Genes are segments of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) that contain the code for a specific protein that functions in one or more types of cells in the body. Chromosomes are structures within cells that contain a person's genes. Genes are contained in chromosomes, which are in the cell nucleus.

A new human species was found on a distant planet, whose genetic inheritance and process of reproduction is identical to that of
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

  1. E/e ; T/t  ⇒ Square eyes and long tail (Option D)
  2. 3/16 will have round eyes and long tails (Option C)
  3. 1/4 of the progeny will be heterozygous for both traits (Option A)

Explanation:

<u>Available data</u>:

  • Two diallelic unlinked genes
  • Gene E controls eye shape: Dominant allele E expresses square eyes, and recessive allele e expresses round eyes.
  • Gene T controls the tail size. Dominant allele T expresses long trail, and recessive allele t expresses short tail.

<u>Genotypes                                          Phenotypes</u>

EETT, EeTT, EETt, EeTt                     Square eyes and Long tail

eeTT, eeTt                                          Round eyes and Long tail

EEtt, Eett                                             Square eyes and Short tail

eett                                                      Rounf eyes and short tail.

<em>1. An individual of this new species is heterozygous for gene E and heterozygous for gene T. What is their genotype and phenotype?</em>

The heterozygous individual is E/e ; T/t, expressing square eyes and a long tail.

<em>2. Two individuals, who are both heterozygous for eye shape and tail size, mate. Which of the following is a correct statement about the phenotype ratios expected for their offspring?</em>

Cross: between two heterozygous individuals

Parentals) EeTt    x     EeTt

Gametes) ET, Et, eT, et

                ET, Et, eT, et

Punnett square)  .   ET        Et        eT       et

                  ET     EETT    EETt    EeTT    EeTt

                  Et      EETt     EEtt     EeTt      Eett

                  eT    EeTT    EeTt    eeTT     eeTt

                   et     EeTt      Eett     eeTt      eett

F1) Genotype:

  • 1/16 EETT
  • 2/16 EETt
  • 1/16 EEtt
  • 2/16 EeTT
  • 4/16 EeTt ⇒ 1/4 EeTt
  • 2/16 Eett
  • 1/16 eeTT
  • 2/16 eeTt
  • 1/16 eett

      Phenotype

  • 9/16 E-T-, Square eyes and Long tails
  • 3/16 E-tt, Square eyes and short tails
  • 3/16 eeT-, Round eyes and Long tails
  • 1/16 eett, round eyes and short tail

Phenotypic ratio 9:3:3:1

<em>3. From the mating described in question ABOVE, what proportion of ALL of the offspring in will be heterozygous for both traits?</em>

4/16 = 1/4 = 25% of the progeny are expected to be heterozygous for both traits, EeTt.

Which statement best describes the phases of the Moon?
Deffense [45]

Answer:

During the waning phase of the Moon, less of the Moon's near side is lít each night

Explanation:

Phases of the moon are different ways the moon appear on the Earth. As moon orbit the Earth, half of the moon that faces the Earth will be lit up. There are different phases of moon which are full moon, quarter moon, waning crescent moon, waning gibbous moon, e.t.c.

A waxing crescent moon is when the moon look like crescent and it increases in size.

A waning gibbous moon occurs when more than half of the lit portion of the Moon can be seen and the shape reduce in size . It occur between the full and quarter moon.

On a molecular level, explain what happens when a kite lifts into the air?
NeTakaya

The difference in air pressure which is created by the molecules in air help to move kite up into the air.

<u>Explanation:</u>

When air moves faster, pressure of air becomes less. Air moves at a faster speed above the kite than below it and so its pressure is less on top of kite. The air pressure below kite is less. This difference in pressure results in uplifting of kite. Molecules of air with high pressure exerts more force on kite from bottom and thus pushing it up in air.

The greater is the difference between air pressure above kite and air pressure below kite, greater is the amount of force exerted on kite and hence, it reaches a greater height.
