Complete question:
A geneticist crossed fruit flies to determine the phenotypic ratio. The geneticist crossed a fly with blistery wings and spineless bristles (bbss) with a heterozygous fly that had normal wings and normal bristles (BbSs). Which proportion of offspring that are dominant for both traits in would you not expect based on Mendel's law of independent assortment? 1/2 , 4/16, 25% , or 1/4
Answer:
1/2 is the proportion of the offspring that is NOT expected among individuals that are dominant for both traits.
4/16 = 1/4 = 25% of the progeny and the correct expected proportion of individuals that are dominant for both traits.
Explanation:
<u>Available data</u>:
- Cross: a fly with blistery wings and spineless bristles with a heterozygous fly that had normal wings and normal bristles
- Recessive trait: blistery wings and spineless bristles
- Dominant trait: normal wings and normal bristles
Let us say that:
- B is the dominant allele for normal wings
- b is the recessive allele for blistery wings
- S is the dominant allele for normal bristles
- s is the recessive allele for spineless bristles
Parentals) bbss x BbSs
Gametes) bs, bs, bs, bs BS, Bs, bS, bs
Punnett square) BS Bs bS bs
bs BbSs Bbss bbSs bbss
bs BbSs Bbss bbSs bbss
bs BbSs Bbss bbSs bbss
bs BbSs Bbss bbSs bbss
F1) 4/16 = 1/4 = 25% of the progeny is expected to be BbSs, dyhibrid individuals, expressing normal wings and normal bristles
4/16 = 1/4 = 25% of the progeny is expected to be Bbss, expressing normal wings and spineless bristles
4/16 = 1/4 = 25% of the progeny is expected to be bbSs, expressing blistery wings and normal bristles
4/16 = 1/4 = 25% of the progeny is expected to be bbss, expressing blistery wings and spineless bristles

Extra credit question
Earth is special because it is an ocean planet. Water covers 70 percent of Earth's surface. Earth's atmosphere is made mostly of nitrogen and has plenty of oxygen for us to breathe.There are multiple reasons for earth to be a special planet. Reasons are as follows
1.Earth is the only planet known where intelligent life exist.
2.It lies in the circumstellar habitable zone (CHZ). CHZ is defined in the image given below.
3. Earth has a unique magnetic field which protects the earth from the harmful solar winds. These solar winds played a role in transforming venus into hell.
4. Earth has Van Allen radiation belts which protects it from cosmic rays.
5. Our large neighbour Jupiter protects is from many comets and asteroids that come from the keiper belt and Oort cloud.
6. Earth's atmosphere is favorable to support life on earth. This atmosphere consists of different gases in adequate amount. If the percentage of gases would differ then life on earth may face serious consequences.
7. Tectonic plates of earth differentiates it from most other planets.
8. Earth has a solid crust unlike the gaseous planets.
9. Earth has been gifted with a medium sized star which release solar winds and protect us from the harmful radiation of outer space.

Explanation:
Answer: 5. Amoebocytes have a variety of functions: delivering nutrients from choanocytes to other cells within the sponge, giving rise to eggs for sexual reproduction (which remain in the mesohyl), delivering phagocytized sperm from choanocytes to eggs, and differentiating into more-specific cell types. 6. Sponges form symbiotic relationships with a variety of microorganisms, including bacteria and algae. A symbiotic relationship between organisms is a close ecological association between two species that may be mutually beneficial or may benefit one partner at the expense of the other. However, humans are still damaging sponge populations with weighted nets and even taut fishing lines, which can slice sponges apart by accident. As a rule, anything that can affect the ocean floor will have a negative impact on sponges, as they have never developed protection against impacts. brainliest??
