Answer: one offspring out of the four will have a recessive-recessive genotype.

Explanation: A cross between two parents who are heterozygous for a gene that has a simple dominant-recessive pattern of inheritance will produce four offsprings: one will be homozygous dominant, two will be heterozygous dominant while one will be homozygous recessive.

Homozygous dominant offspring has two dominant alleles, heterozygous dominant offspring has one dominant allele and one recessive allele while a homozygous recessive offspring has two recessive alleles.

For example, a cross between two parents that are heterozygous (Tt) for tall will produce one TT, two Tt and one tt. TT is homozygous dominant, Tt is heterozygous dominant and tt is homozygous recessive. An offspring with genotype tt has a two recessive alleles thus have a recessive-recessive genotype. Therefore the number of offsprings with recessive-recessive genotype is one.

Which is the best example of a response to an external stimulus?
tigry1 [53]

Answer:

drinking water after a long run

Explanation:

When there arises a change or shift in the state or action of any organism because of any external stimulus, the result is said to be the response to external stimulus. The response or reaction to the external stimulus arises when the organism experiences or senses the stimulus.  

Drinking water after a long run is an example of the response to external stimulus. Here, the external stimulus is the loss of water in the water because of the action of running. This makes the individual drink water which is a response to the external stimulus.

Flower color in a particular plant species is determined by one gene locus. The allele at the locus can code for either red flow
julsineya [31]
The answer is D. This is an exmaple of incomplete dominance. Red and blue make purple. Because there is no purple alleles, C is false. Because there you can only have 2 alleles total B is false. A is false because having two red alleles makes a red flower.

Inhibitory neurotransmitters such as glycine and GABA make a postsynaptic cell harder to depolarize by allowing what?
Mashutka [201]

Inhibitory neurotransmitters such as glycine and GABA make a postsynaptic cell harder to depolarize by allowing "an influx of Cl-".

<u>Explanation:</u>

The neurotransmitters which have inhibitory influence on the neuron are termed as "Inhibitory neurotransmitters". The major inhibitory neurotransmitters involve serotonin and gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in the brain and brain stem (spinal cord) respectively.

GABA uptake is temperature and ion-dependent as require both N a^{+} and C l^{-}. Even glycine transporters are also members of the large family of N a^{+} / C l^{-} dependent neurotransmitter transporters. Both of them with the GABA transporters share approximately 50% sequence identity.
