9. In guinea pigs, rough coat is dominant (R) to smooth coat (r) and black coat (B) is dominant to white coat (b). A rough black guinea pig bred with a rough white one produces 29 rough black offspring, 31 rough white offspring, 11 smooth black and 9 smooth white. Give the genotypes of the parents, the probability for the offspring, and the actual number of each kind of offspring you would expect. Genotype of the rough, black parent

the genotype of the parent guinea pigs are as follows:

RrBb (rough, black) and Rrbb (rough, white)

Explanation:

Since the phenotype of smooth coat is present in the offspring, the parent genotype cannot have RR alleles for their coat. Similarly, the rough, black parent cannot have BB alleles in its genotype because that will not yield a white coat color in its offspring.

After making the dihybdrid cross, the probability obtained for each phenotype is given below:

rough black:

rough white:

smooth black:

smooth white:

Hope that answers the question, have a great day!

transcription is a process in which information is rewritten. it is something our cells must do, in a more specialized and narrowly defined way. in biology, transcription is the process of copying out the dna sequence of a gene in the similar alphabet of rna. it needs to happen in the nucleus because that's where the dna is. dna is always inside the nucleus unless the cell is dividing.

transcription is the first step in gene expression, which involves copying a gene's dna sequence to make an rna molecule. transcription is performed by rna polymerases. it has three stages: initiation, elongation, and termination. rna molecules must be processed after transcription in eukaryotes.

explanation:

long version:

the protein synthesis consists two processes which are, transcription and translation. transcription takes place in the nucleus. it uses dna as a template to make an rna molecule. rna then leaves the nucleus and goes to a ribosome in the cytoplasm, where translation occurs. transcription is the first part of the central dogma of molecular biology: dna → rna. it is the transfer of genetic instructions in dna to messenger rna (mrna). during transcription, a strand of mrna is made that is complementary to a strand of dna.  

these three stages are:

  initiation: in which   is the beginning of transcription.occuring when the enzyme rna polymerase binds to a region of a gene called the promoter. this signals the dna to unwind so the enzyme can ‘‘read’’ the bases in one of the dna strands. the enzyme is now ready to make a strand of mrna with a complementary sequence of bases.

    elongation: in which is the addition of nucleotides to the mrna strand. rna polymerase reads the unwound dna strand and builds the mrna molecule, using complementary base pairs. there is a brief time during this process when the newly formed rna is bound to the unwound dna. during this process, an adenine (a) in the dna binds to an uracil (u) in the rna.

    termination: in which is the ending of transcription, and occurs when rna polymerase crosses a stop (termination) sequence in the gene. the mrna strand is complete, and it detaches from dna.

yes!
