A brown heterozygous rabbit is an animal hat has two different alleles ("B" & "b" are different. One is capital (dominant), and one is lowercase (recessive). a homozygous white rabbit would be someone who has the same alleles. For example, it could have two capital B's (BB) or two lowercase b's. However since we know white fur is recessive and the rabbit is showing recessive WHITE fur, we would represent it as two little b's.

Let's set up our punnett square by drawing a square or box


Then, divide the box up into four equal squares inside the box.

Now, we are going to put our genotypes (Bb & bb) above the box and on the left side ( as shown in the picture.

You cross them kind of like cross multiplying. Remember, the capital B always comes first when needed.

THERE'S YOUR PUNNETT SQUARE! Let's solve the problems.

1.
Genotype is the genetic code. (Ex: Bb, VV, rr)
Phenotype on the other hand is the physical trait (brown fur, blue eyes, rolling your tounge)

So the genotypes of the new generation are Bb & bb

While the phenotypes are brown fur and white fur. Remember, the dominant trait always covers up the recessive. For example, Bb. The rabbit would take brown fur but could give white fur to her offspring because she has a recessive trait for white fur. However, bb would give the rabbit white fur since there is no dominant trait to cover up the recessive.

2.
50% of the rabbit are going to be brown and 50% of the rabbits are going to be white.

This is because the recessive gene isn't covered up by a dominant trait for 50% of the rabbits (bb) but the other 50% will have brown fur because the dominant trait is covering it up.

Hope that clears everything up about punnett squares. Good luck! (:

Suggest why captopril or other ACE inhibitors might fail to lower a patient's blood pressure?
rjkz [21]

Answer:

Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors are commonly prescribed to treat high blood pressure, heart problems and other conditions. Find out how they work and their possible side effects.

Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors help relax veins and arteries to reduce blood pressure. ACE inhibitors prevent an enzyme in your body from producing angiotensin II, a substance that narrows your blood vessels. This narrowing can cause high blood pressure and force the heart to work harder. Angiotensin II also releases hormones that raise blood pressure.

In addition to high blood pressure, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors prevent, treat or improve symptoms in conditions such as the following:

Coronary artery disease

Heart failure

Diabetes

Certain chronic kidney diseases

Heart attacks

Scleroderma: a disease that involves hardening of the skin and connective tissues

Migraines

The doctor may prescribe other medications in addition to an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor, such as a diuretic or a calcium antagonist. Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors should not be taken together with angiotensin receptor blockers or with direct renin inhibitors.

Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors work better for younger people than for older people. They also work better for white people than for black people. The doctor may recommend a different medication.

In the state of washington, the prevailing winds blow eastward off the ocean and up and over two mountain ranges. biologists are
stepan [7]
The fern should be found on the west side of the mountain ranges at higher elevations because the prevailing winds are from the west off the Pacific Ocean so bring moisture in the clouds and as the clouds rise up over the westernmost mountains they cool off and precipitate so in the warm seasons rain would be concentrated in this area and higher up would be cooler.

Which energy pyramid cannot be inverted?
KIM [24]
A pyramid of energy can never be inverted because energy decreases by tenfold each level. This can't be reversed because energy can't just increase by tenfold. It has to come from somewhere.
