Use the forked-line method to solve this problem (SHOW YOUR WORK): In cucumbers, there are 3 genetic traits, as follows: dull fr

uit is dominant to glossy fruit orange fruit color is dominant to cream fruit color bitter cotyledons are dominant to nonbitter cotyledons You cross a plant that is heterozygous for all 3 genes to another plant that is heterozygous for dull fruit but has cream fruit color and nonbitter cotyledons. Among the next generation, what proportion of the offspring will be a) dull, orange, bitter b) glossy, cream, nonbitter c) heterozygous for all 3 genes (HINT: it's not the same answer as a) above

Answer:

a) dull, orange, bitter ---->  3/16 D- Oo Bb

b) glossy, cream, nonbitter ---> 1/16 dd oo bb

c) heterozygous for all 3 genes ---> 2/16 Dd Oo Bb

Explanation:

<u>Available data:</u>

  • dull fruit (D-) is dominant to glossy fruit (dd)
  • orange fruit color (O-) is dominant to cream fruit color (oo)
  • bitter cotyledons (B-) are dominant to non-bitter cotyledons (bb)
  • Cross: a plant heterozygous for all 3 genes with a plant that is heterozygous for dull fruit but has cream fruit color and non-bitter cotyledons.

Parentals) Dd Oo Bb     x    Dd oo bb

To get the proportions of the offspring using the forked-line method, we must analyze each gene separately.

<u>D gene:</u>

Parentals) Dd    x    Dd

Gametes ) D   d    D    d

Punnett square)      D      d

                        D   DD    Dd

                        d    dD     dd

F1) 1/4 DD

     2/4 Dd

     1/4 dd

<u>O gene:</u>

Parentals) Oo    x    oo

Gametes) O    o     o     o

Punnett square)     O      o

                        o    Oo     oo

                         o    Oo    oo

F1) 1/2 Oo

     1/2 oo

<u>B gene:</u>

Parentals) Bb    x    bb

Gametes) B   b      b    b

Punnett square)   B        b

                  b         Bb      bb

                  b         Bb      bb

F1) 1/2 Bb

     1/2 bb

What proportion of the offspring will be

a) dull, orange, bitter

   (1/4 DD + 2/4 Dd) x 1/2 Oo x 1/2 Bb = 3/4 D- x 1/2 Oo x 1/2 Bb

   3/16 D- Oo Bb

b) glossy, cream, nonbitter

   1/4 dd x 1/2 oo x 1/2 bb

   1/16 dd oo bb

c) heterozygous for all 3 genes

    2/4 Dd x 1/2 Oo x 1/2 Bb

    2/16 Dd Oo Bb

Predict the outcomes of a plant with 6 diploid chromosomes that fertilized a similar plant in which the egg failed to undergo me
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

The correct answer would be - triploid plant.

Explanation:

Triploidy is a condition which can be defined as the 3 set of chromosome in an organism, the extra set of chromosome may be come from the maternal organism or the paternal derived. Maternal derived triploidy known as the digynic while in in the case of the paternal derived called diandric.

In this case the sperm goes under the meiosis so the each gamete will have one chromosome of each set (I I I) while the egg failed to undergo meiosis so the gamete carry complete set of chromosome ( II II II ) after fertilization the outcome will be Digynic triploidy (III III III).

Thus, the correct answer would be - triploid plant.

Why do vaccines work for some diseases but not others?
otez555 [7]

Answer:

The antibodies produced by a vaccine only fight specific antigens.

Explanation:

Antibodies only bind to specific antigen during an immune reaction. The introduction of foreign substance in the body stimulate the B-cells to produce antibodies that fight against infections. Only specific antibodies are produced following antigen presenting cells that bind to antigens. They capture and display the antigens to the antibodies.
