The Gajasimha in Indian mythology is a magical creature with the body of a lion and head of an elephant. A cross between a blue

female Gajasimha and a white male Gajasimha produces offspring that has blue and white fur. The color of a Gajasimha is determined by two alleles, HB for blue and HW for white.

Answer:

co-dominance inheritance

Explanation:

<em>The type of inheritance would be </em><em>co-dominance inheritance.</em>

<u>In co-dominance inheritance, the two alleles representing a gene exert equal effects on each other. Neither of the two alleles is recessive and both contribute equally to the physical expression of the gene. </u>

Co-dominance inheritance is quite unique from dominant/recessive inheritance. For dominant/recessive inheritance, one allele (the dominant allele) suppresses the expression of the other allele (the recessive allele).

In this case, the two alleles, HB and HW, that represent the alleles for blue and white fur colors respectively both contribute equally to the physical manifestation of the gene when they are together.

<em>HB HB will result in blue fur.</em>

<em>HW HW will result in white fur.</em>

<em>HB HW will result in blue and white fur in equal proportion.</em>

What is probability, and how is it used with Punnett squares to predict the outcomes of genetic crosses?
weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

Probability is the chance that a given event will occur. The principle of probability allows us to predict the possible combinations of phenotypes in a genetic cross by using a diagram called Punnett squares. This diagram represents alleles and gives us the genetic variations formed during a cross. For example, a flower has one dominant allele for a blue color, which is represented by capital T, and one recessive allele for a pink color, which is represented by small t. When this flower is crossed with another flowering plant with the same type of alleles, which is Tt, the combinations produced for their offspring includes TT, Tt, tT, and tt.

What process exerts the pull on water molecules that is relayed from leaf to root via cohesion? what process exerts the pull on
marissa [1.9K]

Evaporation of the water is the process that exerts the pull on water molecules that is relayed from leaf to root via cohesion. The pressure of the water present in the leaves becomes less due to evaporation of water. The pressure of water in the roots and lower part of the shoot is high. This gradient of pressure creates a pull on the water molecules present in the roots to move upwards to the leaves to occupy the vacant space. The whole process is called transpiration.

Cacti in the deserts of southwestern North America and some euphorbs of the deserts of Africa, have barrel-shaped stems, short-l
nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

       The right answer to this question is option D. Convergent evolution.

Explanation:

       Convergent evolution is a process defined by when an organism develops the same, or at least near that, characteristics, for a specific reason, but they don't have the same origin. In this case, the cacti in both deserts have pretty much the same characteristics, and this happens because both these plants need water to survive, and in order to save it, they have barrel-shaped stems, short-lived leaves, and spines. All of these things help them in saving the water and capturing it when it's possible.

        The convergent evolution is when both these organisms develop equally, but are not originally from the same place, the environment being the one to shape this.
