Suppose that ear length in rabbits is controlled by two additive genes, each of which has two alleles. A true-breeding female (a
abb) with 6-cm ears is mated to a true-breeding male (AABB) with 16-cm ears. Predict the ear length of the F1 generation. (Note: Assume that each allele contributes equally to ear length, and the genes segregate independently. Also assume that environmental influence on ear length is negligible.)
To know about the ear length of F1 generation, we need to know that how much length in centimeters is contributed by each of the alleles. As we know, each allele has the same value for contributing to the effect of ear length, hence we can divide the ear length by 4 to get our results.
As 6 divided by 4 is 1.5 hence, the allele a and b contribute to 1.5 cm of the length of the ear.
6 divided by 4 is 4, hence the alleles And B contribute to 4 cm of the length of the ear.
The F1 generation will have AaBb genotype hence, the lenght will be 4+1.5+4+1.5 = 11 cm.
You'd want to examine homologous structures in fossil remains. This can give a geologic time scale of evolution within certain fossil groups. ... Fossil evidence can give a general timeline for the common ancestor or origin or homologous structures as well as how they have changed since then.
Photosynthesis makes the glucose that is used in cellular respiration to make ATP. The glucose is then turned back into carbon dioxide, which is used in photosynthesis. ... While photosynthesis requires carbon dioxide and releases oxygen, cellular respiration requires oxygen and releases carbon dioxide.
