Answer:

Genotype: Bb (heterozygous)

Phenotype: brown fur

Explanation:

Since allele B is dominant to allele b, as long as genotype has allele B in it, its effect of phenotype will be expressed instead, regardless of whether allele b is present.

As mouse genotype is stated as Bb, on the chromosome from its parents, allele B comes from one parent while allele b is inherited from the other parent.

Phenotype is the expressed trait. In this case, as genotype has allele B, the phenotype will be brown fur as its effect is expressed.

fungal and protist infections, especially those that are deeper than the skin, are especially hard to treat. why?

matrenka [14]

Answer and explanation:

Fungi and protists are eukaryotic. However, antibiotics selectively targets prokaryotic cells. Thus, the use of antibiotics for the treatment of fungal and protist infection is of no use at the first place. Secondly, if we use the other medicines that could kill the fungi/protists (e.g. fungicides), they could also kill the host's cells (animal's cells). This become further difficult if the infection is deeper in the skin. This is because, we would not be able to apply the medicine as direct application on skin but would give either intravenous or via food. This would increase the chance of imacting negatively the other organs/cells. The only option in such scenario is the surgery, which cannot be 100% effective because some spores may left even after the treatment.

Andrej [43]

0% because if straight hairline is recessive that means it would need 2. Since, Widows peak seems to be dominant, then there would need to be at least 1 dominant. But, there are both people that have recessive traits.

Grouping objects or information based on similarities

Ivenika [448]

Taxonomy

The Radio-ulna and digits of most primates and animals represents a homologous structure

An example of another internal structure is the genes.
The homologous chromosomes have the same genes in common. Each cell has at least two sets of chromosomes which one comes from one’s father also called as paternal chromosome and mother, called as the maternal chromosomes. These chromosomes are what makes the child obtain the characters and may depend on the traits the parents possess. Homologous chromosomes are not duplicated chromosomes or identical however, they are analogous or similar. The alleles for a specific characteristics isn’t the same but the same genes are in the same order.
