Answer:

C (3:1)

Explanation:

Gregor Mendel was able to portray complete dominance of an allele over another when he crossed two purebreeding plants; one homozygous for red flowers and the other for white flowers. He discovered that all the F1 offsprings were red-flowered. Hence, he came up with his law of dominance.

He self-crossed the F1 offsprings which were all hybrids or heterozygous i.e. contained a combined allele in their genotype. He discovered that the offsprings produced a phenotypic ratio of 3:1 i.e 3 red-flowered plants to 1 white-flowered plant

The red-flowered plants have genotypes RR, Rr and Rr respectively while the white-flowered plant have a rr genotype.

Choose the correct sequence of the prokaryotic operon. A) gene, operator, promoter B) promoter, operator, gene C) operator, prom
Harrizon [31]

Answer:

The correct answer is option B, that is, promoter, operator, gene.

Explanation:

In a prokaryote, just in front of the operator, the promoter is located, and just in front of the structural genes, the operator is located. All these in combination give rise to an operon.  

Any gene, which codes for an enzyme or a structural protein is termed as a structural gene, in the lac operon, a structural gene codes for three distinct kinds of enzymes. A short sequence of DNA is situated just in front of the structural gene, which is known as the operator. An operator functions as a switch for transcription, that is, it monitors whether the process of transcription will take place or not.  

Just in front of an operator, a sequence of a promoter is present, and for the transcription and translation of all the structural genes, the RNA polymerase needs to combine first with the promoter. In case, if no transcription is to take place, then the operator allows the repressor to bind with it and prevent the attachment of RNA polymerase with the promoter. Hence, the correct sequence of a prokaryotic operon is a promoter, operator, and gene.

Explain how sex-linked inheritance occurs
Marina CMI [18]
Sex linked inheritance usually occurs on the X chromosome. Males have one X, meaning if they receive the specific sex linked gene, they will have the trait. However for a female to possess the trait, she must receive 2 X chromosomes for that trait.
