In a dihybrid cross, the ratio of the offspring is 
<span>9-homozygous dominant for both traits
3-dominant for one trait and recessive for the other) 
3 -</span>dominant for one trait and recessive for the other
1 - <span>homozygous recessive for both traits


Therefore there will be one-sixteenth of </span>homozygous recessive for both traits( 9+3+3+1=16) of a 100 flies in the next generation, or more precisely 6,25.

A stapler is used to staple 100 papers; it jams 5 times during the trial. A different brand of stapler performs the same test; i
kow [346]

Answer:

This question is asking to identify the independent and dependent variables in the experiment.

Independent variable: Type/brand of stapler

Dependent variable: Number of jams

Explanation:

The independent variable in an experiment is the variable that is subject to control or manipulation by the experimenter. It is manipulated in order to effect a change in the dependent variable, which is dependent on it. In this experiment, the INDEPENDENT variable is the BRAND/TYPE OF STAPLER USED because it is what is changed or manipulated to produce an outcome.

On the other hand, a dependent variable is that which the experimenter measures. It is the variable that responds to the changes made to the independent variable. In this experiment, the NUMBER OF JAMS is the variable responding to the type of stapler used (independent), hence, it is the DEPENDENT variable.

Which of the following has the fewest taste receptors?
kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

filiform papillae

Explanation:

The filiform papillae, also called conical papillae, are sensory receptors distributed on two thirds of the lingual dorsum. They are the most abundant papillae on the surface of the tongue and are not associated with taste reception because they have the smallest number of taste receptors.

These papillae are arranged fairly evenly in rows parallel to the central groove of the tongue, especially in the center and back. These papillae are made up of connective tissue and an epithelium that expresses keratin, a protein present in people's skin, hair and nails.

The____ is the section of the rainforest that is too dark for most plant life.(write response, no opinion choices)
AveGali [126]

Answer:

Forest floor

Explanation:

Tropical rainforest is characterized by high rainfall that allows a diverse growth of plant species. The different species of plants and animals species that make up a rainforest are found in different layers. There are four layers or sections in the rainforest from top to bottom viz: emergent layer, canopy, understory and forest floor.

Since the layers are classified from top to bottom, each layer receives different amount of rainfall and sunlight. According to the question, the FOREST FLOOR receives the least amount of sunlight making it the darkest section of the rainforest. Due to the inhibited penetration of sunlight into this layer, it usually does not support any plant growth.
