Answer:
The correct answer would be:
- Genotype ratio: 1 (PP) : 2 (Pp) : 1 (pp)
- Phenotypic ratio: 3 (polka-dot tails) : solid colored tail
The genotype of both parents is Pp (heterozygous).
Thus, both the parent would produce two types of gametes which are P and p.
The cross would result in the production of offspring with three types of genotype PP, Pp, and pp in 1:2:1.
Offspring with PP and Pp will have a polka-dotted tail as it is the dominant trait.
Thus, the phenotype ratio would be 3 (polka-dotted tail) : 1 (solid colored tail).
Answer:
No. Viruses are not living organisms.
Explanation:
Viruses are not living things. Viruses are complicated assemblies of molecules, including proteins, nucleic acids, lipids, and carbohydrates, but on their own they can do nothing until they enter a living cell. Without cells, viruses would not be able to multiply. Therefore, viruses are not living things.
