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.

In the cranes what does songsam recall in the two flashbacks to his childhood? explain how these memories motivate songsam's act
True [87]
The "Cranes" is a short story book written by Hwang Sunwon. The story is set in Korea during the Korean War and focuses on two childhood friends, Songsam and Tokchae, who are on opposite sides during the war. Songsam has two flashbacks of his childhood memories with his friend Tokchae, where he remembers how they used to climb the trees and catch cranes. These flashbacks act as a reminder of the times he had spent with his friend and the importance of this friendship. As a result, these memories motivate him to let Tokchae free.

Calculate the frequency of b cells specific for antigen a on day 36 if the antibody concentration on day 36 is about 8 × 103. (f
matrenka [14]
-The number of B cells producing the antibody is proportional to the concentration of that antibody.

-On day 16, one out of  100000 B cells are specific for antigen A
\frac{1}{100000} = 1 x 10⁻⁵ B cells

- on day 16, Antibody concentration is  2 × 10¹= 20 Antibodies
- on day 36, antibody concentration 8 × 10³.= 8000

20 antibodies ------------ 1 x 10⁻⁵ B cells
8000 antibodies--------------x

x= (8000 x 1 x 10⁻⁵)/ 20
x= 4x10⁻³ or 1 in 250 are <span>B cells specific for antigen A</span>
