In cattle, coats may be solid white, solid black, or black-and-white spotted. When true-breeding solid whites are mated with tru

e-breeding solid blacks, the F1 generation consists of all solid white individuals. After many F1×F1 matings, the following ratio was observed in the F2 generation: 12/16 solid white 3/16 black-and-white spotted 1/16 solid black Part A How many gene pairs are involved in the inheritance of cattle coat color?

Answer:

Two locus

Explanation:

Let assume  the gene for white (1st locus) be W i.e. ww = recessive

here, Let the alleles for the 2nd locus be B and b.

White: W_B_, W_bb

Black&White: wwB_

Black: wwbb

This is dominant epistasis. In dominant epistasis, where the dominant allele of the 1st locus (W) masks or hide the expression of the 2nd locus. When the two alleles in the 1st locus are recessive (ww), the alleles in the 2nd locus can be expressed(B and b).

What would be the best explanation for why myelinated fibers conduct signals faster than unmyelinated fibers?
Sliva [168]

Answer: The diffusion of ions along the axoplasm is faster,in myelinated compare to unmyelinated,

Neurons are the structural and functioning units of nervous system.They are the vehicles for transmission of impulses as electrical signals from one part of the cells,and from one part of the body to another.

The basic structural components of a typical neuron are the cellbody, the axon, and the dendrites.

Based on structure neurons are classified as myelinated and unmyelinated.This is based on the the surrounding layer of myelin sheath around the axon. The myelin provides the insulating layer for the axon.And ensures fast movement of impluses.

In myelinated neurons the myelin sheath are interrupted at intervals by gaps along the length of the axon called Nodes of Ranvier. These gaps contains more Na-K channels for influx and out-flux of K and Na+ ions for transmission of impulses.

The cytoplasm of axon is called axoplasm,Since this is surrounded by myelin sheath which contains Na-K+ channels,The rate of diffusion of ions along  these channels is faster for depolarization to take place than in unmyelinated neurons. Inaddtion as these ions  diffusion increases,its jump faster at the nodes of Ranvier (saltatory conduction) to the next axoplasm which further speed up the rate of transmission.

Unmyeinated lacks myelin sheath,therefore the exchange and  the rate of diffusion of ions along the axons is low.

A plant has dominant and recessive traits for flower color. The dominant color is amethyst (A), and the recessive trait is white
telo118 [61]
Answer:A
Homozygous means both alleles are the same. This leaves A and B
Only choice A has heterozygous(different) alleles for offspring,so it is the right answer
