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.

algol [13]

Answer:

- Oak trees: primary producers

- Caterpillars: primary consumers

- Blue Jays: secondary consumers

- Hawks: tertiary consumers

Explanation:

A trophic pyramid, also known as ecological pyramid or energy pyramid, is a graphic representation that shows the relationships between different types of organisms (i.e., producers and consumers) at the trophic levels of an ecosystem. The primary producers are autotrophic organisms that obtain energy from sunlight and chemical compounds from nonliving sources (e.g., photosynthetic plants, algae, etc). The primary consumers are organisms that eat primary producers (e.g., herbivores), while secondary consumers are organisms that eat primary consumers (e.g., omnivores). Moreover, tertiary consumers are predators and/or omnivores that eat secondary consumers (e.g., hawks). Finally, decomposers (e.g., bacteria) are organisms that obtain nutrients and energy by breaking down dead organic material (i.e., dead organisms) at all trophic levels into nutrients.

Amanda [17]

The correct answer is the suprachiasmatic nucleus of the hypothalamus. The suprachiasmatic nucleus, as the name suggests, is the part of the hypothalamus located in right above above the optic chiasm. The main function of the suprachiasmatic nucleus is mainly responsible for the circadian rhythm of the body therefore the physiological activity on daily cycles.

List four reasons pea plants make them particularly good "subjects" for genetics research

Maru [420]

The reasons are:Pea plants were easy to grew and they developed quick.It has a short life expectancy, which is about 3-4 months, so it can indicate prompt outcomes after the experiment. It is a bisexual plant however sexual reproduction can be effortlessly conveyed out, here it is additionally simple to locate an unadulterated line. It has 7 sets of differentiating characters.
