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

receptors that are _____ bind to chemicals outside of the cell, and this binding process causes a chemical response on the insid
Anettt [7]


Receptors that are embedded on the cell membrane bind to chemicals outside of the cell and this binding process cause a chemical response on the inside of the cell.

These receptors that  help in  communication between the cell and the outside world are called cell surface receptors or sometimes transmembrane receptors.

A majority of chemical signals are water soluble thus unable to cross the fatty lipid bi-layer of the cell membrane. Their receptors, which are protein in nature  therefore must span the membrane, detect their presence outside of the cell and transmit this information into the interior of the cell.
