Why do vertebrate embryos show similarities between organisms that do not appear in the adults?

1 answer:

3 0

It is believed that this happens because some signals that regulate development are the same between different species and because <span>they share ancient genes. </span>These ancient genes are expressed during a middle "phylotypic stage" of embryonic development for all species.

For example, human and animal embryos go through very similar stages of early development and share similar features such as tails and gill-like structures. The major difference appears to be how long it takes to reach each of these same stages.

Bas_tet [7]

In this question, one parent is homozygous recessive (bbee) and other parent is dihybrid (BbEe)
B - black fur dominant trait
b - white fur recessive
E- black eyes dominant
e - red eyes recessive

a punnett square shows all the possible combinations of genotypes with the corresponding phenotypes that the offspring could inherit.
the genotypes and their phenotypes for the offspring are given below ;
BBEE / BbEe / BbEE / BBEe - black fur and black eyes
Bbee / BBee - black fur and red eyes
bbee - white fur and red eyes
bbEe / bbEE - white fur and black eyes

after analysing the punnett square the following results are obtained;
black fur and black eyes - BbEe- 4/16
black fur and red eyes -Bbee - 4/16
white fur and black eyes - bbEe - 4/16
white fur and red eyes -bbee - 4/16
