Galapagos islands are groups of island in the pacific ocean that are known to have a wide range of native animals such as giant tortoise that found no where else on earth. These native animals helped Darwin in the development of the theory of natural significance which attributes to the biological significance of the Galapagos islands. Human species is a threat to the natural wildlife on these islands mainly due to poaching and destruction of natural forests that destroys habitat and also impacts negatively on biological diversity of living organisms.
The phenotype is - 75 % red and 25 %brown.
The genotype is hRhR - 25%
hBkhR - 50%
hBrhBk - 25%.
<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>
The cross given here is a simple dominant - recessive relationship between the three types of alleles of hair colour. The genes of this characteristics are present in autosomes, so will be segregated equally among all the sexes of the offsprings.
Now the genotype of auburn and red with black mother is given. So during gametogenesis, the gametes from the parents will be
Father - hBr and hR
Mother - hBk and hR
So, the probable combinations are hBrhBk, hBrhR and hBkhR.
The frequency of the combinations are 25%, 25% and 50% respectively.
The phenotypic ratio will be red : brown as 3:1.
Answer:
the answer is A. E. coli B
Explanation:
The multiplicity of infection (MOI) refers to the ratio between the numbers of viruses used to infect <em>E. coli</em> cells and the numbers of these <em>E. coli </em>cells. Benzer carried out several experiments in order to define the gene in regard to function. Benzer observed that <em>E. coli </em>strains with point mutations could be classified into two (2) complementary classes regarding coinfection using the restrictive strain as the host. With regard to his experiments, Benzer observed that rII1 and rII2 mutants (rapid lysis mutants) are complementary when they produce progeny after coinfect E. coli K (where neither mutant can lyse the host by itself). The rII group of mutants studied by Benzer does not produce plaques on <em>E. coli</em> K strains that carry phage λ (lysogenic for λ), but they produce plaques on <em>E. coli</em> B strains. This study showed that rIIA and rIIB are different genes and/or cistrons in the rII region.
