Figure 10.7 Why was Dolly a Finn-Dorset and not a Scottish Blackface sheep?
To determine:
Dolly is a Fin-Dorset, not a Scottish Blackface sheep.
Introduction:
Dolly was the first recombinant cloned sheep that was produced by transferring the genetic material from somatic cells of a Fin-Dorset sheep into the egg cells of a Scottish Blackfire sheep.
Explanation of Solution
The genetic material is responsible for the characteristics or phenotype of an organism. The proteins are translated from the genetic material, which ensures the pleasures expressed in it. Since, the genetic material in Dolly sheep was from a Finn-Dorset it has its characteristics. The Scottish Blackface sheep only provided an empty egg cell and its uterus as a surrogate mother.
The genetic material in Dolly sheep came from a Finn-Dorset and therefore, it has the characteristics of Finn-Dorset and not Scottish Blackface sheep.

- Figure 17.8 Do you think Dolly was a Finn-Dorset or a Scottish Blackface sheep?arrow_forwardWhat do you mean by “Out – breeding”. What are the different methods employed for out breeding.arrow_forwardA plant breeder found a species of flowering plant with very attractive flowers growing wild in a field and she thought it would appeal to her customers. Some of the plants of this species had red flowers, some white flowers, and some pink flowers. While she would like to be able to offer her customers all three colors of flowers, she only has permission from the landowner to dig up one plant to bring back to the nursery as breeding stock. What would be the best thing for her to do? Top of Form Take a white flowering plant since the white allele could be masking the pink allelle. Take a pink flowering plant since it is likely to carry both the red and white alleles. Take a red flowering plant since it could produce all three colors eventually. Take a red flowering plant since the red allele is likely the dominant one.arrow_forward
- Pea plants were a good model organism for Mendel because A -they had large flowers and were easy to manipulate b -there were many contrasting traits c -both a and b d- none of the abovearrow_forwardWhich genotype(s) correspond to a drake with wings, no arms, and no legs? Select all the correct answers. For this question I got a 0.5/1 i'm not sure what I did wrong here .arrow_forwardAlbinism occupied a special place in the Hopi culture; individuals who possessed this trait were valued by members of the tribe. What are some examples of genetic traits that, in contrast, sometimes result in discrimination and prejudice?arrow_forward
- Which genotype(s) correspond to a drake with wings, no arms, and no legs? Select all the correct answers. Select 2 correct answer(s)arrow_forwardWhat is the major difference between these two sheeps; Dolly and Tracy?arrow_forwardFrom the 1700s to the early 1950s there was an unusually high percentage of deaf people on the island of Martha’s Vineyard off the coast of Massachusetts, USA.Deafness was a recessive hereditary trait, and there was a very small population of people living on the island. This meant that almost everyone had both deaf and hearing siblings. In the mid-1850s, the frequency of deaf people on the island was well over 30% higher than the U.S. national average.The high frequency of deaf individuals on the island of Martha’s Vineyard is best explained by Select one: a. genetic drift b. founder effect c. non-random mating d. bottleneck effectarrow_forward
- Why was the garden pea a good choice as an experimental organism in Mendel’s work?arrow_forwardYou are working with a new species of spider in the lab. Wild type spiders have black legs and long mandibles. Mutants have black/brown striped legs and short mandibles. You perform a cross between wild type and mutant spiders. Your results : 5,502 wild type; 5,877 mutant; 69 black/brown striped, long mandibles; 52 black, short mandibles. What information does the recombination frequency tell you about the traits? (You will need to solve the RF first if you haven't done so in the other problem.) * A. Crossing over occurs frequently between the two traits. B. They are unlinked genes. C. They are located on separate chromosomes D. They are located very close together on the same chromosome.arrow_forwardFrieda breeds her black rooster with Elsie’s white hen. The offspring are all evenly speckled black and white. Elsie keeps all the chicks and adds them to her flock of white chickens. “I want to breed chickens that look like Dalmation dogs: mostly white, but with some black speckles,” says Elsie. Will Elsie be able to do this? Use Punnett squares to explain your answer.arrow_forward
