In genetics, the dash symbol (–) is a "wild card" that stands for either the dominant allele or the recessive allele; for exampl

e, A– means the individual has either the genotype AA or Aa. Two genes that undergo independent assortment affect flower color in sweet peas. Each gene as two alleles, one of which is dominant for flower color. Genotypes of the form A– B– have purple flowers, whereas those of the form A– bb, aa B–, and aa bb have white flowers. What ratio of purple : white is expected from the cross Aa Bb × Aa Bb?
Hint: This type of epistasis is known as "duplicate recessive epistasis."

Answer:

Option A, 9:7

Explanation:

Given,

Genotype of A-B- have purple color

A-B-  have genotype AABB, AaBb, AaBB, AABb

While genotype of A– bb, aa B–, and aa bb have white flowers

A– bb have genotype - AAbb, Aabb

aa B– have genotype aaBb, aaBB

Cross between Aa Bb and AaBb will give following offspring

AB         Ab         aB          ab

AB AABB AABb AaBB AaBb

Ab AABb AAbb AaBb Aabb

aB AaBB AaBb aaBB aaBb

ab AaBb AAbb aaBb aabb

So the possible genotypes and their corresponding phenotypes are  

AABB-1 (Purple)

AABb-1 (Purple)

AaBB-3 (Purple)

AaBb -4 (Purple)

AAbb-2 (White)

Aabb-1 (White)

aaBB-1 (White)

aaBb-2 (White)

aabb-1 (White)

Purple : White = 9:7

Hydrogen bonds are part of what important molecules in organisms?
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

Water!

Explanation:

Hydrogen bonds occur due to water molecules being polar (which results from the uneven distribution of their electrons), thus causing come charge to be remaining in the Oxygen and Hydrogens in water molecules. This causes Oxygens and Hydrogens from <em>different</em> water molecules to attract each other as well! Most importantly, however, hydrogen bonds allow water molecules to have its cohesive properties, which allows it to do many of things water is essential for. Hint: capillary action.

Hope it helped! :)

nydimaria [60]
Spontaneous miscarriage in the first trimester is related to Chromosomal defects in the fetus. An estimated 15 to 20 percent of known pregnancies end in miscarriage, the loss of a pregnancy before the 20th week. Upto 70 percent of first-trimester miscarriages, and 20 percent of second-trimester miscarriages, are caused by chromosomal anomalies/abnormalities in the fertilized egg. Most often, it means that the egg or sperm had wrong number of chromosomes, and consequently the fertilized egg can't develop normally.

natulia [17]

Answer:

Air travel is usually the largest component of the carbon footprint of frequent flyers. A single return flight from London to New York – including the complicated effects on the high atmosphere – contributes to almost a quarter of the average person’s annual emissions. The easiest way to make a big difference is to go by train or not take as many flights.

2 The second most important lifestyle change is to eat less meat, with particular emphasis on meals containing beef and lamb. Cows and sheep emit large quantities of methane, a powerful global warming gas. A vegan diet might make as much as a 20% difference to your overall carbon impact but simply cutting out beef will deliver a significant benefit on its own.

Brut [27]

Answer:

The primary function of glucose molecules is to provide energy for cell activities.

Explanation:

Glucose can best be described as carbohydrate which serves best as a primary fuel. Our body cells carry out a wide number of metabolic as well as biological functions.  Glucose serves as the main energy derivation molecule for the accomplishment of these biological and metabolic functions. Every cell present in the body acquires the capability of using glucose as energy molecule.

Glucose is broken down by complex biological reactions into ATP which is the energy source for many cellular activities.
