B B Bb | Bb | Bb | Bb | b b All (Bb) heterozygous genotypes are expressing the phenotype of black eyes. If we do another cross for F2 generation we will find 2 heterozygous black eyes, 1 homozygous black eye and 1 homozygous brown eye among the offspring. The punnet square is as follows: B b BB | Bb | Bb | bb | B b The genotypic ratio is – 1(BB):2(Bb):1(bb). The phenotypic ratio is – 3:1. DROSOPHILIA MELANOGASTER AS A MODEL FOR STUDYING GENETICS Drosophila melanogaster also known as the fruit fly is used commonly in the study of genetics.
An example would be a cross between two plants with two characters, R and Y. If their genotypes are RRYY and rryy, R can be paired with Y or r and y can be paired with R or Y. 5. What is meant by the terms allele and locus? Make sure to mention homologous chromosomes in your answer.
The crossing in the F2 generation of the heterozygous male and heterozygous female produced two heterozygous offspring, one homozygous recessive offspring and one homozygous dominant offspring. Discussion This experiment was conducted by using aldehyde oxidase (AO) to genetically characterize the aldox gene. It was hypothesized that the gene
1) Monocots are shorts for “Monocotyledons” which means plants whose embryo has one cotyledon; whereas, Eudicots (Eudicotyledons) carry embryo with 2 cotyledons. The cotyledons of eudicots supply nutrients for seedlings, but the cotyledons of monocots store some nutrients and act as a transfer tissue for nutrients stored elsewhere. Five key features are typically used to distinguish monocots from eudicots; a seed, arrangement of vascular tissue in roots, stems, and leaves, and number of flower parts. The seed has the reproductive structures that are protected from drying out, have male and female gametophytes which are reduced in size. In young dicot stems and stems (usually the upright, vertical portion of a plant transports substances to and the leaves) that do not increase in thickness, xylem and phloem are arranged in vascular bundles in the cortex.
bb x bb e. BB x bb 29. To determine whether an unknown black guinea pig is pure or hybrid black, it should be crossed with a. a white b. a hybrid black c. a hybrid white d. a pure black e. another unknown 30. Organisms that have two identical alleles for a particular trait are said to be a. hybrid b. homozygous c. heterozygous d. dominant 31. A pea plant heterozygous for height and seed color (TtYy) is crossed with a pea plant heterozygous for height but homozygous recessive for seed color (Ttyy). If 80 offspring are produced, how many are expected to be tall and have yellow seeds?
After meiosis the cells then undergo one round of mitotic division which gives rise to a total of eight haploid ascospores. Although S. fimicola is self fertile they can be crossed. It is the sexual phase where two haploid strains can fuse to form diploid zygotes (Mertens, 2001). These diploid zygotes are encased in the ascus. If two mycelia meet the two haploid nuclei can fuse to form a heterozygous diploid.
Mendel’s Laws Explain each of Mendel’s Laws and explain the experiments he used to determine these laws. 1) Law of segregation of characters (alleles) When meiosis occurs, each of the pairs of alleles is separated and end up in different cells. Each gamete only receives one copy. 2) Law of independent assortment (of alleles) Each pair of alleles separate randomly. As long as alleles are on different chromosomes they will assort into the gametes independently of each other.
Not appreciated until the early 1900’s, 16 years after his death. B. Experimented with peas between the years 1856-1863, creating Mendel's Laws of Inheritance. II. Common Genetically Modified Plants A. Tomatoes, the first genetically modified food commercially available in U.S. B.
1.What is the Law of Segregation? The Law of Segregation is members of a pair of homologous chromosomes separate during the formation of gametes. 2. What is the Law of Independent Assortment? The Law of Independent Assortment is each member of a pair of homologous chromosomes separated by itself.
At the age of four, the family moved to Basel. When he was six years old, Carl went to the village school in Klein-Huningen. His father also started teaching him Latin at this time.Jung observed his parents and teachers and tried to understand their behavior, especially that of his father. As Jung grew older, his keen interest in a large variety of sciences, and the history of religion made the choice of a career quite difficult. Before deciding to pursue medicine Jung studied biology,zoology,paleontology and archaeology.
