Lab report on lab: mouse genetics (two traits)

Biology

SSSSS [86.1K]3 years ago

Answer:

In this virtual experiment, I bred “pure” mice with known genotypes that exhibited specific fur and eye colors (black fur with black eyes, black fur with red eyes, white fur with black eyes, white fur with red eyes). The purpose of this was to learn how traits are passed on via dominant and recessive genes. Before starting, my hypothesis was that some mice would have recessive genes passed on to them.I bred two mice during each round, both with different genotypes. During this experiment, I learned that two organisms, such as mice, can look similar or the same while having different genotypes. For example, both mice will appear to have black fur and black eyes. Yet, their genotypes are BbEe (the capital letters stand for black fur; the lowercase letters stand for white fur). Hence, it is possible for their litter traits to vary. In one round, I also learned that there can be equal (or approximately equal) possibilities for each mouse in the litter to have specific traits. At one point, I bred a mouse with white fur and red eyes (bbee) with a mouse with black fur and black eyes (BbEe). The predicted fraction for each genotype in the litter was 4/16 for each. Meaning that there is a 25% chance for each genotype, if you were to convert the fractions to percentages.

Another way to test my hypothesis would be to have mice stored in cages for future breeding. And each time they were bred, I could report the statistics of fur and eye color. As I later learned, my hypothesis was not correct. I was wrong because there were a variety of genes passed on, both dominant and recessive. In conclusion, there are wide possibilities when breeding mice whom carry both dominant and recessive traits. I hope this helps!!

I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is the third option. The scientific information that most likely lead to school districts requiring vaccines would be that vaccines prevent diseases and can improve a school’s safety.  Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.

Foodborne pathogens often require the presence of a large number of microbes before an active infection results. These microbes
Dvinal [7]

The virulence of the microbes should be high to cause an active infection.

Explanation:

Virulence is the actual potential or ability of a pathogenic microbe to infect a host. Even with a high median infectious dose to cause an infection, it is the virulence which defines the level of pathogenicity or ability of the pathogens like the foodborne pathogens to cause and active infection.

An active infection is caused when virulence of the pathogen is high. The virulence factors are surface receptors, surface coats, and toxins.

Virulent bacteria cause active infection by adhesion, colonization, invasion, immune response inhibitors, or as toxins. A virulent virus replicates rapidly and modifies the host’s defensive mechanism

How can we observe that the reaction is a heat-absorbing or exothermic reaction?
antiseptic1488 [7]
Heat absorbing (endothermic) reactions have an increased temperature once the reaction occurs. If it is exothermic the temperature of the substance itself decreases and it gives off heat.
