Answer:

D. ww

Explanation:

The genotype of short whiskers is recessive.  For a recessive characteristic to appear phenotypically ( this means, this can be seen)    the two alleles present must be recessive

Answer:

D (ww)

Explanation:

This is a cross involving a single gene coding for whisker length in cats. The allele for long whiskers (W) is dominant over the allele for short whiskers (w) i.e. the W allele will mask the expression of w allele in a heterozygous state.

Since long whisker allele (W) is dominant, it means the dominant trait (long whisker) will be expressed if the genotype if a cat is homozygous dominant (WW) or heterozygous (Ww). However, the recessive trait (short whiskers) can only be phenotypically expressed when the cat's genotype is homozygous recessive (ww).

Therefore, if a cross between a Ww (heterozygous) cat and a ww (homozygous recessive) cat produces an offspring with short whiskers, It means that the offspring has a homozygous recessive genotype (ww) since it expresses the recessive trait.

The statement above is FALSE.
Glomerular filtration is the process by which the kidneys filter the blood by removing excess wastes and fluid. Glomerular filteration rate [GFR] is a measure of how well the blood is filtereed by the kidney. If the value of a GFR test is too low that indicates that the kidney is not working well.  <span />

What is NOT true about the evidence that fossils provide?
aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

C. All fossils contain intact DNA that can be sequenced.

Explanation:

Fossils are the impression, trace or preserved remains of once-living thing from past thousands of years such as bones, exoskeletons, objects preserved in amber, and stone imprints of animals or microbes.

Fossils provide evidence about seevral characteristics and features of extinct organism such as evolutionary relationship between organisms and  transitional forms between groups of organisms. but all the fossil do not provide evidence about the intact DNA that can be sequenced because some fossils carry DNA rumnants which do not have the ability to get sequenced.

Hence, the correct option is C.

What breed of dog is in the claritin commercial with the man laying in tbe grass?
velikii [3]

In the Claritin commercial, the man is laying in the grass with a beagle puppy. The beagle is a breed of small hound that is similar to a larger foxhound that has approximately 220 million scent receptors. This is the reason why they are employed as detection dog and not as guard dogs for they are usually friendly dogs.

Elis [28]

Answer:

Will never go to fixation.

Explanation:

Mutation is the sudden, heritable change in the genetic sequence of the organisms. The mutation might cause the particular disease in the organisms.

The  gene fitness leads to the increase in the gene frequency in the upcoming generations. The gene will fix in the population when their i no selection and no mutation. Since, the information given in the question states that mutation is acting, so the A allele will never fix in the population.

Thus, the answer is option (c).
