to experiment with gene-edited mosquitos to reduce the spread of malaria

Explanation:

CRISPR has been used to experiment with gene-edited mosquitos to reduce the spread of malaria, for engineering agriculture to withstand climate change, and in human clinical trials to treat a range of diseases, from cancer to transthyretin amyloidosis, a rare protein disorder that devastates nerves and organs.

In genetic complementation testing, crosses are performed between pure-breeding strains for recessive mutations that confer the
Advocard [28]

Answer:

All of the F1 progeny would be wild-type.

If the two mutations are in different genes, then we expect complementation to occur (each mutant strain provides a functional copy of the gene that is defective in the other strain) and wild-type progeny to be produced

ProblemAssume that long fingers are inherited as a recessive trait with 80% penetrance. Two people heterozygous for long fingers
Natalka [10]

Answer:

The probability that their first child will have long fingers is 20%  

Explanation:

<u>Available data</u>:

  • long fingers are inherited with 80% penetrance
  • L represents the dominant allele for short fingers
  • l represents the recessive allele for long fingers

Cross) Two people heterozygous for long fingers mate

                            Ll          x         Ll

Gametes)    1/2 L    1/2l         1/2L    1/2l

Punnet Square)  

                               L         l

                     L      LL      Ll

                       l     Ll       ll

F1) 25% or 1/4 LL

     50% or 1/2 Ll

     25% or 1/4 ll

Long fingers are inherited with 80% penetrance, which means that 80% is the proportion of the population that expresses the phenotype long fingers. Hence, the probability that the first child in this cross will have long fingers is:

100% ------- 80%

25% -------- X = 20%

What is the phenotypic ratio of the offspring when a man who has type A blood, and whose mother had type O blood, marries a woma
Vladimir [108]

Answer:

The correct answer is - 2 type A : 1 type AB : 1 type B

Explanation:

The pattern of the inheritance in the ABO blood group system is the example of the multiple alleles and codominance. There are three alleles in this sytem that determines what blood group would be in an indvidual that are; IA, IB, and IO. The allele IO is a recessive allele to both IA, and IB alleles whereas IA and IB are show codominance when present in heterzygous condition.

Genotype of a person with “A” blood group can be IA IO  or IA IA but as it is given that the mother of the male with A bglood group is O blood group which means there must be a IO allele would be present in the male too so the genotype would be IAIO.

The genotype of AB blood group mother would be IAIB as shows codominance. so the cross between these woulde be as follows:

IA IO  x IA IB

Gametes :

IA  IO , and IA  IB

  IA       IO

IA    IAIA    IAIO

IB    IAIB    IBIO

phenotypic ratio = 2 A group : 1 AB group : 1 B group
