If round pea shape is dominant to wrinkled pea shape, which of the following genotypes
Kobotan [32]

Answer:

C. rr

Explanation:

The dominant genotype will always be denoted by the capital version, or in this case R.

The round pea shape is dominant to the wrinkled pea shape, which means that, in the Punnett Square, the combinations of RR, Rr, rR, will all come out to be round pea shape.

The last box, rr, would be the one that gives the wrinkled phenotype.

In this case, by ratio, wrinkled phenotype show up 25%

                    by ratio, round phenotype show up 75%.

Which of the following are thought to be most closely related to humans?
Oxana [17]

The correct answer is: sea stars

All animals listed above are invertebrates. One of the characteristic of invertebrates are that they are protostomes with the exception of Echinodermata (sea stars). The difference between protostomes and deuterostomes is in their embryonic development (orgin of mouth and anus).

In protostomes the mouth forms first: the oral end of the animal develops from the first developmental opening. On the other hand in deuterostomes the first opening (the blastopore) becomes the anus, and the oral end of the develops from the second opening.

Humans are also deuterostomes.
