In beetles, the gene for color and the gene for pattern are located on the same chromosome and exhibit recombination. the lined pattern allele (l) is recessive to the solid unpatterned allele (l), and the aqua color allele (b) is recessive to the blue color allele (b). geneticists cross a homozygous lined aqua beetle with a homozygous solid blue beetle. then, they carry out a testcross using the f1 progeny. the parental chromosomes for the testcross are given. identify all possible gametic haplotypes each parent can form

Explanation:

The genes that determine color and pattern are linked.

Homozygous lined aqua beetle has the genotype lb/lb

It can produce only 1 type of gamete: lb

X

Homozygous solid blue beetle has the genotype LB/LB

It can produce only 1 type of gamete: LB

The F1 is formed by the union of the parents' gametes, so it will have the genotype  lb/LB

Test crosses involve a homozygous recessive individual.

The homozygous recessive individual lb/lb can only produce 1 type of gamete:

The F1 individual lb/LB  can produce 4 types of gametes:

c.) polymerase chain reaction

- "unlike the original dna fingerprinting method, dna profiling does not use restriction enzymes to cut the dna. instead it uses the polymerase chain reaction (pcr)? to produce many copies of specific str sequences. pcr is an automated procedure that generates lots of copies of a specific sequence of dna."

helicase, i think thats it
