In watermelons, bitter fruit (B) is dominant over sweet fruit (b), and yellow spots (S) are dominant over no spots (s). The genes for these two characteristics link at 30 map unit. A homozygous plant that has bitter fruit and yellow spots is crossed with a homozygous plant that has sweet fruit and no spots. If an F1 plant is backcrossed with the sweet fruit, no spot parent, what are the phenotypes ratio expected in the their offspring

This pedigree shows the inheritance of a recessive trait in humans. Individuals that have the trait are homozygous for a recessive allele a. If H and I, who happen to be first cousins, marry and have a child, what is the chance that this child will have the recessive trait?

Model of cry1 interactions with COP1/SPA1 in the regulation of photomorphogenesis, what will happen in the dark as well as in the light in wild type condition of cryptochrome?

a) In the dark, COP1/SPA1 acts to degrade transcription factors such as HY5, which is required for photomorphogenesis

b) In the dark, cry1 is activated by phosphorylation and forms a complex with COP1 and SPA1 via the C-terminal domain, preventing them from degrading protein HY5

c) In the light, COP1/SPA1 acts to degrade transcription factors such as HY5, which is required for photomorphogenesis

d) In the light, cry1 is activated directly by blue light and indirectly by blue light induced phosphorylation and forms a complex with COP1 and SPA1 via the C-terminal domain, preventing them from degrading protein HY5

e) In light as well as in dark both case cryptochrome perfom same function such as forming a complex with COP1/ SPA1 thereby promoting an increase in HY5 protein levels and transcription

Which of the following combinations from the above statements of cryptochrome is incorrect?
