Answer:

B.) Can lead to new species that share common ancestors

Explanation:

Genetic drift and natural selection both lead to evolution. This describes the change of a species overtime to be better suited for their environments. In some cases, this leads to the creation of an entirely new species (speciation).

A litter of four kittens includes one with black hair and blue eyes, one with black hair and orange eyes, one with brown tabby h
Hoochie [10]

Answer:

Law of independent assortment

Explanation:

According to Gregor Mendel who he performed a performed a cross involving two different genes i.e. a dihybrid cross, he stated that the allele of one gene will get sorted into gametes independently of the alleles of the other gene. He called this the LAW OF INDEPENDENT ASSORTMENT.

He obtained a 9:3:3:1 ratio when he performed this cross, which was only expected if each gametes contained the two genes in a combined state i.e. the dominant allele for one gene is equally likely to contain a dominant or recessive allele for the other gene in a gamete.

In this case, it appears the black hair and blue eyes are dominant alleles respectively while the tabby hair and orange eyes are recessive alleles respectively. If these alleles assort independently and combine in different ways, it will give rise to diverse genotypes and phenotypes in the kitten as illustated in the different phenotypic expression of eye color and hair color in the kitten.

If you have a pet cockroach with a brown body, how could you find out if it is
aleksklad [387]

Answer:

by testcrossing with a homozygous recessive partner

Explanation:

<u>If a pet cockroach exists whose zygosity is unknown, this can be determined by a test cross. A test cross involves crossing an organisms whose zygosity is unknown with a partner that is homozygous recessive for the same trait.</u>

Let us assume that brown body is represented by the allele B, the dominant allele. The homozygous recessive version would be bb.

The genotype of a brown cockroach whose zygosity is not known can be denoted as B_, where '_' can be a 'B' or a 'b'.

When B_ is crossed with bb:

B_   x   bb

Progeny

2 Bb

2 _b

The phenotype of Bb would be brown (since B is dominant over b) while the phenotype of _b would depend on the zygosity level of the cockroach.

If the unknown genotype is BB, then _b becomes Bb and the phenotype will be a brown body. This means that all the progeny will appear brown. (<em>see the first attached image for the Punnet's square</em>)

In other word, if the unknown genotype is bb, then _b becomes bb and the phenotype will be a alternate color (non-brown) body. This means that 50% of the progeny will appear brown while the remaining 50% will be in the alternate color. (<em>attached</em>

Explain the steps that you would use to focus on a specimen under a compound light microscope.
Rashid [163]

To start, move the objective lens to its lowest power setting. Place a slide on the stage with the label side up and the cover slip in the middle. You can only use the coarse focus knob when the power is low. If you can't see anything, move the slide a little while you look and focus. If nothing shows up, turn down the light and move the slide a little while you're looking and focusing. Once you're in focus on low power, move the slide to make the object of interest in the middle of it. Turn the objective to medium power and only change the fine focus. If you need to, turn the objective to high power and only adjust the fine focus.
