Two true-breeding strains of corn with the genotypes CC and cc are crossed, where C = crunchy phenotype is dominant to c = soft

phenotype. The resulting F1 corn are crossed, and the ratio of crunchy to soft phenotypes in the F2 generation is 3:1. This is an example of:
A. non-disjunction.
B. a di-hybrid cross.
C. a mono-hybrid cross.
D. a test cross.
E. complementation.

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-C

Explanation:

A mono-hybrid cross is a cross which is performed to study the pattern of inheritance involving or studying a single trait at a time.

In the given case, the trait studied is the texture of corn seed with two versions that are crunchy and soft phenotypes. The crosses made between them showed 3:1 ratio of crunchy to soft phenotypes in F₂ generation.

Since 3:1 ratio in F₂ generation is obtained in the monohybrid cross therefore, Option-C is the correct answer.

The right option is; B)missense

Missense mutation is the type of mutation that causes sickle cell anemia

A missense mutation is a type of nonsynonymous substitution in which the change of a single nucleotide (base pair) influences the genetic code and results in a codon that code for a different amino acid. This type of mutation can affect the function of the protein, and it is responsible for human diseases such as, sickle-cell anemia and Epidermolysis bullosa.

Why does each parent contribute only one allele to the offspring?
Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

Because the gametes implemented in fertilisation are haploid in nature, in the case of humans, mature gametes contain 23 chromosomes instead of 46 which will then combine with another parents' 23 chromosomes during fertilisation, i.e: 23 (dad) + 23 (mom) = 46 (zygote)

Explanation:

A regular somatic cell has 46 chromosomes, 2n, 2 alleles but the gametes have 23 chromomes, n, 1 allele. The usual significance of this is so that there is diversity in the offspring and the offspring can gain characteristics (bad or good) from both parents.
