Chapter 19, Problem 2CT

Still referring to Problem 1, what will be the possible genotypes of offspring from the following matings? With what frequency will each genotype show up?

  1. a. AABB × aaBB
  2. b. AaBB × AABb
  3. c. AaBb × aabb
  4. d. AaBb × AaBb

Summary Introduction

To predict: The predicted genotype frequencies among the offspring for the mating AABB × aaBB.

Introduction: The law of independent assortment and law of segregation are the laws proposed by Gregor Johann Mendel, a geneticist. Mendel proposed the law of independent assortment based on the results of monohybrid cross that “two alleles at any locus tend to separate from each other during meiosis, so they end up in different gametes”. Mendel proposed the law of independent assortment based on the results of dihybrid cross that “alleles at one locus tend to assort into gametes independently of alleles at other loci”. The number of possible allele combination for the given genotype is given by the formula 2n where “n” is the number of heterozygous alleles that are present.

Explanation of Solution

A monohybrid cross is constructed with Punnett square for the parents having the genotype AABB and aaBB.

Conclusion

All the offspring have the same genotype AaBB. Therefore, there is no genotype frequency.

Conclusion

The following is the frequency of genotypes.

Total number of possible genotypes = 4.

AABB=14

AABb=14

AaBB=14

AaBb =14

14×100=25%

The frequency of all four genotypes is 25%.

Build a model of a prokaryotic cell using any material of your choice. In your model be sure to include all the structures appropriate to your cell. You may model a bacterial cell or an archaea. You will model at least 4 structures in any model. Next, build a model of a virus using the same type of materials. You may choose any type of virus but be sure you can illustrate the key features of a virus (head shape for example). Once complete, take multiple photographs of your models from all angles. Include these images in a document that also contains the following completed table format. You may need to add rows to your table depending on the type of prokaryote you model. Structure Model Key Found in Different in Function Virus Virus Once your model is complete, write a brief description of your cell and your virus. Emphasize features that are absent in viruses that classify them as non-living. You can refer to specific structures in your table in this explanation. Some suggestions for…
(This is a 2-part work, Part 1 is done, only Part 2 is to be worked on at the bottom)Part 1 (Done): Describe the levels of structural hierarchy for the human body, starting with the organismal level and ending with the chemical level. In addition, you should make sure you link each level to the previous level, emphasizing the structural relationships. The human body is organized into a structural hierarchy that progresses from the macroscopic organismal level down to the microscopic chemical level. Each level builds upon the previous one, creating increasingly complex structures. Below is the hierarchy, from largest to smallest, with explanations linking each level to its predecessor:   1. Organismal Level The entire living human body.Relationship: All lower levels work together to sustain life at this highest level.   2. Organ System Level Groups of organs working together to perform major functions.Examples: circulatory, nervous, digestive systems.Relationship: The organismal…
