In horses, black color (B) is dominant over chestnut color (b). Find the genotype and phenotype ratios of a cross between a hybr

id black horse and a chestnut horse. What is the probability that the offspring will be chestnut color?​

Answer:

Phenotype: 2:2 or 1:1 / Genotype: 2:2 or 1:1 / 50% probability for chestnut color

Explanation:

If we put the two horses' genotypes in a Punnett square:

         <u> B          b</u>

<u>b</u>        Bb        bb

<u>b</u>        Bb        bb

The phenotype is describing the ending color of the offspring, where 2 of the 4 will be brown (Bb) and 2 of the 4 will be chestnut (bb), resulting in a 2:2 ratio. Genotype only refers to the alleles, where 2 of the 4 will be hybrid (Bb) and 2 of the 4 will be homozygous recessive (bb), again resulting in a 2:2 ratio. There is only a 50% chance that the offspring's phenotype will be chestnut color (bb) because the chestnut allele is recessive.

How specifies that are separated for a river, rocks, mountains, forest ; can at some point not being able to interbreed anymore
Allushta [10]

Answer:

Species separated by a physical barrier for a long time, suffer allopatric speciation, so they can not interbreed anymore.

Explanation:

Allopatric speciation consists of the geographic separation of a continuous genetic background giving place to two or more new geographically isolated populations. These separations might be due to migration, extinction of geographically intermediate populations, or geological events. In this speciation, some barriers impede genetic interchange, or genetic flow, as the two new populations that are separated can not get together and mate anymore. These barriers might be geographical or ecological.

Vicariance is the geographical separation of an original population into two or more new groups. Discontinuities in the physical environment like rivers, mountains, water, etc., are physical barriers that impede genetic flow between the separated groups.

The process of allopatric speciation involves different steps:  

  1. The emergence of the barrier.  
  2. Interruption in the genetic interchange
  3. The occurrence of new mutations and their accumulation in time in each population. Slow and gradual differentiation.
  4. Genetic divergence by natural selection and reproductive isolation makes it impossible for the two groups to mate even if the barrier disappears.  
  5. Prezigotic isolation mechanisms favored by selection once occurs a secondary contact between the new species in formation.

Ceruminous glands are ________. Ceruminous glands are ________. saliva glands found at the base of the tongue modified taste bud
kogti [31]

Answer:

Modified apocrine sweat glands

Explanation:

The ceruminous glands are similar to sebaceous glands, belonging to the group of sweat glands. These glands secrete a sticky material, the ear wax, that protects the thin skin lining the ear canal.

As soon as a dust, dirt or an insect enters the ear canal at the beginning of the ear wax, the wax retains, wraps and pushes it outside the ear canal.

This secretion is lubricating as well as acidic, which helps to kill potentially harmful bacteria and fungi in the ears.

How would a loss of chlorophyll most likely affect cellular respirtation in plant cells
Serhud [2]
With less chlorophyll the cells would be less capable of performing photosynthesis, and because of this, the cells would produce less glucose as a product. Furthermore, if all chlorophyll was lost, the plant would die.
