If you have a hamster with long fur, what possible genotypes could the hamster have?

Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

Ll, Ll, LL

Explanation:

So, there is one thing we must remember to answer this:

1# dominant genes(long fur) are expressed over reccesive genes(short fur)

Knownign that dominant is over reccesive, it is simple. If the genotype was Ll or lL then the dominant long fur would be expressed over reccesive short fur. Long fur - Ll, lL

Next, we know that LL will be long fur since its both long and long, and there is no possibility for short fur. Long fur - LL

Finally. we have ll, and since there isnt a dominant long fur, and only reccesvie short, then this cannot be long fur. Short fur. - ll

kirill [66]

The survival of the species is ensured by C. by protecting the fertilized eggs from predators. The protection provided by the male increases the hatch rate of the eggs, which means more young seahorses. The greater the number of hatchlings, the greater the likelihood that some will survive to adulthood and carry on the survival of the species.

In what way can open-mindedness interfere with scientific progress

umka2103 [35]

Open-mindedness does interfere with scientific progress as it can lead to acceptance of untested ideas. Open-mindedness can lead to actually accepting results that are not true. This is not a great angle for people involved with scientific experiments. Open-mindedness should be limited to the fact that the results can lead to negative answers. People that can accept this theory will ultimately succeed in their strive for creating something new. There is nothing wrong in discarding the results that does not seem to fit the bill.
Hope I helped!:)
