In the mouse, gene B can produce black pigment from a colorless precursor molecule. A mouse having at least one B allele can pro

duce black pigment, whereas the homozygous recessive mouse (bb) cannot and is albino. The agouti locus (A) can convert the black pigment to brown in the presence of at least one dominant A allele, whereas the homozygous recessive (aa) cannot convert the black pigment to brown. What color fur would a mouse have with the genotype aaBB

Answer: Black

Explanation:

Given the genotype aaBB,

aa represents a recessive allele that does not allow conversion from black to brown, thereby remaining unexpressed, while BB signifies a dominant allele responsible for black fur. Thus, the dominant BB will dictate the mouse's fur color, resulting in black fur.

Answer:

Black

Explanation:

In mice, there exists a specific colorless pigment precursor.

  • The presence of the B allele results in the conversion of this precursor into black pigment.
  • In the case of genotype bb, the mouse appears albino.

Furthermore:

  • If allele A is present, the black pigment transforms into brown pigment.
  • In genotype aa, the mouse retains its black color as the pigment does not convert to brown.

Thus, for a mouse with genotype aaBB, the colorless precursor is turned into black because of the B allele, but without an A allele, the black pigment remains unchanged, resulting in a black-furred mouse.

-BARSIC- [2551]

Answer:

Ethylene. (Ans. D)

Explanation:

Ethylene controls the aging and ripening processes in plants. While many fruits and vegetables generate small amounts of ethylene, climacteric fruits like bananas produce larger quantities. This ethylene release accelerates respiration, triggers more ethylene production, and causes changes in color and flavor.

Therefore, when transporting green bananas over long distances to stores, the ethylene gas should be removed from their surrounding environment.
