Suppose that a dominant allele (P) codes for a polka-dot tail and a recessive allele (p) codes for a solid colored tail. If two
heterozygous individuals with polka-dot tails mate, what's the probability of the phenotype and genotype combinations of the offspring? A. 75 percent chance of a polka-dot tail and 25 percent chance of a solid colored tail (75 percent Pp; 25 percent pp) B. 75 percent chance of a polka-dot tail and 25 percent chance of a solid colored tail C. 25 percent chance of a polka-dot tail and 75 percent chance of a solid colored tail D. 50 percent chance of a polka-dot tail and 50 percent chance of a solid colored tail
The correct answer is B. This question relates to using a punnet square to determine the genotypes of the offspring. Two heterozygous parents expressing a polka-dot tale must have genotype Pp each.
Using a punnet square, this will produce 4 possible genotypes in equal probability: PP - polka dot Pp - polka dot Pp - polka dot pp - solid tale
Therefore there is a 75% change of getting polka dots in the offspring, and a 25% chance of solid tale.
A. is an incorrect answer because only 50% of offspring will be type Pp, another 25% will be expressing double dominant alleles for P as PP, which will still express polka dots.
The answer is B. This is because baby dolphins, when born, can't really comprehend a lot of things yet, so they, and the more adult dolphins there, try to get to the surface of the ocean to take a breath. :D I hope I helped!
In electromagnetic waves, energy is transferred through vibrations of electric and magnetic fields. In sound waves, energy is transferred through vibration of air particles or particles of a solid through which the sound travels. In water waves, energy is transferred through the vibration of the water particles.
The porcupine is a rodent with an unusual trait. Porcupines have sharp spines or quills that help protect it against its predators. This trait is different from other rodents because of its needle like quills. This animal is also similar to that of a hedgehogs.
