, can damage the glomeruli.

Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Hyperglycemia which means high Glucose level in the blood as a result of lack of insulin can damage the glomeruli. This interfere with the function of the glomeruli. Normally glomeruli fiters blood and remove nutrients to form urine but hyperglycemia will affect it's negatively and will make protein to leak from the blood into the urine. This can also lead to glomeruli called glomerulosclerosis.

La polidactilia en la especie humana se debe a un alelo dominante. Entre Francisco y Martha, ambos abuelos de Santiago, uno de e

lesya [120]

Answer:

Abuelo/a con polidactilia heterocigoto, Pp
Abuelo/a normal, pp
Juan normal, pp
Esposa de Juan con polidactilia, PP o Pp
Santiago con polidactilia, Pp

Explanation:

Datos disponibles:

Polidactilia es causada por un alelo dominante, P.
El alelo recesivo p produce numero normal de dedos.
Francisco y Martha → Abuelos → uno de ellos con polidactilia
Juan → Hijo → Normal, pp
Santiago → Nieto → Polidactílico

Uno de los padres, ya sea Francisco o Martha, es polidactílico, lo que implica que ésta persona tiene, por lo menos, un allelo dominante en su genotipo, P- (El simbolo "-" esta representando un alelo dominante o uno recesivo).

Si Juan es normal, entonces su genotipo es pp, lo que significa que recibió un alelo recesivo de su padre y otro de su madre. Es decir que el parental policactílico es heterocigota, de forma que pudo heredarle un alelo recesivo a Juan. El otro parental probablemente sea normal, pp, pudiendo solo heredarle a Juan el alelo recesivo.

Entonces, uno de los padres tiene genotipo Pp (heterocigota) y el otro pp (homocigota recesivo).

Juan es norma, pp.

Santiago, hijo de Juan, es polidactílico, lo que implica que lleva en su genotipo por lo menos un alelo dominante, P. Pero Juan solo pudo heredarle un alelo recesivo, p. Por lo tanto, Santiago es heterocigota para la característica, Pp, y heredó el alelo dominante de su madre, que puede ser homcigota dominante PP o heterocigota Pp.

Supongamos que Francisco es polidactílico y Martha normal.

1º Cruza: Francisco x Martha

Parentales) Pp x pp

Gametas) P p p p

F1) 1/2 = 50% Pp

1/2 = 50% pp → Juan

2º Cruza: Juan x Esposa (opción uno: esposa homocigota dominante)

Parentales) pp x PP

Gametas) p p P P

F2) 4/4 = 100% Pp → Santiago

2º Cruza: Juan x Esposa (opción dos: esposa heterocigota)

Parentales) pp x Pp

Gametas) p p P p

F2) 1/2 = 50% Pp → Santiago

1/2 = 50% pp

Why do scientists consider vestigial structures evidence for evolution?

ANTONII [103]

Vestigial structures are taken as an example of evolution because they give us an indication of structures that, due to the adaptation to the environment, disappeared.

At the end of the vertebral column, we have the coccyx as an example of this. Its believed that it could have formed a tail and currently, is only a small bone without any specific function, even some individuals are born without it.
