Gray rabbits would be eliminated by predators

Answer:

Gray rabbits would be eliminated by predators.

Explanation:

Camouflage is a defense mechanism in which a prey blends with the color of its background so that it could evade a possible attack by its predator. In the area described in this question, the black rabbits will not be easily visible to the predator because of the presence of black rocks while light stones will provide aegis to white rabbits. But, due to the lack of any grey background in the area, grey rabbits will be easily visible to the predators as a result of which they will be eliminated from the area.

Describe an experiment you could perform to determine whether the pink flowers of a petunia plant result from incomplete dominan
RUDIKE [14]

Incomplete dominance is an exception to Mendelian principles of genetics. The pink flowers of a petunia plant result from incomplete dominance and this has been experimentally determined.

The crossing between petunia plants shows an exception to Mendel’s principles. As a result of crossing the first generation homozygous petunia plants, some alleles of the first cross generation of the petunia flowers were in between the two dominant alleles which meant they were neither dominant nor recessive to the characteristics.

The F1 generation produced by a crossing the red-flowered (RR) plants and the white-flowered (WW) petunia plants consisted of pink-coloured flowers (RW) as the first progeny. Neither of the allele was dominant here. The cases where one allele does not completely dominate another are known as incomplete dominance. The heterozygous phenotype is supposed to occur between the two homozygous phenotypes in incomplete dominance. Phenotype refers to the colour here and genotype is a representation of alleles.

The representation of the genotypes is as follows:

White coloured dominant parent petunia plant: WW

Red coloured dominant parent petunia plant: RR

The colours white and red are the phenotypes and WW or RR is the genotype of parental alleles.

When the red and white flowered petunia plants were true breaded which means the red and white flowered petunia plants had red and white colour as their dominant characteristic and they were homozygous.

The result that was seen of this true breeding was heterozygous pink flowered petunia plants in the F1 generation. The pink colour phenotype of the flowers was an intermediate between the two dominant red and white coloured petunia flowers. This meant that the allele for the red flowers were incompletely dominant over the white flowers giving rise to pink flowers.

The genotype of the pink coloured petunia flowers as well as the corresponding phenotype can be represented by the Punnet squares.

What determines the shape of a snow crystal?
anzhelika [568]
A snow crystal appears when water vapor in the air converts directly into ice without first becoming liquid water. ... The exact shape of the final snow crystal is determined by the precise path it took through the clouds. But the six arms all took the same path, and so each experienced the same changes at the same times.

What are some abiotic factors that might effect some biotic factors
Stels [109]

Answer:    An abiotic factor is a non-living factor that influences and resides in an environment. So, things like weather, temperature, and humidity are considered abiotic factors, while things like predators are considered biotic factors.
