<span>1. Heterozygous black rabbit will have genotype Bb</span>

2. If a heterozygous black rabbit and a brown rabbit were crossed:

The offspring will be:

Bb Bb bb bb

Which means that half of them will be black and half brown (50%).

Answer:

1. Bb

2. 1/2

Explanation:

The cross in this question involves a single gene that codes for fur colour in rabbits. According to the question, black fur is dominant to brown fur. This means that the allele for black fur (B) will mask the expression of brown fur allele (b) in the gene.

1. HETEROZYGOUS means that the organism contains a combination of the two different alleles (black and brown alleles in this case). Hence, the genotype of a rabbit heterozygous for this gene will be Bb. Since black allele (B) is dominant over brown allele (b), the black fur colour will be expressed phenotypically.

2. In a cross between a heterozygous black rabbit (Bb) and a brown rabbit. Note that, the brown rabbit will have a homozygous genotype (bb) since it will only be expressed in a homozygous state. Hence, rabbit parents Bb and bb will be crossed to produce four possible offsprings viz: Bb, Bb, bb and bb

Two of the offsprings are heterozygous black while the other two are brown. Hence, the probability that their offspring will be brown is 2/4 equivalent to 1/2

Answer:

the answer is c.

oceanic acidification is occurring, which results in shelled creatures, clams, lobster, to have weaker shells as a defense. the shells break easily and are too weak to protect the organisms inside, unable to properly calcify their shells leaves them vulnerable to preditors...

What chemical compounds are in a sunflower?

ASHA 777 [7]

Answer: The major components of the sunflower seed hull, lipids, proteins and carbohydrates.

Explanation: The major components of the sunflower seed hull, lipids, proteins and carbohydrates were studied Lipids represent 5.17% of the total hull weights, 2.96% of which is wax composed of long chain fatty acids (C14–C28, mainly C20) and fatty alcohols (C12–C30, mainly C22, C24, C26).

Why is scientific knowledge more reliable than other types of knowledge?

RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

D. Because science only uses facts that are proven 100% true through the use of variables.

Explanation:

All the knowledge we read is science books are not merely some observed facts but the result of a systematic scientific methodology through which facts are tested. Science only gives us that knowledge as facts which is proven 100% true through the use of variables.For example: if a scientist has studied the effect of salt stress on the growth of plants and he got the results in form of graphs which show that growth of salt treated plants in very less than normal plants. Then he needs to draw conclusion after consulting relevant previous experiments and say that salt stress hinders growth and why? with reasonable logic.

Variables are the things hat he changes like environmental conditions in previous example to see that in changed conditions plant is showing changed behavior. This way a scientist strengthens his results. Therefore, we can say that whatever knowledge we get through science is proven 100% true through the use of variables.

Hope it helps!

A poison added to an in vitro translation mixture containing mRNA molecules with the sequence 5′-AUGAAAAAAAAAAAAUAA-3′ has the f

kipiarov [429]

Answer:

The correct answer is c it inhibits the movement of small subunit relative to the large subunit.

Explanation:

According to the question the the poison that is added in vitro translation mixture containing mRNA molecules specific sequence result in formation of Met-lys dipeptide that remains attached to the ribosome.

This means the translocation step that deals with movement of smaller subunit of ribosome to the next codon(Here to the third codon) is blocked.
