Ans.

A pedigree chart can be defined as a diagram that represents the appearance or occurrence of character of a specific gene or individual and his ancestors for one to next generation.

The pedigree chart is used to identify the inheritance pattern of a specific gene transmit from ancestors to their descendants. It is useful to determine the probability of an organism having a particular genetic disorder.

Thus, the correct answer is option). 'to identify the pattern of inheritance of a particular trait.'

The purpose for which a pedigree chart might be prepared is to identify the pattern of inheritance of a particular trait.
This pedigree chart is created so as to see which traits this new offspring has inherited from its ancestors and which may possibly be transferred onto a new offspring later on in its life. It is formed in order to find patterns of inheritance and see what the most important traits that get inherited are.

Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Oogenesis includes the formation of one egg cell from a single oocyte or egg mother cell. The diploid primary oocytes in the ovaries enter into the first meiotic division and form a haploid secondary oocyte and a haploid first polar body. After fertilization, the secondary oocytes complete the meiosis-II and forms one large ovum and a second polar body. The ovum formed by meiosis-II is much larger than the second polar body due to the unequal distribution of cytoplasm during meiosis-II. This imparts enough amount of cytoplasm in the zygote to support the mitosis without any cell growth.

A yellow female Labrador retriever was mated with a brown male. Half of the puppies were brown, and half were yellow. Explain ho
Over [174]

Answer:

The first male was bb Ee, and the second male was bb EE.

Explanation:

In Labradors coat colour is controlled by two genes. Suppose the two genes are B and E. B produces black colour and recessive form bb gives brown colour. Gene E is epistatic over gene B in its recessive form which means that ee will produce yellow colour regardless of the genotype present of B gene.

The first case is possible if the female lab is bbee (yellow) and the male lab is bbEe (brown):

bbee X bbEe

        bE      be

be  bbEe    bbee

So half of the offspring will be brown (bbEe) and half of them will be yellow (bbee)

The second case is possible if the same female bbee mates with a brown male of different genotype which can be bbEE:

bbee X bbEE

         bE

be   bbEe

So all offspring will be brown (bbEe)

Hence, the first male was bbEe and the second male was bbEE.
