A researcher is curious if Bt resistant bollworms are susceptible to an insecticide called DDT. Bollworms susceptible to Bt have

genotype RR or Rr, whereas those resistant to Bt have genotype rr. Bollworms susceptible to DDT have genotype tt, whereas bollworms resistant to DDT have genotypes Tt or TT. In an effort to better understand how these two genes are inherited, the researcher crosses an RR tt bollworm with an rr TT bollworm to produce the F1 generation. Then, the researcher crosses the F1 generation to produce an F2 generation. What proportion of the F2 generation is resistant to both Bt and DDT

Answer:

The correct answer is - 3/16 or 18.75% portion will be resistant to both Bt and DDT.

Explanation:

It is given that bollworms that are susceptible to Bt are represented by either RR or Rr and resistance one are shown by rr genotype and bollworms that are resistant to DDT are represent TT or Tt genotype and susceptible to DDT have tt genotype.

Cross: RR tt with rr TT

Gametes: Rt and rT

F1 cross:

    RT

rT  RrTt ( susceptible Bt and resistant DDT)

F1 Cross with F1

Gametes: RT, Rt, rT and rt

cross:

             RT      Rt        rT         rt

RT       RRTT   RRTt   RrTT    RrTt

Rt        RRTt    RRtt    RrTt      RrTt

rT       RrTT    RrTt     rrTt       rrTt

rt       RrTt      Rrtt     rrTt      rrtt

The bold genotypes are the three out of 16 that are resistant to both DDT and Bt.

Which are the main points of the cell theory? Select all that apply.
shutvik [7]

Answer Options:

a. Cells are the basic units of structure and function in living things.

b. New cells are produced from existing cells.

c. All cells enclose their DNA within a nucleus.

d. All living things are made up of cells.

Answer:

a. Cells are the basic units of structure and function in living things.

b. New cells are produced from existing cells.

d. All living things are made up of cells.

Explanation:

Cell theory states that cell living organisms are composed of at least one cell, which are the basic unit of life.

Cells are always produced from other living cells, and cannot spontaneously generate.

However, not all cells enclose their DNA within a nucleus, prokaryotic organisms (bacteria) do not possess a nucleus but still have DNA

How many nucleotides are needed to code for two amino acids?
den301095 [7]
3 nucleotides code for a single amino acid. This group of 3 is known as a codon. If you are coding for two amino acids, you would need two codons, 3 nucleotides each, for a total of 6 nucleotides.

How does kinetic energy affect a popsicle freezing as it changes its state of matter:
VMariaS [17]

As ice melts into water, kinetic energy is being added to the particles. This causes them to be 'excited' and they break the bonds that hold them together as a solid, resulting in a change of state: solid -liquid.

The type of immunity that is general and nonspecific and recognizes microbial invaders quickly is called:_______
GalinKa [24]

Answer:

Innate or natural immunity

Explanation:

Innate immunity is a defense system that we are born with and that protects us against antigens. It is the sum of all defense mechanisms that occur naturally to protect an individual from infectious diseases. They are physiological mechanisms that  are present throughout the entire animal kingdom  and it is an inherent quality of each species. They are not specific to a given pathogen, nor do they generate memory
