In guinea pigs coat color is determined by a single gene with two alleles. A guinea pig from a true-breeding black strain is mat

ed with a guinea pig from a true-breeding white strain. The F1 progeny are all black. Two of the F1 progeny are mated with each other. What proportion of the black F2 progeny is expected to be homozygous?

Answer:

1/3 of black F2 progeny will be homozygous.

Explanation:

Here, BB = black coat color = true breeding dominant black strain

bb = white coat color =  true breeding recessive white strain

When true breeding black and white guinea pigs are mated to give F1 progeny:

BB X bb = Bb ( all black guinea pigs )

When two of the F1 guinea pigs are mated to give F2 progeny:

Bb X Bb = BB, Bb, Bb, bb

F2 progeny has 3/4 progeny as black (BB and Bb) . Out of them 1/3 are homozygous and 2/3 are heterozygous.

Hence, 1/3 of black F2 progeny will be homozygous.

<span>sotonic Solution. Isotonic-no water movement across the cell membrane since the concentration of ions are farily equal in and out of the cell. Hypertonic-a condition where cell loose it water content and ultimately plasmolyze due to the higher ionic concentration outside the cell than inside.

Imagine you are cutting a bagel (one of the most common household injuries) and you get a cut. The cut heals. How do the new cel
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

The new cells are the same as the previous ones, since they are the result of the mitosis process.

Explanation:

When we cut our skin, our brain sends information to millions of cells to take action and prevent this cut from putting us in danger. At that moment, the blood cells begin their work, supplying enough oxygen to stop possible bleeding and start the healing process. Then another group of cells swap out possible bacteria that may be trying to get into the wound. Last but not least, skin cells enter cell division and undergo mitosis, to generate new cells and create a new skin layer.

New cells are the same as old cells, as they are the result of mitosis. Mitosis is the process of cell division where one cell gives rise to two cells exactly the same as it.
