Answer:

Genotype of parents:                  Ss     x     ss

Genotype of offsprings:                  Ss    ss

Expected ratio of short to long:      2  :   2 = 1 :  1

The actual ratio in this problem is Eight kittens have short hair and 3 have long hair: 8 : 3

Explanation:

In cats the allele for short hair is dominant over the allele for long hair. (SS or Ss for short hair; ss for long hair).

A short haired male and long haired female have kittens. Eight kittens have short hair and 3 have long hair.

For the parents to have been able to produce long haired offsprings, it means both parents possess one copy each of the recessive traits. Thus we have

Phenotype of parent: A short haired male and long haired female

Genotype of parents:                  Ss     x     ss

Genotype of offsprings:                  Ss    ss

Expected ratio of short to long:      2  :   2 = 1 :  1

The actual ratio in this problem is Eight kittens have short hair and 3 have long hair: 8 : 3

1) Which of the following explains why a bone in a bird's wing is homologous to a bone in a lizards leg? A) The bones in the two
dangina [55]

Answer:

<em><u>The correct option is D) The two species have a common ancestor</u></em>

Explanation:

In evolutionary studies, homologous structures can be described as structures which are similar in organisms of different species because they had a common ancestor in the past. These structures may not perform the same function but are similar because they arose from a common ancestor. Hence, the bone in a bird's wing can be homologous to a bone in a lizard leg because they have a common ancestor in the past.

If a battery produced 12.6 volts, what would the current flow be for a 6 Ohm resistor
Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

I = 2.1 A

Explanation:

This is physics, but I will answer here either way.

First, the battery produces a voltage of 12 V in a resistor with 6 ohm, and we want the current flow (I). We need to apply the following expression:

V = R * I   (1)

This is the Ohm's law. From here we can solve for I and:

I = V/R   (2)

Now, we just need to replace the data and solve for the current:

I = 12.6 / 6

<h2>I = 2.1 A</h2>

Hope this helps
