Duroc Jersey pigs are typically red, but a sandy variation is also seen. When two different varieties of true-breeding sandy pig

s were crossed to each other, they produced F1 offspring that were red. When these F1 offspring were crossed to each other, they produced red, sandy, and white pigs in a 9:6:1 ratio. Explain this pattern of inheritance in terms of number of genes, and any allele or gene interactions.

Answer:

The sandy variation could be as a result of a homozygous recessive allele at one of two varying genes in these two different types of sandy pigs. Let's refer to them as genes A and B.

A kind of sandy pig may be aaBB and the variety AAbb. The F1 generation in this cross produces heterozygotes for both genes to give all red. This indicates that the A and B alleles are dominant. In the F2 generation, 6 out of 16 give us homozygous for either the aa or bb alleles and produces sandy.

Out of 16 will we have one that would be doubly homozygous and be white. The other 9 will possess at least one dominant allele for both genes.

Bacteria are classified into five groups according to their basic shapes: spherical (cocci), rod (bacilli), spiral (spirilla), comma (vibrios) or corkscrew (spirochaetes). They can exist as single cells, in pairs, chains or clusters. Bacteria are found in every habitat on Earth: soil, rock, oceans and even arctic snow.

Why rhizoids not called roots?
garik1379 [7]
Most plants have roots, but there are some
exceptions. The exceptions are bryophytes
and the groups of green algae that are
classified as plants. Bryophytes have rootlike
structures called rhizoids for absorbing
water, but because rhizoids lack vascular
tissue they are not considered roots.

1. The graph shows the world human population size and growth rate over time. How are the two sets of data related to each other
Margaret [11]

The two datasets show the sudden increase in population since the millennium.

<h3>What is the comparison between the data?</h3>

Human population growth has been a matter of concern for several years. It is a known fact that human population has been growing at an unsustainable rate since the millennium especially in developing countries.

Essentially when we talk about the population of a place we talk about the number of people that live in that place. The more the number of people in a place the greater the population of a place and population have been increasing at astronomical rate in recent times.

Looking at the datasets, we can see that, the rate of population growth since sine the 1960s has increased so much and this is quite unsustainable and somehow accounts for the population explosion that is recently occurring in many parts of the world and is leading to many intervention programs.
