Suppose that a dominant allele (P) codes for a polka-dot tail and a recessive allele (p) codes for a solid colored tail. If two

heterozygous individuals with polka-dot tails mate, what's the probability of the phenotype and genotype combinations of the offspring?
A. 50 percent chance of a polka-dot tail and 50 percent chance of a solid colored tail (50 percent PP; 50 percent pp)
B. 75 percent chance of a polka-dot tail and 25 percent chance of a solid colored tail (75 percent Pp; 25 percent pp)
C. 75 percent chance of a polka-dot tail and 25 percent chance of a solid colored tail (25 percent PP; 50 percent Pp; 25
percent pp)
D. 25 percent chance of a polka-dot tail and 75 percent chance of a solid colored tail (25 percent PP; 50 percent Pp; 25
percent pp)

P p
_______
P | PP | Pp |
_______
p | Pp | pp |
_______

There is...
Genotype (genetics)
25% chance homozygus polkadot. (PP)
25% chance homozygus solid (pp)
50% chance heterozygus polkadot. (Pp)

Phenotype (physical trait)
75% chance polkadot
25% chance solid.

The answer: C


*sorry the punnett square is so weird looking :) i hope this was helpful.

How does crossing over result in diversity within a species?
mestny [16]

Crossing over, or recombination, is the exchange of chromosome segments between nonsister chromatids in meiosis. Crossing over creates new combinations of genes in the gametes that are not found in either parent, contributing to genetic diversity.

Hope it helps

Anastasy [175]

2 geological features of Florida state making it fragile is the Everglades and its bio-diverse nature.

Explanation:

The Florida state is one of three Everglades in the world to be marked as such due to its tendency of being in drought condition all the time due its draining capacity and location in its southernmost parts.

The other environmental condition which the state faces, is the bio-diverse nature of the state. It has endangered species population of cougar. It has been marked as the protected area for the panther species. Alligators too have been listed in the state for the endangered kind. Rest fills up the circuity of the state.

If we removed the decomposers from this food web, how would it affect the balance of the ecosystem? A.)There would be an increas
Ymorist [56]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

The dead matter from organisms such as plants and animals that die need to be recycled so the nutrients in the matter are released and used up by other organisms. This is how sustainability is achieved in ecosystems through a cyclical nature of nutrients flow. Decomposition of the dead matter is done by decomposers such as fungi and bacteria. Without them, the dead matter would accumulate while the soil would lack nutrients for plants to grow and for other bacteria to utilize for energy. This would affect the rest of the food chain/web causing the ecosystem to collapse.
