<h2>
The correct answer is explained below:</h2>
Explanation:
- According to the given question,
- For eye color, let the black color be represented by B allele and orange color be represented by b allele. Black is dominant over orange.
- For skin color, let the green skin be represented by G allele and white skin be represented by g allele. Green is dominant over white.
- The phenotype of Sam is black eyes and green skin so his genotype can be BBGG or BbGg. It is also said that one of his parents has phenotype orange eyes and white skin. That parent's genotype must be bbgg.
- Hence, the genotype of Sam must be BbGg.
- Carole has the phenotype of orange eyes and white skin. Her genotype would bbgg.
- The gametes produced by Sam are: BG, Bg, bG, bg.
- The gametes produced by Carole are: bg.
- Mating them we get,
BG Bg bG bg
bg BbGg Bbgg bbGg bbgg
(Black/ Green) (Black/ White) (Orange/Green) (Orange/ White)
- The genotypes and phenotypes (Eye color/ Skin color) obtained are represented above.
- The phenotypes (Eye color/ Skin color) obtained are in the following ratio:
(Black/ Green) : (Black/ White) : (Orange/Green) : (Orange/ White) = 1 : 1 : 1 : 1
The tributaries carry small amounts of salt into the lake
<u>Explanation</u>:
The Greatest salt lake is one of the most saline inland water body in the world.The water carried to this lake by the tributaries is very less as compared to the amount of the salt present in the lake. Rest part of the salt remains in the lake as such.
When the water from the lake gets evaporated, it leaves behind the salt. When time passes by, or years of inflow and evaporation salts they gets deposited layer over layer. The amount of salt added leads to formation of new minerals on the sea floor.
