In pigs, the allele for a wavy, rough coat (R) is dominant to the allele for a soft, fine coat (r). A rough coat boar and a soft

coat sow mate. They produce several litters, 50% are rough coat and 50% are smooth coat. What were the genotypes of the parents?

Answer:

Genotype of  rough coat boar - Rr

Genotype of soft coat sow mate - rr

Explanation:

Rough coat boar must be heterozygous with one dominant allele (R ) and one recessive allele (r )

Genotype of rough coat boar - Rr

Genotype of soft coat sow mate – rr

Now if these two parents are crossed , the offspring produced are represented in the punnet square below –  

R r

r Rr rr

r Rr rr

Thus, 50 % of the offspring’s have rough coat (Rr) and 50 % of the offspring’s have smooth coat.

1. Do a pun-net square.
R r
r
r
2. The offspring would be Rr, rr, Rr, rr
3. 2 of them are heterozygous(Rr),which means they would be most likely rough coats
4. Two of them are homozygous for short hair (rr) which means they are going to be soft hair.
5. Your answer is
Rr, rr

Based on these concepts, choose statements that correlate Mendel's four postulates with what is now known about genes, alleles,
Vikentia [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Mendel four postulate is Principles of Paired Factors, Principle of Dominance, Law of Segregation which is Mendels First Law of Inheritance and Law of Independent Assortment which is Mendel’s Second Law of Inheritance.

The six possible outcome are,

3. Alleles segregate from each other during gamete formation at anaphase I gene assorts independent of each other during gametes formation.

4. Some genes have dominant and recessive alleles. Allele of a gene can either be dominant or recessive in its form

7. Unit factors occur in pairs , allele of a gene occur in pair

Dominant alleles can become codominant alleles during mitosis, when two allele both finds expression in the phenotype of an organism they are codominant

8. One gene pair separates independently from other gene pairs independent assessment of gene.

5. Different gene pairs on nonhomologous chromosomes will separate independently from each other during meiosis.

The ___________________ is the sum total of all alleles in an individual.
Anton [14]

Answer: The correct answer would be gene pool.

Explanation:

Gene pool refers to the sum of all the alleles in an individual.

The allele refers to the alternate forms of the gene.

Large population usually has more genetic diversity as compared to small population. Variation in gene pool is essential for survival of a population.

Sickle-cell anemia is an example of codominance. What implications does this have for people with one or two copies of the sickl
pogonyaev

Answer: B - People with two copies of the mutated gene have sickle-cell anemia. People with one copy of the mutated gene have both healthy and misshapen red blood cells and are carriers of the disease.

Explanation:

Co-dominance is when both the alleles of a gene in a heterozygote show. In the case of sickle cell anemia (since it is a co-dominant trait) even if the person only has one sickle cell allele, symptoms of sickle cell will still show up in that person. That's why the person in this example has both misshapen and healthy red blood cells.

What is the difference from a control group and a control variable?
geniusboy [140]
A control variable is a scientific experiment in which the experimental element is unchanged throughout the experiment

a control group is a group in an experiment that does not receive the treatment by the researchers (untouched by them) and used to see the changes between the controlled group and that of the group that received the vial
