Explanation:

The results are explained if the trait blue eyes is dominant (B) over non-blue (b) and the dominant allele B is lethal in homozygous individuals.

<u>The possible genotypes and phenotypes are:</u>

  • Homozygous dominant (BB): lethal
  • Heterozygous (Bb): blue eyes
  • Homozygous recessive (bb): non-blue eyes

When blue (Bb) is crossed with non-blue (bb) the resulting offspring is 1/2 blue (Bb) and 1/2 non-blue (bb).

When non-blues interbreed (bb X bb) all progeny is non-blue (bb).

Two characteristics about spiral galaxy and elliptical?
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

 Elliptical galaxies, such as M87  have very little gas and dust. ... Both the largest and the smallest known galaxies are elliptical. Very large elliptical galaxies can reach 300 million light years in diameter. Dwarf ellipticals, which are very common, may contain only 1/100,000th as many stars as the Milky Way!

 Most spiral galaxies contain a central bulge surrounded by a flat, rotating disk of stars. The bulge in the center is made up of older, dimmer stars, and is thought to contain a supermassive black hole. Approximately two-thirds of spiral galaxies also contain a bar structure through their center, as does the Milky Way.

The device sends sound waves to the bottom of the ocean and measures how long it takes for an echo to return.
