0%. The types of offspring could be QQ ,QQ ,Qq and Qq. Homozygous recessive is qq and that is not an option.

7 0

Answer: The correct answer is-

The percentage of the offspring that are expected to be homozygous recessive (qq) is 0 %.

As per the information given in the question, the genotypes of parent are-

Homozygous dominant ( QQ) and a heterozygous ( Qq).

Gametes produced are-  QQ parent will produce Q and Q gametes while Qq will produce Q ands q allele.

A dominant allele ( represented by capital letter such as Q) always masks the expression of recessive allele ( represented by small letter such as q)

Homozygous genotye has same alleles whereas heterozygous genotype contains different alleles ( one dominant and one recessive such as Qq).

When the parents are crossed, they will produce 50 % QQ and 50% Qq offsrping but no qq offspring will be produced

Refer punett square.

Can someone explain haploid and diploid to me? Please?
Sergio [31]
A haploid cell is a cell typically with half the number of chromosomes (a sex cell) used for reproduction.

A diploid cell is the opposite, a full set of chromosomes not intended for sexual reproduction but typically used in mitosis.

The circular folds of the small intestine enhance absorption by causing the chyme to spiral, rather than to move in a straight l
Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

The correct answer will be- true.

Explanation:

The small intestine is the longest part of the gastro-intestinal tract which helps in the absorption of nutrients from the digested food.

The structure of small intestine contains cell membrane extensions called villi and micro-villi which increases the surface area for absorption. The small intestine increases the food absorption by peristaltic movement of the food chyme. The small intestine causes the food chyme to form spirals which passes the food to large intestine.

Thus, true is the correct answer.

Define mass and explain how it affects an object's density.
Klio2033 [76]

Great Question! Mass is basically how heavy Something is. Most people confuse mass with weight but there very different from each other. Weight is the downward force something has because of gravity. Mass can be measured in a variety of units too. The second part of the question is how it affects density. It affects it because to find the density you need to be able to find the mass since the formula is Mass divided by volume. I hope this helped you understand a little bit more about mass. Have a great day!

Conventional genetic analyses of rrna sequences is not possible for prions because:_______
GrogVix [38]

Conventional genetic analyses of rRNA  sequence is not possible for prions because they don't contain nucleic acid.Prions do not contain genetic material such as - DNA and RNA.

The unique traits and genetic material information are encoded with the conformation structure and modification of protein.Prions which are responsible for transmissible sponginess encephalitis  is mammals which all known prion disease affect the neural tissues.

There are 253 amino acids exist in multiple conformations and isoform which is found in healthy organisms, most extensively studied proteins. Prions are not destroy easily and remains intact in the presence of radiation , disinfectant and extreme heat.
