Hello.

Basically both operate by bouncing tiny particles or waves off of objects in order to make them visible. Electrons are smaller than light photons so we can see smaller objects clearly with electron microscopes. There are disadvantages though. First, color is a function of light wave frequency so we can't see electron micrographs in color. Color can be added artificially though by computer to differentiate structures, (think photoshop). Also, we cannot see electrons so we make them visible by bouncing them off a cathode ray screen similar to a TV set or computer monitor.

Have a nice day

Answer:

c. 16 black rabbits, 0 white rabbits, 0 gray rabbits.

Explanation:

Let dominant black allele be = B

Let recessive white allele be = b

True breeding rabbit would mean that they are homozygous in their genotype hence true breeding black rabbit will be BB and true breeding white rabbit will be bb.

BB X bb :

B B

b Bb Bb

All the offspring are heterozygous with one dominant B allele so the phenotype black colour will be produced and all 16 individuals of F1 generation will be black in colour.
