Which description is an example of a phenotype?

pentagon [3]

The correct answer is D. Both A and C

Explanation:

In biology, a phenotype refers to a trait or characteristic that is observable in an organism, including physical characteristics, physiological characteristics, and behavioral characteristics. The phenotype is the result of the expression of genes or environmental factors. Considering this, both "a certain duck has a blue beak" and "most cheetahs live solitary lives" are phenotypes because they are traits that can be observed in terms of morphology or physical characteristics in the case of the duck or in terms of behavior in the case of the cheetah. On the other hand, a mutation is not necessarily a phenotype except if it is expressed.

If individual 1 in generation had the same phenotype as his wife ,what are the chances that There children would have rickets

PIT_PIT [208]

By taking a glance at the pedigree we can see that rickets transmission is not autosomal but instead it is x linked recessive.
Without wasting time look at the no of offspring of 1 that is 4 since two out of four have rickets then the chances of having rickets by method of probability is 1/2

Please mark me as brainliest.

22. A plant geneticist is investigating the inheritance of genes for bitter taste (Su) and explosive rind (e) in watermelon (Cit

mylen [45]

Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

Using the formula for calculating Chi square ( $X^2$ ):

$X^2$ = $\frac{(O - E)^2}{E}$ where O = observed frequency and E = expected frequency.

The observed frequencies for the four phenotypes are 88, 62, 62, and 81 respectively.

For the expected frequency, the phenotypes are supposed to assort in 9:3:3:1 according to Mendel ratio.

Hence, expected frequencies are calculated as:

phenotype (1) = 9/16 x 293 = 164.81

phenotype (2) = 3/16 x 293 = 54.94

phenotype (3) = 3/16 x 293 = 54.94

phenotype (4) = 1/16 x 293 = 18.31

The $X^2$ is calculated thus:

Phenotype O E $X^2$

1 88 164.81 $\frac{(88 - 164.81)^2}{164.81}$ = 35.80

2 62 54.94 $\frac{(62 - 54.94)^2}{54.94}$ = 0.91

3 62 54.94 $\frac{(62 - 54.94)^2}{54.94}$ = 0.91

4 81 18.31 $\frac{(81 - 18.31)^2}{18.31}$ = 214.64

Total $X^2$ = 35.80 + 0.91 + 0.91 + 214.64 = 252.26

To the nearest tenth = 252

Degree of freedom = n - 1 = 4- 1 = 3

$X^2$ tabulated = 7.815

<em>The calculated </em> $X^2$ <em> exceeds the critical value, hence, the null hypothesis is rejected. The two genes did not assort independently. </em>

How does deforestation affect the water cycle? A. It increases the amount of percolation. B. It increases the amount of transpir

netineya [11]

The best option for this question is: '<span>It increases the amount of runoff</span>'. Plant life acts as a barrier to the overland flow of water, thereby slowing the flow and allowing increased infiltration of water into the soil. Deforestation and overgrazing are major contributors to erosion, as plants act to bind the soil, and their removal allows the combination of looser soil and increased runoff to move masses of sediment into rivers and lakes. Deforestation will in fact decrease transpiration and percolation and precipitation rather than increase them.
