At 25°C values of [θ]222, the mean residue ellipticity at 222 nm, are - 33,000 and -3,000 deg cm2 dmol-1 for a polypeptide existing in α- helical (α) and β-structure (β), respectively. If this polypeptide undergoes a two-state heat-induced α-β transition, and a value of [θ]222 =  -15,000 deg cm2 dmol-1 is observed at 60°C, then this observation leads to the conclusion that the α helix conversion to β- structure is:

Four different mutant lines showing similar phenotype were identified from a genetic screen. When genetic crosses among these mutants were carried out, the first mutant was found to complement the second, third and fourth mutant lines. However, no other complementation groups do the four mutant lines belongs to?

#Unit 8. Inheritance Biology

Parents that are homozygous for different mutations a, b and c are crossed, producing offspring that are heterozygous as following

aa X bb        =  ab  (X)          

 bb X cc         =  bc  (Y)

aa X cc          =   ac  (Z)

If a and b belong to same locus but b and c belong to different locus then phenotype of heterozygote

In the multiple allele series that determines coat color in rabbits, c+codes for agouti, cch for chinchilla and ch for Himalayan. Dominance is in the order c+>cch>ch. In a cross of c+/cch X cch/ch, what proportion of progeny will be chinchilla?
