Figure 10.7 Why was Dolly a Finn-Dorset and not a Scottish Blackface sheep?
Expert Solution & Answer
Summary Introduction
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.
Conclusion
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_forwardprepare a comic strip of 4-6 plates about the different Non-Mendelian Inheritance.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

(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_forward
