Communication

Communication is a method of transferring information between two persons or organisms. Communication is possible using mutually understood behaviors such as signs, symbols, or language. In the year 1980, S. F. Scudder proposed communication theory. According to his ideas, all living beings on the earth communicate, but the methods of communication differ. Communication skills are now part of soft skills.

What is the predicted phenotypic ratio for the offspring of the following cross?

Home Work Practice (No points) 7. One of the seven characteristics that Mendel evaluated was pod color. Suppose Mendel crosses true-breeding plants with green pods with true breeding plants that have yellow pods. He harvests seeds from this cross and plants these seeds at the beginning of the next gardening season. All of these plants produce green pods. The F1 plants are allowed to self-hybridize and these seeds are planted to produce an F2 generation. A.What does true breeding tell you about genotype? B.In words, state the genotype of all individuals in the F1 generation. C.Using appropriate symbols, state the genotypes of the parents and the F1 generation. D.Predict the expected proportions and the genotypes of members of the F2 generation, assuming complete dominance E.Predict the expected proportions and phenotypes of members of the F2 generation, assuming complete dominance.

Drosohpila Punnet Square of Crosses. I need results of F1 & F2 generation using Punnett Squares for: Make Punnet Squares of the following crosses •Drosophila Female wildtype cross Male White-eye •Drosophila Male wildtype cross Female White-eye •Drosophila Female Wild Type cross Male Scarlet Eye •Drosophila Male Wild Type cross Female Scarlet Eye Also, Which allele is heterozygous and which is homozygous, & which is dominant and which is recessive?
6. Alleles A and a are present in the parental nucleus, how many are present in the gametes? (This illustrates Mendel's first principle, segregation. The Law of Segregation means that during gamete formation, pairs of alleles are separated (segregated) form each other and end up in different gametes.) 7- What are the genotypes of the gamete nuclei? asap please
Complete the punnet square using the alleles you just listed. Comment: I can see that heterozygous is Rr and Homozygous is RR. But I still don’t understand how to do the punnet square.

I'm having trouble with my genetics study guide, and am stuck on this question. If someone could explain it with the work it would help me so much. Thank you! In humans, the inheritance of the ABO blood group system exhibits both complete dominance (alleles IA and IB are dominant to allele i) and codominance (alleles IA and IB). In addition, thalassemia shows incomplete dominance; heterozygotes (Tt) exhibit a mild form of the disease (thalassemia minor) and homozygotes (tt) have a more severe form (thalassemia major). A man has blood type A and his mother has blood type O. His wife has blood type AB. Both members of the couple have thalassemia minor. What is the probability that they will have a child with: a. thalassemia minor and blood type A? b. no anemia and blood type AB? c. thalassemia major and blood type B?

In goats, black fur is dominant to red fur. The gene for this trait can be described as Bb (if you forgot why this is so, go back and reread the background information at the beginning of this exercise). A homozygous black female goat (nanny) is crossed with a heterozygous male (billy). What is the probability of this cross producing a black kid (baby goat) that is homozygous for this trait? Record your answer as a percentage. _____
