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.

What does the 4th amendment protect against
dangina [55]

Fourth Amendment case law deals with three main issues: what government activities are "searches" and "seizures," what constitutes probable cause to conduct searches and seizures, and how violations of Fourth Amendment rights should be addressed. Early court decisions limited the amendment's scope to physical intrusion of property or persons, but with Katz v. United States (1967), the Supreme Court held that its protections extend to intrusions on the privacy of individuals as well as to physical locations. A warrant is needed for most search and seizure activities, but the Court has carved out a series of exceptions for consent searches, motor vehicle searches, evidence in plain view, exigent circumstances, border searches, and other situations.

zalisa [80]

Answer:

Explanation:

The primates have a hand feature which increases their fitness in the tree environment are the opposable thumbs. The thumbs are the broadest digit of the hand. The thumb can move in different directions in comparison to the other digits of the hand. This is an advantage in primates to hold and grasp the objects with their hands.

The monkeys climbing on the trees grasp the branches of trees to move from one tree to another.
