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>

Answer:

1. Greenhouse gas -  Without greenhouse gases, the Earth would be a frozen planet.

2. Increase of oxygen - The increase of oxygen caused a cooling event.

3. Asteroid impacts  - Asteroid impacts caused climate catastrophes

4. Tectonic plates - Tectonic plates can warm or cool the planet

5. Cloud covering- Cloud cover complicates global warming

Explanation:

Explanations;

1. In the greenhouse effect, gases in the Earth’s atmosphere (such as carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide) trap infra-red radiation from the Earth that would otherwise be radiated to space. Thanks to this natural process, the Earth’s surface has an average temperature of 15°C w1. Without these gases, our planet would be an icy -18°C, and life as we know it would not be possible.

2. Some 2.5 billion years ago, there was no oxygen in the Earth’s atmosphere. Although the Sun was less bright back then, our planet was habitable partly because the atmospheric concentration of methane was 1000 times greater than it is now. All this changed, however, with the Great Oxygenation Event, which was triggered by the presence of blue-green algaew5. These microscopic organisms had evolved to carry out photosynthesis, and they produced oxygen as a waste product.

3. Around 66 million years ago, the 10 km diameter Chicxulub asteroid collided with the Earth, resulting in the demise of the dinosaursw7. The impact threw dust into the stratosphere, which is thought to have blocked out 50% of the sunlight reaching the Earth. This would have compromised photosynthesis and led to the collapse of food chains. It would also have resulted in a dramatic fall in global temperatures, plunging the Earth into an ‘impact winter’ that would persist for a decade.

4. The Himalayan mountain range – formed as a result of the collision between the Indian and Eurasian tectonic plates – is a prime example of how plate tectonics can have an impact on climate. Over the past 50 million years, the slow uplift of the Himalayas has exposed new rock to chemical weathering. In this process, carbon dioxide from the atmosphere binds to certain minerals in the rock, reducing the amount of atmospheric carbon dioxide and cooling the planet.

5. Clouds have important consequences for the Earth’s climate. Low, thick clouds cool the Earth’s surface, while high, thin clouds warm the climate. Key to the formation of clouds are aerosols – tiny particles that are suspended in the atmosphere. They act as tiny ‘seeds’ on which water vapour condensesw10. Aerosols are much more than simply what you find in a hairspray can. They can be natural (such as dust or sea salt) or anthropogenic (such as pollutants or smoke). An increase in anthropogenic aerosols could therefore result in more cloud formation, which (depending on the cloud height) could potentially offset the full extent of global warming.

Just ask for more explanation, hope this helps.

Which is an example of discrete data?
makvit [3.9K]

Answer: The number of students in a class

The number of workersin a company

ect...

Explanation: Discrete data is Information that can be categorized into a classification. Discrete data is based on counts. Only a finite number of values is possible, and the values cannot be subdivided meaningfully. For example, the number of parts damaged in shipment.

Which best describes the process of peer review
777dan777 [17]

Answer:

Peer review refers to a process of evaluation which is designed to validate and assess the originality and quality of academic work.

Explanation:

In Academia, the revision of an academic work (<em>e.g</em>. a research article), or peer review, is fundamental to determine its originality and ensure good quality for publishing purposes.

  • This process starts when an author submits a research paper to a journal to publish it.
  • If all the requirements of the particular journal (each journal has different requirements and specifications) are met, the Editor sends it to experts on the particular area of study to assess it.
  • If all experts agree on the quality of the paper, they send a report back to the Editor, who decides whether the article should be<em> rejected, revised</em>, or <em>accepted</em>.
  • Authors then check the report and edit it appropriately (if accepted).
  • Whether if it is accepted or rejected, the Editor must communicate the decision to the authors of the paper.
