In a plant, a single locus affects both berry color and berry size. There are two mutant alleles (R1 and R2) in addition to the wild-type allele (R0). Individuals that are R0R0 have large, white berries. Individuals that are R1R1 or R0R1 have red berries, individuals that are R2R2 or R0R2 have small berries, and R1R2 individuals have berries that are both red and small. Thus...R1 is dominant to R2.R2 is dominant to R1.R1 and R2 exhibit incomplete dominance.R1 and R2 exhibit codominance.R1 and R2 exhibit pleiotropy.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

R1 and R2 exhibit codominance.

Explanation:

In the given plant, pleiotropic locus regulates both berry color and berry size. The R1 allele gives red berries while the R0 allele is responsible for white berries. The heterozygote R0R1 also has red berries, which means that R1 is dominant over R0 for the color of berries. The R2 allele is responsible for the "small" size of berries in homozygous genotype.

The genotype R0R2 also has small berries, which means that R2 is also dominant to R0. However, the genotype R1R2 imparts red color and small size to berries. In the genotype R1R2, both the R1 (responsible for the red color of berries) and R2 (responsible for the small size of berries) alleles are expressed. This represents the fact that the R1 and R2 alleles are codominant and express themselves in heterozygous R1R2 genotype.

Which of the following statement is true of a semi-conservative model of replication?1) Each newly synthesized double helix of DNA contains one new strand and one old strand.

2)DNA synthesis involves conserving only part of each of the original strands in a DNA molecule.

3)The original DNA molecule is stored in the cell nucleus and serves as a template for creating copies containing two new strands.

4)DNA synthesis involves conserving one strand of a double helix of DNA and discarding the other.

Answers

Answer - A
Semi-conservative model of replication involves the replication of DNA in all the familiar cells in such a way that each newly synthesized daughter cell contains a double helix with one new strand and one old strand.

The statement that is true of a semi-conservative model of replication is "each newly synthesized double helix of DNA contains one new strand and one old strand. The correct statement is A.
