Answer:
Considering the <u>whole progeny</u> (100%), there will be
- 25% Black male kittens, XBY
- 0% Calico Male kittens
- 25% Calico female kittens, XBXR
Explanation:
<u>Available data:</u>
- The gene for Calico (multicolored) cats is an x-linked trait and codominant
- Calico Females receive a "B" and an "R" gene, and have black and orange splotches on white coats. Their genotype is XBXR.
- Males can only be black or orange, but never calico. Their genotype is XBY and XRY
Cross: a female calico cat with a black male
Parentals) XBXR x XBY
Gametes) XB XR XB Y
Punnett square) XB XR
XB XBXB XBXR
Y XBY XRY
F1) Among the whole progeny:
- 2/4 = 50% will be black (female XBXB and male XBY)
- 1/4 = 25% will be Calico (female XBXR)
- 1/4 = 25% will be Orange (male XRY)
Among females:
- 1/2 = 50% of females will be black, XBXB
- 1/2 = 50% of females will be Calico, XBXR
Among males:
- 1/2 = 50% of males will be black, XBY
- 1/2 = 50% of males will be orange, XRY
Asexual reproduction only requires one organism. It is normally faster and that’s how organisms make more in a short amount of time. Sexual reproduction uses 2 organisms and it gives the baby more diversity so it can adapt to the environment.
Answer:
100% or 1
Explanation:
This question involves a gene coding for fur color in bears. According to the question, black fur allele (B) is dominant over the brown fur allele (b). This means that a bear heterozygous for fur color (Bb) will be phenotypically black.
In this question, a black father bear (genotype BB) and a brown mother bear (genotype bb) were crossed, the baby bears will all have a genotype Bb (see punnet square in the attached image). Since all the offsprings of this cross have genotype Bb, this means that 100% will have black fur.
The flooding of half part of the forest have successful separate the population of frogs in that ecosystem into two different set of frogs. This is an example of allopatric speciation, that is, the population become separated as a result of geographical barrier. This separation will make the two set of frog population to become new species. On the long run, the two species may become unable to relate sexually.
