(a)
To determine:
Expected weights in the F1 progeny if genotype AABB is crossed with aabb.
Introduction:
In the given scenario, it is supposed that plant weight is determined by a pair of alleles at each of two independently assorting loci (A and a, B and b) that are additive in their effects. The alleles represented by uppercase letters contribute 4 grams to plant weight, while the alleles represented by lowercase letters contribute 1 gram to plant weight.
(a)

Explanation of Solution
The cross between AABB and aabb is as follows:
F1 (filial 1) generation is AaBb. Its weight can be determined as weight contributed by A + weight contributed by a + weight contributed by B + weight contributed by b (4 + 1 + 4 + 1). So, the plant weight in F1 generation would be 10 grams.
(b)
To determine:
Expected weights in the F2 progeny if genotype AABB is crossed with aabb.
Introduction:
In the given scenario, it is supposed that plant weight is determined by a pair of alleles at each of two independently assorting loci (A and a, B and b) that are additive in their effects. The alleles represented by uppercase letters contribute 4 grams to plant weight, while the alleles represented by lowercase letters contribute 1 gram to plant weight.
(b)

Explanation of Solution
Gametes formed from F1 generation would be AB, Ab, aB, and ab as follows:
F2 generation is produced when F1 generation is inter-crossed and their expected plant weights would be as follows:
Highest plant weight in F2 generation would be of AABB (16 grams) and lowest would be of aabb (4 grams).

- ✓ Details Draw a protein that is embedded in a membrane (a transmembrane protein), label the lipid bilayer and the protein. Identify the areas of the lipid bilayer that are hydrophobic and hydrophilic. Draw a membrane with two transporters: a proton pump transporter that uses ATP to generate a proton gradient, and a second transporter that moves glucose by secondary active transport (cartoon-like is ok). It will be important to show protons moving in the correct direction, and that the transporter that is powered by secondary active transport is logically related to the proton pump.arrow_forwarddrawing chemical structure of ATP. please draw in and label whats asked.
