Answer:

obesity increases blood pressure

Explanation:

This is because the high fat percentage in the body has lead to a build up of fat on the inside of arteries and this makes them thinner. the heart has to pump harder to get the blood around the body and through these, now smaller arteries. therefore yes having diabetes does increase blood pressure.

other factors which increase blood pressure are high stress levels, smoking, anxiety.

4. What genotypes of parents will have only white-fur offspring? Parent 1 genotype = Parent 2 genotype = What genotypes of paren
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

All white offspring: Parent 1 genotype = homozygous dominant

                            Parent 2 genotype = homozygous/heterozygous dominant

For all black offspring: Parent 1 genotype = homozygous recessive

                                     Parent 2 genotype = homozygous recessive

Explanation:

The cross was between a white mouse and a black mouse and the phenotypic ratio of the resulting offspring is 50% white and 50% black.

Assuming that fur color in the mouse is represented by the allele A (a), In order to give 1:1 phenotypic ratio of the offspring, it means the white mouse is heterozygous with Aa genotype and the black mouse is homozygous with aa genotype. Also, it means that the allele A is dominant over the allele a.

                       Aa    x    aa

                 Aa    Aa    aa    aa

Aa = white

aa = black

Ratio of white to black = 50/50 or 1:1

Hence, in order for a cross to yield only white offspring, the parents can either be homozygous AA and AA or one will be homozygous AA and the other will be heterozygous Aa.

1.              AA    x    AA

       AA    AA    AA    AA (all white offspring)

2.            AA    x    Aa

        AA    Aa    AA    Aa (all white offspring).

In order to produce only black offspring, both parents must be homozygous aa.

             aa    x    aa

         aa    aa    aa    aa    (all black offspring)
