Fur color is an inherited trait controlled by one pair of alleles where one form is dominant over the other. The fur color is ei

ther brown or gray. Two brown animals mate and produce 12 offspring. Three (25 percent) of the offspring produced are gray and nine (75 percent) are brown.
Based on the above data answer the follow questions

Determine which fur color is dominant and which is recessive.

Assign letter symbols for the alleles in your answer.

Answer the questions using at least two or three complete sentences.

1) Brown fur colour is dominant, gray colour is recessive.

2) Alleles for brown colour is Bb and alleles for gray colour is bb.

3) The parents are heterozygous dominant that is each one of them has one allele for recessive trait gray colour.

Explanation:

Alleles for fur colour brown is dominant

Alleles for fur colour gray is recessive.

Genotype for brown is BB, Bb

genotype for gray colour is bb

Two brown mated producing gray offspring must be heterozygous. the punnet square shows:

    B  b

B BB Bb

b Bb  bb

75% of offspring are brown

25% of offspring are gray      3:1 phenotypic ratio, genotypic ratio 1:2:1

From the punnet square

The brown colour is dominant.

The gray colour is recessive.

Alleles gray colour is bb

alleles for brown is BB, Bb

The parents are heterozygous that is why when two recessive alleles combine of either parents in a progeny gray colour is expressed.

Alecsey [184]

Answer:

B) cytoplasmic streaming in hyphae

Explanation:

Fungal mycelium refers to the branched vegetative structure of the fungi which is formed by the growth of the hyphae. The hyphae contain three zones of growth: the apical, subapical and zone of vacuolation.

The hyphae grow in the apical region which forms a branched structure in which the cytoplasm continuously moves between the hyphae at the point of fusion towards the growing tip. This movement of the cytoplasm towards the growing tip is known as "cytoplasmic streaming".

This streaming of cytoplasm is responsible for the formation of a zone of vacuolation and the mycelium is formed.

Thus, Option-B is the correct answer.

The growing tip eventually gives rise to a branch. This is the beginning of the branched mycelium. Growing tips that come in contact with neighbouring hyphae often fuse with them to form a hyphal net. In such a vigorously growing system, the cytoplasm is in constant motion, streaming toward the growing tips. Eventually, the older hyphae become highly vacuolated and may be stripped of most of their cytoplasm.

In rabbits, black fur is dominant over white fur. Show the cross of a heterozygous black male with a homozygous white female.
sergejj [24]
We suppose the black fur is A and the white fur is a. The capital letter represents the dominant. Then the heterozygous black male is Aa and homozygous white female is aa. Then the offspring has two types, Aa and aa. The possibility of these two is equal and both are 50%.

You've calculated that the payback
ElenaW [278]

In the given situation, the payback period decreases as the electricity cost increases, i.e., option C is correct.

<h3>What is payback period?</h3>

The payback period is the amount of time required to recover the cost of an investment or to reach the breakeven point for an investor.

Shorter payback periods indicate more appealing investments, whereas longer payback periods indicate less desirable investments.

In the given situation, the payback period decreases as the electricity cost increases.

Thus, the correct option is C.
