The statement given in the question is FALSE.

Protein molecules are made from amino acids. Structurally, an amino acid is made up of a carboxyl group, an amino group and a unique side group. The amino group of amino acid is composed on nitrogen linked to two hydrogen atoms. Generally, the nitrogen component of all proteins is between the range of 15% to 25%. The quantity of oxygen in proteins also falls within the same range. Thus, the percentage of nitrogen in proteins is not up to 50%.

In a cross of AaBb x AaBb, what fraction of the offspring can be expected to express one of the two dominant alleles, but not bo

Zepler [3.9K]

Answer: 1/4 (4 out of 16 offsprings express one of the two dominant alleles)

Explanation:

The dominant alleles are A and B

At the end of the cross AaBb x AaBb, 16 offsprings would result. They are as follows: AABB, AABb, AaBB, AaBb

AABb, AAbb, AaBb, AABB,

AaBB, AaBb, aaBB, aaBb,

AaBb, Aabb, aaBb, aabb.

Of all, only 4 offsprings (aaBb, aaBB, AAbb, Aabb) expresses one of the A or B. so 4/16 = 1/4
