Answer:

Fur colour can be represented by both the dominant and the recessive alleles of the gene encoding the fur color.

Explanation:

Considering that the fur colour trait follows Mendelian laws of inheritance.

The dominant allele can express itself in both the homozygous and heterozygous condition.
The recessive allele can represent itself only in the homozygous condition.
Therefore, there will be two phenotypes, one will be represented by both the homozygous dominant and heterozygous dominant genotypes and the other represented by the homozygous recessive genotype.

Considering that the fur colour trait does not follows Mendelian laws of inheritance (Incomplete Dominance or Codominance).

In Incomplete dominance, three phenotypes are observed, for each of homozygous dominant, heterozygous dominant and homozygous recessive genotypes respectively.
In Codominance, phenotypes of both the dominant and recessive genotype is shown in the same individual.

Answer: The action cytoskeleton structure is dynamic.

Explanation: Actin cytoskeleton is a dynamic structure necessary for cell and tissue organization, including the maintenance of epithelial barriers. The epithelial barriers are necessary to maintain barriers, the disruption of the epithelial barrier coincides with alterations of the actin cytoskeleton in several disease states. Primarily these disruptions affect the paracellular space, that is normally regulated by tight junctions. The actin cytoskeleton is a usual target of bacterial virulence factors. Bacteria secrete and inject toxins and effectors to hijack the host cell machinery, in order to manipulate the action cytoskeleton, which interferes with host-cell pathways and with a number of actin binding proteins.

Two organisms with genotype aabbccddee mate. These loci are all independent. What fraction of the offspring will have the same g

UNO [17]

Answer:

100%

Explanation:

The given parental genotype is homozygous for all the genes. According to the given information, both the parents are homozygous for five genes and have genotype "aabbccddee". Since both the parents are homozygous for all the loci, meiosis during gamete formation would result in the formation of all same types of gametes from both the parents.

Both the parents will form all the gametes with an "abcde" genetic constitution. The random fusion of gametes with a given genotype will form all the progeny with genotype "aabbccddee". Therefore, the given parents will produce 100% genetically identical progeny to them.
