Zebrafish (Danio rerio) is an important model organism in the field of genetics. One of the first mutant genes to be studied in

this species was golden. The mutant allele was discovered in a pigmentation mutant purchased from a pet store, which changed the color of the fish from the wild-type silver-white coloration to a pale golden color. Calculate the percent likelihood of golden offspring from a cross between a heterozygous wild-type male fish to a golden female fish a 0% b 50% c 25% d 100%

Answer:

b

Explanation:

<em>Let the wild type trait, the silver-white, be represented by </em><em>A</em><em> allele and the mutant trait, the golden color, be represented by </em><em>a</em><em> allele.</em>

Heterozygous wild-type male fish would be Aa

Golden female fish would be aa

     Aa    x    aa

  Aa   Aa    aa    aa

2/4 Aa = silver-white

2/4 aa = golden color

<em>Hence, the percent likelihood of golden offspring is </em><em>2/4 or 50%.</em>

The correct option is b.

Hi, 

I think the answer you're looking for is already in the question you submitted. However, I disagree that a frameshift could result from the mutation because frameshifts would only happen if there were insertions or deletions in the sequence. For your question, this is an example of a simple point mutation/nucleotide base substitution, and would only result to either a missense or a nonsense mutation. Depending on the bases flanking your mutation, this results to transcribing a different sequence of RNA leading to translating either a different amino acid or a stop codon.

What is reason for meiosis
aalyn [17]
Meiosis. Chromosome abnormalities usually happen as a result of an error in cell division. Meiosis is the name used to describe the cell division that the egg and sperm undergo when they are developing. Normally, meiosis causes a halving of chromosome material, so that each parent gives 23 chromosomes to a pregnancy.

Which of these is an example of quantitative data collection?
aivan3 [116]
I would say A. Quantitative data involves numbers and stuff like that. Unlike qualitative data, which involves pictures and not numerical data. I hope this helped.
