Magical ability is a dominant trait controlled by two loci. To be able to perform magic, a person would need to carry at least o

n copy of the dominant allele on each of the two loci. Hermione Granger has magical ability but neither one of her parents does. Which of the following are possible genotypes for Hermione Granger’s parents?
a. AAbb x Abb
b. aaBb x AAbb
c. aaBb x aaBB
d. AaBb x AaBb
e. None of the above

Answer:

b. aaBb x AAbb

Explanation:

According to the information in this question, the trait for magic ability is controlled by two genes, each comprising of two alleles i.e. A,a and B,b. However, to be able to perform magic, a person would need to carry at least one copy of the dominant allele (A and B) on each of the two loci.

Hermione Granger has magical ability but neither one of her parents does. This means that although Hermione can perform magic, none of her parents can. Genetically, it means that Hermione posseses at least one copy of the dominant allele on each of the two loci i.e. her genotype is A_B_.

This is only possible in Hermione if her parents transferred a dominant allele at each loci to her. This means that the possible genotypes for Hermione Granger’s parents are aaBb (no magical ability) x AAbb (no magical ability). See the punnet square attached where the probability of producing offsprings with magical ability is 1/2 or 50%.

what is the meaning of phosphoryl transfer potential and what does it mean to have a high or low phosphoryl transfer potential?
makvit [3.9K]

Phosphoryl-transfer potential is the ability of an organic molecule to transfer its terminal phosphoryl group to water which is an acceptor molecule. It is the “standard free energy of hydrolysis”.

Explanation:

This potential plays a key role during cellular energy transformation by energy coupling during ATP hydrolysis.  

A compound with a high phosphoryl-transfer potential has the increased ability to couple the carbon oxidation with ATP synthesis and can accelerate cellular energy transformation.  

A compound with a high phosphoryl-transfer potential can readily donate its terminal phosphate group; whereas, a compound with a low has a lesser ability to donate its phosphate group.

ATP molecules have a high phosphoryl transfer potential due to its structure, resonance stabilization, high entropy, electrostatic repulsion and stabilization by hydration. Compounds like creatine phosphate, phosphoenolpyruvate also have high phosphoryl-transfer potential.
