you'll see that there are 2 layers (bi- means 2) of the yellow things (the round heads are hydrophilic and the tails are hydrophobic and face each other), hence the name lipid bilayer

If a cross for widow’s peak was conducted between a homozygous dominant and a heterozygote, it is expected that all organisms of
ehidna [41]

Answer:

be genotypically different

Explanation:

  • Widow's peak is an example of a dominantly inherited trait, this means that any individual who receives even a single copy of the dominant allele would have a widow's peak present in the phenotype.
  • In the given question, the cross is made between a homozygous dominant individual (let the genotype be WW) and a heterozygote (Genotype Ww).
  • The cross can be represented as follows :

WW X Ww ----> WW Ww Ww WW

From the cross it can be seen that the<em> offsprings will have the genotype of either WW or Ww</em>, however, since W is dominant over w, the phenotype will always be the presence of widow's peak.
