Two short-haired guinea pigs have several offspring over the course of a few years. Out of 100 offspring, 25 of them have long h

The genotype of the short-haired parents that produced some long hair offsprings is probably heterozygous.

<h3>What is heterozygosity?</h3>

Heterozygous means an organism which has two different alleles of a given gene.

An organism that is heterozygous posseses two different alleles of the same gene. For example, in this gene coding for hair length;

  • L represents short hair (dominant)
  • l represents long hair (recessive)

Therefore, if two short-haired parents produce 100 offsprings and 25 of them are long-haired, it means that they were probably heterozygous for the short hair.

Two autosomal genes control horn color in dragons. Pure-breedinggold-horned dragons were mated to pure-breeding silver-horneddra
horrorfan [7]

Answer:

The genetically based phenotypic  ratio for of Gold: Silver: Bronze = 9:1:6

The expected number of gold-horned dragons is = 144

The expected number of silver-horned dragons is = 16

The expected number of bronze-horned dragons is = 96

Explanation:

Given that; F2 generation consisted of:

147 gold

17 silver

92 bronze.

Total autosomal genes control horn color in dragons = 256

When we conducted the punnet square for the Pure-breedinggold-horned dragons were mated with the  pure-breeding silver-horneddragons, then intercrossed them for the F2 generation, It is seen that;

The genetically based phenotypic  ratio for of Gold: Silver: Bronze = 9:1:6

∴

The expected  number of gold-horned dragon = 256*\frac{9}{16}

= 144

The expected number of silver- horned dragon = 256*\frac{1}{16}

= 16

The expected number of Bronze-horned dragon = 256*\frac{6}{16}

= 96

Null Hypothesis = The observed ratio of Gold:Siver:Bronze

=144:16:96

=9:1:6

Observed          Expected               (OF - EF)²                 \frac{(OF-EF)^2}{EF}

Frequency         Frequency

(OF)                    (EF)

147                       144                           9                                0.062500                    

17                         16                              1                                0.062500

92                       96                             16                               0.166667

Total:                                                                                      0.291667

Since Degree of Freedom = 2

Our P-Value = 0.864

∴ Our P. Value is very high that we accept the null hypothesis

Why do humans sweat and dogs pant
iragen [17]
I think because humans have sweat glands in their skin that help cool the body by evaporation. Dogs don't have sweat glands but they have extensive blood vessels in their tongues that allow for heat to transfer. Panting helps move air across the tongue which carries away heat from the dog's blood.
