The given question is incomplete as the genotype of the parents is not given, so the answer is providing in the followings case:

1. dominant parent and recessive parent

2. heterozygous parents

Answer:

1. dominant parent and recessive parent:

dominant parents can be represented by LL and recessive parent is represented by ll, so the gametes would be L, L and l, l.

so,

 L    L

l  Ll   Ll

l  Ll   Ll

so there are all offspring in heterozygous condition as we known one or two dominant allele masks the recessive allele for the trait so 100% offspring can fold their tongue.

2. heterozygous parents

In this case, parents have Ll genotype and gametes would be L and l for each parent so,

    L    l

L   LL  Ll

l    Ll    ll

In this case, one is pure dominant and two heterozygous whereas only one is recessive so, the phenotype of offspring that cant fol the tongue would be:

3/4 = 75%

riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

A) histone coding genes

Explanation:

Histones are the proteins involved in the packing of DNA in eukaryotes. They are positively charged proteins and are not found in bacteria. To analyze the evolutionary relationship in a gene between eukaryotes and bacteria, one must choose the gene present in both of them. The tRNA, rRNA and hexokinase encoding genes are common to both bacteria and eukaryotes. Therefore, one of these genes may be chosen for the study. However, histone encoding genes are not present in the genomes of bacteria. Therefore, the study of the histone encoding gene would not be useful for the mentioned purpose.
