Suppose that a dominant allele (P) codes for a polka-dot tail and a recessive allele (p) codes for a solid colored tail. In addi

tion, suppose that a dominant allele (L) codes for long eyelashes and a recessive allele (l) codes for short eyelashes. If two individuals heterozygous for both traits (tail color and eyelash length) mate, what's the probability of the phenotypic combinations of the offspring?
A. 1:1 ratio (half are polka-dot tails and short eyelashes; half are solid tails and long eyelashes)
B. 9:3:3:1 ratio (9 polka-dot tails and long eyelashes, 3 polka-dot tails and short eyelashes, 3 solid tails and short eyelashes, 1
solid tail and short eyelash)
C. 1:1 ratio (half are polka-dot tails and long eyelashes; half are solid tails and short eyelashes)
D. 9:3:3:1 ratio (9 polka-dot tails and short eyelashes, 3 polka-dot tails and short eyelashes, 3 solid tails and long eyelashes, 1
solid tail and long eyelash)

Answer:

B. 9:3:3:1 ratio (9 polka-dot tails and long eyelashes, 3 polka-dot tails and short eyelashes, 3 solid tails and short eyelashes, 1  solid tail and short eyelash)

Explanation:

The Punnett square diagram for a cross between individuals heterozygous for two traits, tail & eyelashes where dominant allele (P) codes for a polka-dot tail and a recessive allele (p) codes for a solid colored tail & dominant allele (L) codes for long eyelashes and a recessive allele (l) codes for short eyelashes is attached.

From the diagram attached, it is clear that there will be a 9:3:3:1 phenotypic ratio.

9 genotypes with dominant traits (polka-dot tails and long eyelashes) will be: PPLL, PPLl, PpLL, PpLl ,PPLl, PpLl, PpLL, PpLl & PpLl.

3 genotypes with dominant trait for one character and recessive trait for another character (polka-dot tails and short eyelashes) will be: Ppll, Ppll & PPll.

3 genotypes with dominant trait for one character and recessive trait for another character (solid tails and long eyelashes) will be: ppLL, ppLl & ppLl

1 genotype which will be recessive for both the characters (solid tail and short eyelash) will be : ppll

In mitochondrial electron transport, what is the direct role of.
horrorfan [7]

Answer:

O2 participates in cellular respiration

Explanation:

The only place that O2 participates in cellular respiration is at the end of the electron transport chain, as the final electron acceptor. Oxygen's high affinity for electrons ensures its success in this role.

A cell under a microscope shows Two daughter cells were formed and they are haploid. Which stage of meiosis is the cell showing?
Nadya [2.5K]

The answer is <span>Meiosis I.</span>



<span>Meiosis is a cell division which results in the reduction of chromosome number by half - from diploid to haploid - in daughter cells. It consists of meiosis I and meiosis II. Meiosis I produces two haploid cells. Meiosis II is analogous to mitosis, so each of these two haploid cells will in meiosis II produce two haploid cells. In total, meiosis results in four haploid cells.</span>

<span>
</span>

<span>Therefore, the production of two haploid daughter cells is in meiosis I.</span>

What advantage does giving birth in the harshest part of winter give to the grey seal pups?
AveGali [126]
Grey seals breed in habitats where disturbance is kept to a minimal, like rocky shores, ice flows and islands. They feed on cold open waters. When pups are given birth in early winter or late autumn, their skins are white with yellowish tint. They are relatively helpless and rely on their mother's milk for the first few weeks after birth. They deposit a thick layer of blubber that will protect and allow them to adapt to the cold to sustain them when they will hunt for themselves. Hope this helps...
