Examine a two-gene cross that follows simple Mendelian inheritance of freckles and eyebrow shape between a woman with genotype M

mpp and a man with genotype mmpp. How many phenotypes are possible in their offspring and in what ratio?
a. 4 phenotypes: 9:3:3:1
b. 2 phenotypes; 1:1
c. 3 phenotypes; 8:4:4
d. 3 phenotypes; 1:2:1

Answer:

b

Explanation:

First, let us look at the result of crossing the two genotypes Mmpp and mmpp.

Mmpp will give the gametes Mp, Mp, mp, and mp

mmpp will give the gametes mp, mp, mp, and mp

The two sets of gametes can thus be lined up on both axis of the Punnet's square as shown in the attached image.

Genotypes of the offspring: 8 Mmpp and 8 mmpp

<u>Since the two genes follow simple Mendelian inheritance pattern, the 2 genotypes automatically equates to 2 phenotypes in the ratio 1:1.</u>

<em>Hence, the correct option is </em><em>b</em><em>.</em>

A single strand of DNA helix consists of 100 nitrogenous base pairs. On one strand, 36 of the bases are adenine and 24 are cytos
Katena32 [7]
Hello!

For the complementary strand of DNA, 36 Thymine bases and 24 Guanine bases would complete the proper base pairing. 

This is given by the concept of complementarity. A base in DNA has complementarity with only one other base. This complementarity is produced by hydrogen bond interactions.

For DNA, Adenine couples with Thymine and Cytosine couples with Guanine. So the 36 adenine bases will couple with 35 thymine bases, and so on. 

Have a nice day!
