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

How does the surface area of a mitochondrial or chloroplast affect its energy output
katovenus [111]
The larger the surface area of the mitochondrial chloroplast would allow more energy to be received from the sun, which would later affect the energy output by increasing the amount of energy released.

dem82 [27]
I believe the triceps brachii  is acting as an agonist. The triceps is an extensor muscle of the elbow joint and antagonist of the biceps and brachialis muscles. It can also fixate the elbow joint when the fore arm and hand are used for the fine movements. For example during elbow extension the triceps Brachii acts as the Agonists while the Biceps Brachii acts as the Antagonist.
