In rats, the allele for long whiskers is dominant to the allele for short whiskers. At another gene locus, a dominant allele pro

duces whiskers and the recessive allele produces a rat with no whiskers. The alleles at these 2 gene loci assort independently. If a rat that is homozygous for both recessive alleles is crossed with a rat that is heterozygous at both gene loci, what percentage of the offspring are expected to have short whiskers? ( Enter the number only without the percent sign. For example, enter 100% as 100 and enter 12.5% as 12.5 )

Answer:

25%

Explanation:

We have 2 independent genes with 2 alleles each: L/l and W/w

  • W_: whiskers
  • ww: no whiskers
  • L_: long whiskers
  • ll: short wiskers

Individuals with short whiskers will have the genotype <em>WWll </em>or <em>Wwll</em>.

<u>A cross between a rat heterozygous for both genes and a homozygous recessive rat is done:</u>

<h3>WwLl x wwll</h3>

-The homozygous rat will produce only <em>wl </em>gametes.

-The heterozygous rat will produce the following gametes: <em>WL</em>, <em>Wl</em>, <em>wL</em>, <em>wl</em>.

If you do a Punnett Square, you'll get that 25% of the offspring will be WwLl and will have short whiskers.

Can you explain how more life-forms were able to create because of cyanobacteria​ PLEASE HELP
Ainat [17]

The cyanobacteria changed the composition of the earth’s atmosphere by evolving oxygen in what is referred to as the Great Oxygenation Event. This also allowed the ozone to be formed and block off most of the UV rays that are destructive to genetic material. Life was, therefore, also able to exist on land other than in water.

Marianna [84]
The cavity of right ventricle is larger I believe. This is due for the fact that the left ventricle is thicker in muscle so may have a smaller cavity. I’ve also performed dissections lol.
