Answer:

reduced hybrid fertility

Explanation

The formation of mules  from the cross between female horses (mares) and male donkeys (jacks) is an example of reduced fertility because the mules are sterile and they cannot give birth to babies.

Reason:

Because mule cannot produce sperms. This has to do with his genetics. A mule has 63 chromosomes in total. He gets 32 chromosomes from his mom (that is a horse) and 31 chromosomes from his Dad (that is a donkey). As we know, it is very important for reproduction that chromosomes hould be present in two sets with equal numbers.

To reproduce he needs equal number of chromosomes because we know during meiosis chromosomes segregate and half number goes in daughter cells. But in case of mules he has an extra chromosome due to which he cannot undergo correct meiosis and produce sperms. That is ahy he stays sterile throughout his life. This is called reduced hybrid fertility

Hope it helps!

Crawfish are shelled organisms that live in shallow freshwater rivers. They can have antennae of different lengths. Two parents
vredina [299]

The phenotype of antenna in crawfish depends on the protein amount in the antenna length. The offspring have different phenotype than their parent because of the amount of protein translated from each parent gene is determining in this.

The gene determines the amount of protein to be present in the antenna to determine its length.

Explanation:

Data given:

Two crawfish parent = medium length antennae, genotyoe Ll

One offspring = short antenna, genotype ll

one offspring = long antennae, genotype LL

The traits in offspring is shown as:

       L    l

L   LL    Ll

l   Ll     ll

The proportion of allele present in the gene determined the length of the antenna in crawfish.

The difference in length of the antenna in crawfish is due to the amount of protein for the phenotype present in the individual. The amount of protein to be expressed in the crawfish is given by both the parents. The tendency of protein expresed define the phenotype of antenna length.

irakobra [83]

Answer:

Gastrulation leads to the formation of the three germ layers that give rise during further development to the different organs in the animal body. This process is called organogenesis. Organs develop from the germ layers through the process of differentiation.
