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.)

Answer:

The ear length will be 11 cm.

Explanation:

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.

What is the same about the electronic structures of lithium and sodium?
Sedaia [141]

Answer:

Sodium and lithium are in the same group of the periodic table; this is because they both have the same number of electrons in their outer shell (1 as indicted by the group number). this commonality is the reason they have similar chemical properties. As we go down the group however, the electronic structure of atoms of an element changes as that there are a increasing numbers of ‘shells’.

Electron ‘shells’ are filled according to ruled of quantum mechanics however to simplify things in this case the first shell can fit 2 electron, the second 8, and the third shell 8. Lithium has 3 electrons, hence it the first shell is filled, and 1 electron occupies the second shell. Whilst Sodium has 11 electrons, hence its first two shells are filled and the third shell is occupied by one electron.

To expand on this question, the duet/octet rule is a rule in quantum mechanics that observes that main group elements tend to be stable with a full outer shell.

This explains why sodium and lithium is found in the form of Li+ and Na+ ions in nature.

What are hydrogen bonds and how do they affect the physical characteristics of water?
Kobotan [32]

Explanation:

A hydrogen bond is a common type of chemical bond in organisms. As the name suggests, this type of bond involves a hydrogen atom. The hydrogen is attracted to a strongly electronegative atom, such as oxygen, fluorine, or nitrogen of a polar covalent bond in the same or another molecule.

This gives water unique properties, such as a relatively high boiling point, high specific heat, cohesion, adhesion and density.

Answer:

Well, where are you? It's probably because we're all under quarantine. Social distancing sucks, you start to go crazy being alone. I'm sure it's just because you can't go do things or interact with people.
