Huntington’s disease is an autosomal dominant affection. Parental's genotype FF and ff. Cross: FF x ff. F1) 100% Ff, heterozygous individuals (Option D).

Huntington's disease is caused by a mutation in the gene that codifies the Huntington protein (Htt).

The mutation produces an altered form of the protein leading to the neuron death in certain brain areas.

Huntington's disease characterizes for being,

Question number 5

To produce only individuals with the genotype Ff, the parentals genotypes must be homozygous dominant and recessive. This is,

Cross: The cross is done between one homozygous recessive and one homozygous dominant individual

Parentals)  FF   x   ff

Gametes)  F   F     f   f

Punnett square)    F      F

Merle is a marking pattern in canine coats that appears as a marbling of color in a solid coat. The merle gene displays incomplete dominance.
CSCS individuals display a solid coat
CMCS individuals are merle and show patches of fur with a lighter, mottled effect
CMCM individuals are "double merle" and show patches of fur with much more pronounced lightening
Another gene, FGF5, also influences coat phenotype and determines whether dogs display long or short coats, with short coats being dominant to long coats.

What are general traits of a specialist species?

In the southeastern United States, there is a small type of lizard called a fence lizard. They have short legs and live under leaves and dead logs.
Over the last 70 years, fire ants have moved into the lizard's environment. When fire ants sting the lizards on their body, the lizards can die
Scientists have observed that in places with fire ants and lizards living together for a long time, the lizards have longer legs. In places where fire
ants have only been there a short time, the lizards' legs are shorter overall
Fire ants move into a new environment with the lizards. What will most likely happen to the lizard population over the next several years?
A. Some of the lizards would try to develop new traits to avoid the ants, and they would pass on those traits to their
offspring. The other lizards would die
B. All of the lizards would try to develop new traits to avoid the ants. They would all survive and pass on those traits to
their offspring
OC. Due to random mutations, some lizard offspring are born with different traits that help them avoid the fire ants. These
offspring will most likely survive and reproduce, while the lizards born without those traits will die.

If a segment of DNA that contains 500 nitrogen bases contains 100 cytosine nucleotides, how many adenine, guanine, and thymine nucleotides would be present

A deleterious recessive allele is one that can be harmful when it is found in its homgous condition, resulting in a poorly fit phenotype. An example of this is the allelefor sickle cell, which results in the condition known as sickle cell anemia when both recessive alleles are inherited. owever, in regions of Afriche proportion of the sickle cell allele is igher than expected, with as much as 15% of the alleles in the population being the recessive, deleteriou rsion. In the African population, there is also a high prevalence of malaria, a disease caused by the parasitic infestation of a plasmodium protozoan in the blood of humans. The recessive allele for sickle cell has been maintained over many generations. Evaluate the graph above and select the claim that supports the high frequency of the recessive allele in these African populations.
A)There is a selective advantage to the aa genotype, as the presence of sickle cell provides a greater fitness in an environment where malaria is common.
B)There is a selective pressure against the aa genotype, but the presence of malaria induces new mutations which generates more alleles within the population.
C)There is directional selection towards the Aa genotype, since aa is often a lethal condition. Non-random mating tends to maintain the recessive allele in the population.
D)There is a selective advantage to the heterozygous (Aa) condition as there is selective pressure against both the AA and aa genotypes. This maintains the recessive allele in the population.
