Explain about genotype-by-environment interaction variance ?
Briefly describe the assigned trait/disorder. Then, determine the genotype frequency, and allele frequency no. of individuals for each genotype, no. of phenotype for each phenotype (assume Mendelian mode of inheritance) Given the following: N=2348 and q2=0.64; Consider congenital ptosis.
Mendel's second postulate states: When two
different unit factors responsible for a
characteristic are found in the same organism,
one will dominate and determine the
characteristic type. Explain this postulate using
modern genetic terms. Be sure to include the
following terms in your explanation: dominant,
recessive, allele, phenotype, genotype.

Hence a mutual ratio of 2.84:1. In this experiment the dwarfed plants were carefully lifted and transferred to a special bed. This precaution was necessary, as otherwise they would have perished through being overgrown by their tall relatives. Even in their quite young state they can be easily picked out by their compact growth and thick dark–green foliage."

Give a molecular explanation for dominance, i.e. explain intracellular molecular events that can result in what we observe as dominance on a phenotypic level. Use the gene that encodes seed shape in peas as an example, where roun(R) is dominant over wrinkled(r), to explain how RR and Rr plants can have the same phenotype.arrow_forwardExplain why most loss-of-function alleles (hypomorphic or amorphic) are recessive to wild-type alleles, but some are incompletely dominant or dominant.arrow_forward
