Everyone in Smurfette’s family has light blue skin, which is the dominant trait for body color in her hometown of Smurf Valley.

Her family brags that they are a "true bred" or "purebred" line. She recently married a nice boy who has light yellow skin, which is a recessive trait. Create a Punnett square to show the possibilities that would result if Smurfette and her new husband had children.

Answer:

All their descendants will be heterozygous for the skin color, Bb, expressing blue skin.

Explanation:

<u>Available data</u>:

  • Smurfette has light blue skin
  • Her family is a "true bred" or "purebred" line.
  • She married a boy who has light yellow skin
  • blue skin is the dominant trait expressed by the B allele
  • yellow skin is a recessive trait, expressed by the b allele

Cross: Smurfette  x  Husband

Parentals)            BB     x     bb

Gametes)          B   B       b     b

Phenotypes) blue skin     yellow skin

Punnett square)

                       B        B

             b      Bb      Bb

             b      Bb      Bb

F1) 100% of the progeny will be heterozygous for the skin color, Bb

     100% of the progeny will be blue-skinned.

Note: Although the progeny is blue-skinned, they are not true-bred anymore.

Epigenetics may be defined as changes in the expression of a gene or set of genes by _______ and _______.
nataly862011 [7]

Epigenetics is the study of how DNA methylation and alterations to chromosomal proteins affect a gene or group of genes express themselves. For changes in a gene's expression, both of these are need.

In a biological process called DNA methylation, methyl groups are added to the DNA molecule. A DNA segment's activity can be altered by methylation without the sequence changing. DNA methylation usually inhibits transcription of genes when it occurs in a gene promoter.

Epigenetics literally translates to "along with changes in genetic sequence." Any procedure that modifies gene activity without altering DNA sequence and results in modifications that can be passed on to daughter cells is now included in the term. Is called Epigenetics.

Pls help fizzly me confused and ill give you a briliant thingy
Alex73 [517]

Answer:

One difference between these cells is plant cell has chloroplast but animal cell does not have chloroplast.

Another difference between these is that plant cell has cell wall but animal cell does not have cell wall.

Explanation:

Plant cell are known to cells that possess chloroplast. These chloroplast contain chlorophyll which enables the plants to manufacture their own food. Animal cell does not possess chloroplast which makes it impossible for animals to manufacture their own food.

Plant cell actually have cell wall and a cell membrane but animal cell does not have cell wall but only possesses cell membrane. The cell wall gives mechanical strength and maintains cell shape.
