Answer:

Cytochrome c is an enzyme found in bacteria, fungi, plants and animals. Here it is given that the human amino acid sequence for cytochrome c differs at 12 locations from the sequence in horses and pigeons. This information might be useful for inferring in preliminary stages that horses and pigeons are closely related to each other since they both show similar amount of difference from humans.

However, this hypothesis is being made with respect to the the comparison between "humans and horses" and "humans and pigeons". To further test this hypothesis pigeons and horses should be directly compared to each other without the use of a third species like humans. Hence, the sequence for cytochrome c in horse and pigeon should be compared with each other rather than comparing to humans.

uysha [10]

Answer:

C. An approximately three-to-one ratio of black to brown coated mice in F2 is accounted for by the black allele being dominant over the brown allele

Explanation:

Assuming the black genotype is BB and the brown genotype is bb.

At F1:

                 BB   x   bb = All Bb (black)

At F2:

                  Bb   x   Bb = BB (black), 2Bb (Black), bb (brown)

Th ratio of black to brown is 3:1

961 black : 317 brown is approximately 3:1.

Hence, the correct option is C.

<em>An approximately three-to-one ratio of black to brown coated mice in F2 is accounted for by the black allele being dominant over the brown allele</em>

musickatia [10]

The given blank can be filled with medulla.  

The medulla also called the medulla oblongata is the segment of the brainstem that is factually the stem, which elongates from the brain. The medulla is positioned below the pons and above the spinal cord and is a major relay intersection for information conducted to and from the spinal cord and the brain. This section of the brain is a monitoring center for circulation and respiration.
