Answer:

1/8

Explanation:

An individual must have all three dominant alleles to be red, in homozygosis or heterozygosis (R_E_D_).

<u>The parental cross was:</u>

RREEDD x rreedd

F1: RrEeDd

<u>The test cross</u> is between the RrEeDd indiviudals and homozygous recessive rreedd.

The genes assort independently, so we can use Mendel's law of segregation to predict separately for each gene the proportion of the offspring that will have the dominant alleles.

<h3><u>Rr x rr</u></h3>

1/2 Rr

1/2 rr

<h3><u>Ee x ee</u></h3>

1/2 Ee

1/2 ee

<h3><u>Dd x dd</u></h3>

1/2 Dd

1/2 dd

Genes are independent, so the probability of having a R_E_D_ offpsring is calculated by multiplying the individual probabilities of having a dominant allele for each gene:

1/2 (Rr) × 1/2 (Ee) × 1/2 (Dd)= 1/8

Which of the following statements about phospholipids is TRUE? A Option A: Each one has two fatty acid chains and the glycerol b
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

Each one has two fatty acid chains and the glycerol backbone is bonded to a small polar group.

Explanation:

Phospholipid is a unique form of lipid. The  bonding of the glycerol backbone to the polar phosphate group makes phospholipid to have dual solubility unlike general triglycerides.

 

The polar head is said to be hydrophillic that is <u>water loving,</u> while the two carbon chains  that  retained lipid features are hydrophobic <u>water hating.</u>

Therefore if a phopholipid is placed in water, in relation  to its functions as component of cell membrane, it forms a bi-layer in which the water loving portion hydrophilic head points into the surrounding watery medium, while the hydrophobic layer points inwards far away from the watery medium into the internal cellular  layer to form an impermeable barrier to hydrophilic (polar) substances.

This forms the basis of   the  phospholipd  bilayer  of the  cell membrane. And it  controls the permeability of the cell membrane to  influx  substances  into the cells.

lesya692 [45]
The answer is the option A. removing plants from hillsides eliminates the root structures that anchor soil. Indeed the roots of trees, further to anchor the tress to the floor, serve as a net to which the soil attaches preventing the soil of been washed and removed by rainstorms

Which of the following is an example of specific immunity?
zvonat [6]

Answer:

Immunity to Small Pox

Explanation:

Over the years, Europeans had built up an immunity to smallpox because many had contracted the disease and still survived. As the population grew children were born with some immunity to the disease. When the Europeans arrived in the Americas, and smallpox spread around the native peoples, the Europeans did not contract the disease because they were immune. However, since the natives were not immune, they slowly died of due just to the disease as well as some parts of the war between the europeans.
