5. Suppose that a dominant allele (P) codes for a polka-dot tail and a recessive allele (p) codes for a solid colored tail. In a

ddition, suppose that a dominant allele (L) codes for long eyelashes and a recessive allele (l) codes for short eyelashes. If two individuals heterozygous for both traits (tail color and eyelash length) mate, what's the probability of the phenotypic combinations of the offspring?
A. 1:1 ratio (half are polka-dot tails and short eyelashes; half are solid tails and long eyelashes)
B. 1:1 ratio (half are polka-dot tails and long eyelashes; half are solid tails and short eyelashes)
C. 9:3:3:1 ratio (9 polka-dot tails and long eyelashes, 3 polka-dot tails and short eyelashes, 3 solid tails and long eyelashes, 1 solid tail and short eyelash)
D. 9:3:3:1 ratio (9 polka-dot tails and short eyelashes, 3 polka-dot tails and long eyelashes, 3 solid tails and short eyelashes, 1 solid tail and long eyelash)

Answer:

C.

Explanation:

According to your problem, you have to two traits to be crossed, tail and eyelashes:

P - polka-dot tail                L - long eyelashes

p - solid colored tail           l - short eyelashes

It says we cross two individuals that are HETEROzygous for both traits, this means that their genotypes have each allele for each trait. So the cross would be:

PpLl x PpLl

Attached is a Punnet for this cross and ratio count for both genotype and phenotype.

The ratio based on phenotype would be the following:

9 polka-long: 3 polka-short: 3 solid-long: 1 solid-short

A substance is very sour and has a ph of 4. what color would you expect it to turn a piece of litmus paper
Anika [276]
If a substance is very sour and has a ph of 4, then you would expect the litmus paper to turn into the shade of red. A substance that is sour and has a pH level that is below 7 would indicate that the substance is an acid or has acidic properties. For an acidic solution, the litmus would be red in color. If a blue litmus paper is used, then it would turn into red while if a red litmus paper is used, then it would remain as red. There is also a general type of litmus paper where the color change range from violet to red. A litmus is widely used in distinguishing acid and bases. It can be used in liquid solutions and in gas mixtures. <span />

What are some examples of how a cell's structure relates to its function in the body?
irakobra [83]

The structure and shape of each type of human cell depends on what function it will perform in the body. For example, red blood cells (RBCs) are very small, flat discs, which allows them to easily fit through narrow capillaries and around sharp corners in the circulatory system to deliver oxygen throughout the body.

The elongated shape of muscle cells allows the contraction proteins to line up in an overlapping pattern that makes muscle flexing possible.

And human sperm cells’ structures allow them to “swim” long distances to reach an egg for fertilization
