Answer:

The correct option is <em>C. Non-genetic factors can influence expression.</em>

Explanation:

Non- genetic factors can be described as factors other than genetic makeup. These factors include environmental factors and factors arising from the lifestyle of an organism.

Certain studies have shown that both the genetic as well as the non- genetic factors play a role in the development of certain characteristics.

In the above-mentioned scenario, both the monozygotic twins have diabetes but one of them is affected 70% of the time due to his lifestyle. The person might be consuming more sugars and alcohol.

How do plants obtain energy and food
erma4kov [3.2K]
Plants obtain energy through a process called Photosynthesis, in which the plant takes the suns's energy through the Chlorophyll, which is what makes plants green, and uses it to make sugars out of the carbon dioxide from the air and water. 

Hope this helps, and have a nice day!

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.
