Answer:
a. M_D_
: 9/16 Black furred individuals
b. M__dd
: 3/16 gray furred individuals (1/16 MMdd + 2/16 Mmdd)
c. mmD_
: 3/16 Brow-furred individuals (1/16 mmDD + 2/16 mmDd)
d. mmdd: 1/16 gray furred individuals.
Explanation:
Available data:
- Dense pigment gene, D, codes for melanophilin.
- D allele dominant over d.
- Gene M/m is responsible for the production of the pigment
- M is dominant over m
- If D is present, M/m is expressed
- If dd is present, M/m is not expressed
- DDMM, DdMM, DDMm, DdMm --->Black fur
- DDmm, Ddmm ---> Brown fur
- ddMM, ddMm -----> Light gray fur
Cross: between two dihybrids
Parental) DdMm x DdMm
Phenotype) Black-furred Black-furred
Gametes) DM, Dm, dM, dm DM, Dm, dM, dm
Punnet Square) DM Dm dM dm
DM DDMM DDMm DdMM DdMm
Dm DDMm DDmm DdMm Ddmm
dM DdMM DdMm ddMM ddMm
dm DdMm Ddmm ddMm ddmm
F1) 9/16 Black-furred individuals, D-M- (1/16 DDMM + 2/16 DDMm + 2/16
DdMM + 4/16 DdMm)
3/16 Brown-furred individuals, D-mm ( 1/16 DDmm + 2/16 Ddmm)
4/16 Gray-furred individuals, dd-- ( 1/16ddMM + 1/16 ddmm + 2/16 ddMm)
The dependent variable in an experiment could be formally called the cause while the independent could be called the effect.
B because the peptides when they collect in a clump, has a effect like hydrocloric acid.
