An illustration of an organism and a dichotomous key are given. What is the organism?

What is the probability that each of the following pairs of parents will produce the indicated offspring? (Assume independent as

ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

(a) AABBCC × aabbcc->AaBbCc → 1

(b) AABbCc × AaBbCc->AAbbCC → 1/32

(c) AaBbCc × AaBbCc->AaBbCc → 1/8

(d) aaBbCC × AABbcc->AaBbCc → 1/2

Explanation:

In such cases we calculate the probability of each allelic pair separately.

(a) AABBCC × aabbcc -> AaBbCc

Aa Aa Aa Aa Bb Bb Bb Bb Cc Cc Cc Cc

↓ ↓ ↓

4/4 = 1 4/4 = 1 4/4 = 1

In case of gene A, out of the 4 probable allelic combinations, 4 will be Aa so the probability is 4/4 = 1.

In case of gene B, out of the 4 probable allelic combinations, 4 will be Bb so the probability is 4/4 = 1.

In case of gene C, out of the 4 probable allelic combinations, 4 will be Cc so the probability is 4/4 = 1.

So, the total probability of getting AaBbCc = 1 x 1 x 1 = 1.

(b) AABbCc × AaBbCc -> AA bb CC

AA AA Aa Aa BB Bb Bb bb CC Cc Cc cc

↓ ↓ ↓

2/4 1/4 1/4

In case of gene A, out of the 4 probable allelic combinations, 2 will be AA so the probability is 2/4.

In case of gene B, out of the 4 probable allelic combinations, 1 will be bb so the probability is 1/4.

In case of gene C, out of the 4 probable allelic combinations, 1 will be CC so the probability is 1/4.

So, the total probability of getting AA bb CC = 2/4 x 1/4 x 1/4 = 1/32.

(c) AaBbCc × AaBbCc -> AaBbCc

AA Aa Aa aa BB Bb Bb bb CC Cc Cc cc

↓ ↓ ↓

2/4 2/4 2/4

In case of gene A, out of the 4 probable allelic combinations, 2 will be Aa so the probability is 2/4.

In case of gene B, out of the 4 probable allelic combinations, 2 will be Bb so the probability is 2/4.

In case of gene C, out of the 4 probable allelic combinations, 2 will be Cc so the probability is 2/4.

So, the total probability of getting AaBbCc = 2/4 x 2/4 x 2/4 = 1/8.

(d) aaBbCC × AABbcc->AaBbCc

Aa Aa Aa Aa BB Bb Bb bb Cc Cc Cc Cc

↓ ↓ ↓

4/4 = 1 2/4 4/4 = 1

In case of gene A, out of the 4 probable allelic combinations, 4 will be Aa so the probability is 4/4 = 1.

In case of gene B, out of the 4 probable allelic combinations, 2 will be Bb so the probability is 2/4.

In case of gene C, out of the 4 probable allelic combinations, 4 will be Cc so the probability is 4/4 = 1.

So, the total probability of getting AaBbCc = 1 x 2/4 x 1 = 1/2.

What type of relationship is there between sea anemones and clown fish?

Margarita [4]

They would have a symbiotic relationship because they use each other for their own benefit. This causes them to have a mutual relationship. The anemone provides protection and shelter for the clownfish and the clownfish provides the anemone nutrients.

Structure of plant cell

schepotkina [342]

Answer:

A cell wall, a broad central vacuole, and plastids such as chloroplasts are all present in plant cells. The cell wall is a dense layer that covers the cell and provides structural support and protection. It is located outside the cell membrane. The turgor pressure against the cell wall is maintained by the central vacuole.

What is convergent evolution?

Inga [223]

Convergent evolution in my understanding is the independent evolution of similar features in species of different lineages.

You find two fossils. One is a very primitive organism and the other is a complex organism. Which of these two fossils do you th

Trava [24]

The very primitive organism is the oldest because, over time, organisms gradually evolved into more complex organisms. First came the primitive organism, then it evolved into the more complex one, or the younger fossil.
