Answer:

Let the "barred" allele be caller B and the "non-white" allele b. Since chickens use chromosomes Z  and W to determine sex, hens would have chromosomes ZW, and roosters would have chromosomes ZZ. A Z-linked gene is represented as a superscript on the Z chromosome, Z^{B} for the dominant allele and Z^{b} for the ressesive allele.

A barred hen would have a copy of B on its Z chromosome, a non-barred rooster would have both copies of b on both Z chromosomes. Using Punnet squares to represent the crosses we get the following cases:

\begin{center}\begin{tabular}{ |c|c|c|c| }\ & Z^{B} & W \\ \ Z^{b} & Z^{B}Z^{b} & Z^{b}W \\ \ Z^{b} & Z^{B}Z^{b} & Z^{b}W \\ \end{tabular}\end{center}

That is a ratio of two barred heterozygote roosters to two non-barred hens. Crossing them we get:

\begin{center}\begin{tabular}{ |c|c|c|c| }\ & Z^{b} & W \\ \ Z^{B} & Z^{B}Z^{b} & Z^{B}W \\ \ Z^{b} & Z^{b}Z^{b} & Z^{b}W \\ \end{tabular}\end{center}

That is a ratio of one barred heterozygote rooster to one barred hen to one non-barred rooster to one non barred hen.

Kipish [7]

Answer:

the dissolved oxygen of the water decreases.

the fish need the oxygen for respiration, breathing through their gills.

Explanation:

The salinity decreasing doesn't affect the pickerel, because it's a freshwater fish. no salt needed.

more light penetrating the water just means that more aquatic weed or grasses would grow, giving the pickerel more area to spawn their eggs.

temperature increase in the summer has no affect on the fish, since the spawning happens in late winter.

Answer:

Please see my answer below.

If you like my response you can mark it as brainliest.

If you have any doubts (no joke) you can reach out to me in the comments.

Explanation:

<em><u>The endosymbiotic theory states that some of the organelles in eukaryotic cells were once prokaryotic microbes. Mitochondria and chloroplasts are the same size as prokaryotic cells and divide by binary fission. Mitochondria and chloroplasts have their own DNA which is circular, not linear.</u></em>
