Many species of plants provide an excellent example of epistasis, where multiple genes can control the phenotype. In the case of

corn, there is a gene that controls color. The kernels can either be blue (B) or red (b). A different gene determines whether or not that color will actually appear in the kernel. The dominant allele (A) inhibits color, meaning the kernels will be white, while the recessive allele (a) allows color (either red or blue). If a plant that is heterozygous for both traits is self crossed, what will the resulting phenotypic ratios of the F1 generation be

In cases of double epistasis, the dominant allele of one of the involved genes inhibits the expression of the other gene. <em>The </em><em>phenotypic ratio</em><em> of the </em><em>offspring</em><em> in the </em><em>F1 generation</em><em> is </em><em>12:3:1.</em>

<h3><u>Available data</u></h3>

<u />

- Two genes are involved in color expression

- One of the genes controls the color

  • The dominant allele B codes for blue kernels
  • The recessive allele b codes for red kernels

- The other gene determines whether or not that color will actually appear

  • The dominant allele A inhibits the color ⇒ kernels are white
  • The recessive allele a allows the color expression

Since the dominant allele A is the one that inhibits the expression of the color, we can assume it is <u><em>dominant epistasis.</em></u>

<h3>What is dominant epistasis?</h3>

  • When talking about epistasis, we are referring to an interruption.

  • These are interactions between genes located in different loci in the same chromosome.

  • An epistatic gene can alter, influence, or suppress the expression of a hypostatic gene.

  • When the epistatic gene is dominant, the interaction is known as dominant epistasis.

  • In dominant epistasis cases, the dominant epistatic allele inhibits the expression of the hypostatic gene.

  • Observing the altered phenotype proportions of the offspring can reveal which interaction is operating in the trait determination.

  • The ratio 12:3:1 belongs to dominant epistasis.

Now, let us perform the cross.

Cross: a plant that is heterozygous for both traits is self crossed

Parentals)         AaBb       x       AaBb

Gametes) AB, Ab, aB, ab    AB, Ab, aB, ab

Punnett square)       AB         Ab         aB         ab

                       AB   AABB   AABb    AaBB     AaBb

                       Ab   AABb    AAbb    AaBb     Aabb

                       aB    AaBB    Aabb    aaBB     aaBb

                       ab    AaBB    Aabb     aaBb     aabb

F1)   Genotypes

  • 1/16 AABB
  • 2/16 AABb
  • 1/16 AAbb
  • 2/16 AaBB
  • 4/16 AaBb
  • 2/16 Aabb
  • 1/16 aaBB
  • 2/16 aaBb
  • 1/16 aabb

       Phenotypes

  • 12/16 White kernels ⇒ AABB, AABb, AAbb, AaBB, AaBb, Aabb
  • 3/16 Blue Kernels ⇒ aaBB, aaBb
  • 1/16 Red kernels ⇒ aabb

The phenotypic ratio of the progeny is 12:3:1 → <em>12 white, 3 blue, 1 red. </em>

What is the difference between a theory and a scientific fact?
seraphim [82]
Scientist, a fact is something that can be tested by anyone with the proper skill and equipment, and that repeatedly and reliably gives the same result every time. A scientific theory is a body of knowledge based on facts that describes their interaction in the simplest possible way

"cell structures is the permeability layer that lets only a selective number and type of molecules into the cell?"
Montano1993 [528]

Answer: Cell membrane

Explanation:

The cell membrane has the ability to transfer the molecules from the exterior of the cell to the interior of the cell.

The cell membrane is semi permeable which means only selected molecules will pass through the cell membrane.

The molecules and substances that are synthesized inside the cell needs to be transported from inside to outside via cell membrane.

If the resulting F1 rabbits are crossed, what proportion of the F2 offspring will have the Himalayan phenotype and what causes t
iren2701 [21]

Answer:

3/4; temperature

Explanation:

When animal are crossed to produce a different hybrid having the features or characteristics of both the two crossed animal, a hybrid offspring is produced. The hybrid offspring have all the qualities and characteristics of the parents.

When a parental cross is done between rabbit with albino rabbit, having genotype cc and with Himalayan phenotype that have a genotype of chch, it results in the production of F1 rabbits having all the Himalayan phenotype.

And if the F1 rabbits are now crossed, three-fourth of the F2 offspring have the Himalayan phenotype. The distinctive fur pattern and the unstable allele of hypomorphic ch is caused by the temperature of the surrounding.
