Answer:

a. blue and featherless

Explanation:

  • Feathers (F) are dominant to no feathers (f)
  • Blue body (B) is dominant to white body (b)

If we testcross a dihybrid, we are crossing a homozygous recessive individual with a heterozygous individual.

Recombination is a rare event in meiosis, so the more abundant offspring are always the parentals, and the less abundant offspring are the recombinant ones.

In this case, bf/bf and BF/bf are the parentals and Bf/bf and bF/bf are the recombinants.

The option a. Blue and featherless (Bf/bf) offspring are the recombinant babies.

What term describes the relatively constant internal physical conditions of an organism ?
netineya [11]

<span>The answer is homeostasis.</span>

<span>
</span>

<span>Homeostasis is a mechanism which controls internal conditions of an organism so that internal conditions remain stable without regard to the external conditions. So, it regulates body temperature, water level, sugar level, etc. It works through negative feedback mechanism. For example, if body temperature is increased, the body detects the change and activate mechanisms that decrease body temperature. Without homeostasis, the organisms could not survive.</span>
