You are studying a pair of genes (A and B) that either gene alone can cause deafness. Deafness from Gene A is dominant. Deafness

from Gene B is recessive. If both genes cause deafness, then you are deaf. You conduct the following cross: AaBb x AaBb What is the likelihood of an offspring with normal hearing

Answer:

3 individuals out of 16 are likely to have normal hearing

Explanation:

Available data:

  • Two diallelic genes cause deafness, A and B
  • Dominant allele A causes deafness (AA + Aa)
  • Recessive allele a does not provoke deafness (aa)
  • Dominant allele B does not provoke deafness (BB + Bb)
  • Recessive allele b causes deafness (bb)

Cross:

Parentals)   AaBb    x     AaBb

Gametes) AB, Ab, aB, ab

                AB, Ab, aB, ab

Punnett square)    AB            Ab            aB            ab

                 AB       AABB     AABb      AaBB       AaBb

                 Ab       AABb     AAbb       AaBb       Aabb

                 aB       AaBB      AaBb       aaBB       aaBb

                 ab       AaBb      Aabb       aaBb       aabb

F1) Genotypes:

  •     1/16 AABB (AA genotype causes deafness)
  •     2/16 AABb (AA genotype causes deafness)
  •     1/16 AAbb (AA and bb genotypes cause deafness)
  •     2/16 AaBB (Aa genotype causes deafness)
  •     4/16 AaBb (Aa gentoype causes deafness)
  •     2/16 Aabb (Aa and bb genotypes cause deafness)
  •     1/16 aaBB (neither genotypes cause deafness)
  •     2/16 aaBb (Neigther genotypes cause deafness)
  •     1/16  aabb (bb genotype causes deafness)

     Phenotypes:  

  •     13/16 Deaf individuals, A-B- + A-bb, + aabb
  •      3/16 not Deaf individuals, aaB-

Answer:

BbxBb.

Explanation:

If Bb gene is crossed with Bb, the offspring is produced with normal hearing because both the genes are recessive in which the deafness gene hide and the hearing gene is dominant so the offspring can hear sounds clearly. The dominant A gene is responsible for deafness and we can see the offspring BbxBb in which no dominant gene is present. The other three offspring are deaf because of the presence of dominant A gene in their genetic makeup.

Answer:

Endocytosis.

Explanation:

Endocytosis may be defined as a type of cellular process by which the substance are brought into the cell. The phagocytosis and pinocytosis are involved in the endocytosis.

Since, the substance has been entered into the cell through transcytosis. The substance is engulfed after binding to its receptor and entered into the cell. This type of membrane transport is involved in the process of endocytosis only.

Thus, the answer is endocytosis.

g100num [7]

Answer:

The activity of cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase is prevented by caffeine. The caffeine prevents further dissociation of cAMP, which eventually increases the response within the body. The activity of neurotransmitters, that is, of noradrenaline or epinephrine, gets increased due to enhancement in response.  

This further enhances the activity of the heart, the rate of muscle contractions, blood pressure that further helps in delivering more oxygen to the brain, and other parts of the body. Thus, the inhibition of the enzyme cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase helps the athletes to prevent the wall.
