A pet store has two guinea pigs. One has white fur and one has black fur. The white guinea pig has two recessive alleles for fur

color (bb). The black guinea pig has one dominant allele (B) and one recessive allele (b) for fur color. What will most likely be the phenotypes ofcthe offspring on a cross between the two guinea pigs? Explain your answer. If you wish, you may also construct a punnett square showing the cross.

Given two guinea pigs with genotypes Bb and bb.

We use a Punnett square to show the possible phenotypes.

       B      b
b    Bb   bb
b    Bb   bb

So there are two possible phenotypes, Black fur (heterozygous) and white fur (heterozygous recessive).

Answer:

The offsprings will be black-furred and white-furred in a ratio 1:1

Explanation:

This cross involves a single gene coding for fur colour in guinea pig. According to the illustration in the question that the white-furred parent has two recessive alleles (bb) and the black-furred parent has a Bb genotype, the allele for black fur (B) is dominant over the allele for white fur (b) i.e. black fur will mask the expression of white fur in a heterozygous state.

In a cross between a bb and Bb genotype, the alleles segregate into gametes according to Mendel and four possible offsprings will be produced with two having a Bb genotype (phenotypically black-furred) and the other two having a bb genotype (phenotypically white-furred). Hence, the phenotypic ratio will be 1:1.

Dominik [7]

Food and nutrition are fundamental to military capability. Historical examples demonstrate that a failure to supply adequate nutrition to armies inevitably leads to disaster; however, innovative measures to overcome difficulties in feeding reap benefits, and save lives. In barracks, UK Armed Forces are currently fed according to the relatively new Pay As You Dine policy, which has attracted criticism from some quarters. The recently introduced Multi-Climate Ration has been developed specifically to deal with issues arising from Iraq and the current conflict in Afghanistan.Answer:

Please help!! Can you figure out the modern spreading rate of the Mid- Atlantic ridge? Use that line to figure out how many kilo
bija089 [108]

Answer:

R = 16mm/y  

Explanation:

Modern Spreading Rate (R) = distance the seafloor moved in km (d) / age in million years (t)

R = d/t  

To calculate it in millimeters per year we need to convert it:

<em>1 km = 1000 m  </em>

<em>1 m = 100 cm </em>

<em>1cm = 10mm </em>

<em>1 km = 1,000,000 mm   </em>

The problem states that in 150 million years, there is a distance of 2400 km.

if 1 km ------- 1,000,000 mm

2400 km-------X = 2400,000,000 mm

If 1 million years -------1,000,000 years

150 my----X = 150,000,000 years

R = d/t

R = 2400,000,000 mm/150,000,000 y.

R = 16mm/y
