Answer:

e. Epistatic interaction of the two genes

Explanation:

The 9:7 ratio is typical of the Duplicate Recessive Epistasis.

The expected phenotypic ratiio of the offsrping of a dihybrid cross is:

9 A_B_

3 A_bb

3 aaB_

1 aabb

In the Duplicate Recessive Epistasis, the A_bb, aaB_ and aabb individuals all have the same phenotype, making for the ratio 9:7. What those three genotypes have in common is that in all of them at least one of the two genes  is homozygous recessive (either <em>aa</em> or <em>bb</em>).

This usually happens one the products of genes A and B are enzymes of the same metabolic pathway.

Whenever both A and B are present, the pathway can produce the final product and a certain phenotype. However, if any of the dominant alleles is missing, the enzyme is not produced and therefore the final product of pathway is not produced, giving the other phenotype.

Which of the following is an example of a biotic factor?
coldgirl [10]

Answer:

The shrimp population in a bay

Explanation:

Biotic factors are the living component of an ecosystem. These include the plants and animals that inhabit the area. The rest of the choices are the abiotic factors which describe the non-living component of an ecosystem. Abiotic and biotic factors are interrelated and together help to form an ecosystem and biome.

Which of the following statements is true of asexual reproduction?
Alex73 [517]
<span>Asexual reproduction produces offspring that are genetically identical to a single parent. The offspring may either bud from the parent or by fission. An example of this is Baker’s yeast. They are produced by budding. So as the small bud grows from the parent, it receives the same nucleus of the parent. When it pinches off from the parent, it is smaller but is genetically similar to the parent. On the other hand sexual reproduction involves two parents that contribute to the genetic material in order to produce a unique offspring. Your answer is incorrect. The correct answer is letter B.</span>

When glucose molecules are broken down, energy is released, and carbon dioxide and water are produced. What is this process call
Tcecarenko [31]
Hi there!

This process is known as cellular respiration. It is essential for all living to survive because it allows aerobic organisms to convert food into energy - without cellular respiration, we would not be able to produce energy, making it impossible to perform bodily functions that are important for life. 

The word equation for cellular respiration is:
Glucose (energy) + Oxygen + Water ⇒ Carbon Dioxide + Water 

The balanced chemical equation for cellular respiration is: C₆H₁₂O₆+6O₂+6H₂O⇒6CO₂+12H₂O

Hope this helps!
