What could cause an igneous rock to become soil?

Troyanec [42]

The choices can be found elsewhere and as follows:

a. Increased temperature and pressure
b. Melting and crystallization
c. Exposure and weathering 
d. All of the above

I believe the correct answer is option C. It would be Exposure and weathering that would cause an igneous rock to become soil. Weathering breaks rock down into small particles which are carried away by erosion and deposited somewhere, sometimes creating very verdant soils.

An additional gene, gene W, was also examined. A test cross was made between true-breeding EEWW flies and EEWW flies. The result

Debora [2.8K]

This question is incorrect but here is the correct question below;

An additional gene,gene W was also examined. a test cross was made between true breeding EEWW flies and eeww flies. The resulting F₁ generation was then crossed with eeww flies. 100 offspring in the F₂ generation were examined and it was discovered that the E and W genes were not linked.

Which is the correct genotype of the F₂ offspring if the genes were linked and if the genes were not linked?

a) Linked: 50% EeWw and 50% eeww; not linked: 25% EeWw, 25% Eeww, 25% eeWw and 25% eeww.

b) Linked: 25% Eeww, 50% eeWw; not linked:parental genotypes EeWw and eeww.

c) Linked genotypes (EeWw and eeww) and recombinant genotype ( Eeww & eeWw) in the F₂ generation are nearly the same irrespective of their linkage.

d) Linked: mostly with parental genotypes, Eeww and eeWw; unlinked: 25% EeWw and eeww with 75% Eeww and eeWw.

Answer:

a) Linked: 50% EeWw and 50% eeww; not linked: 25% EeWw, 25% Eeww, 25% eeWw and 25% eeww.

Explanation:

a test cross was made between true breeding EEWW flies and eeww flies

If EEWW self crossed, we have the following ( EW, EW, EW, EW)

Also, for eeww, we have ( ew, ew, ew, ew)

EW EW EW EW

ew EWew EWew EWew EWew

All offspring are (EWew)

The question goes further by saying "The resulting F₁ generation was then crossed with eeww flies".

And we are asked to find the correct genotype of the F₂ offspring if the genes were linked and if the genes were not linked

∴

To determine the offsprings of the linked genes we need to go by the definition and understand what linked genes are: Linked genes are genes that are physically close together on the same chromosomes. Effect of recombinantion on linked genes, results in gene swaps which occur in chromosomes that are homologous.

Having said that; If EWew × eeww

we have; EW & ew × ew & ew

EW ew

ew EeWw eeww

offspring that

are linked in ⇒ EeWw EeWw & eeww eeww

F₂ will be

$\frac{1}{2}$ = 50% of EeWw of the total 100 offspring in the F₂ cross

$\frac{1}{2}$ = 50% of eeww of the total 100 offspring in the F₂ cross

∴ Linked genes = 50% EeWw and 50% eeww.

For unlinked genes; If EWew × eeww

if rearrangement occurs in EWew and EWew self crossed, we have ( EW,Ew,eW,ew) as the traits needed for the unlinked gene F₂ crossing.

Also ewew will be (ew, ew, ew, ew).

EW Ew eW ew

ew EeWw Eeww eeWw eeww

We have the following results for the unlinked genes

$\frac{1}{4}$ = EeWw 25% of the total 100 offspring in the F₂ cross

$\frac{1}{4}$ = Eeww 25% of the total 100 offspring in the F₂ cross

$\frac{1}{4}$ = eeWw 25% of the total 100 offspring in the F₂ cross

$\frac{1}{4}$ = eeww 25% of the total 100 offspring in the F₂ cross

∴ not linked: 25% EeWw, 25% Eeww, 25% eeWw and 25% eeww.

What percentage of the offspring will be homozygous recessive?

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

I n the F1 generation, there will be no recessive offspring but in the F2 generation there is a 25% of offspring being recessive.

You can find more info about percentages by observing images. called Punnett Squares.

Hope it helped,

Describe how desertification has impacted the environment of Latin America

Harrizon [31]

Desertification is the cancer of the earth,” Argentine geographer Elena Abraham told IPS. “It is a process of degradation that does not manifest itself in spectacular ways but furtively advances, and by the time it is visible there is nothing to be done, and people have to move away, in search of an alternative.”
