There are three types of seismic waves. These are classified on the basis of their penetration in the earth's surface and their arrival to seismographs. First are primary waves, which arrive first and penetrate the deepest. Then are the secondary waves, which penetrate less and arrive after primary waves. Finally are the surface waves, which do not penetrate the earth's surface and arrive the latest.

How many alleles does a baby guinea pig inherit from the mother?

Harman [31]

The amount of alleles that a baby Guinea pig inherit from the mother are two , 1 from its mother and 1 from its father ( The very reason why we use them as an experiment tester is because this similarities)
For Example, if its mother hat a dominant black fur (BB) and its father has recessive grey fur (bb) , there is 100% chance that the baby will has a Bb genotype, which will give them either black fur or dark grey fur.

A cell's digestive enzymes are closed in a membrane-bound organelle. How can these molecules function in the cell?

leva [86]

The membrane bound organelle you refer to is the Lysosome. The lysosome fuses with a vacuole where it digests the contents.

How is the enzyme ligase beneficial in genetic engineering?

devlian [24]

The name comes from a latin word meaning to glue or bind together. DNA ligase catalyses the joining of DNA fragments (usually those produced by restriction enzymes). Thus different genes can be put into vectors and moved into other hosts.

Which principle helps to explain the reason behind why alleles for a single trait separate from each other when gametes are made

Oksanka [162]

Segregation

For a trait to show or express itself in an individual it must have two types of the same allele (for example P and p) showing on the chromosomes. The showing of both alleles on an offspring's chromosomes means that both parents have the same trait and that is why there is a chance for an allele to become dominant in other words to express itself in the offspring. However if only one allele is transferred in the genes of the offspring that means that the trait that the allele is responsible for, will remain unexpressed.

In the spotted tulip, white flowers are dominant to yellow (gene Y), and axial flowers are dominant terminal flowers (gene T). E

aleksklad [387]

Answer:

9/16 A_B_ White colour, axial flower

3/16 A_bb White colour, terminal flower

3/16 aaB_ Yellow colour, axial flower

1/16 aabb Yellow colour, terminal flower

Explanation:

Let the flower colour allele be represented by A and the flower position by B. The dominant white colour would be A while the alternate version (the yellow colour) would be a. Also, the dominant axial flower position would be B while the alternate terminal position would be b.

The Punnet's square result of crossing two plants that are heterozygous for both traits is as in the attached image.
