A breeder wants to set up a program to produce zebrafish with long fins. Having long fins is a dominant trait compared to the sh

ort-finned wild type. Before she can market her zebrafish, she needs to perform a test cross on the long-finned fish she plans to use as a breeder. How can she tell whether her fish are homozygous or heterozygous for the long-finned trait? A. Cross the long-finned fish with short-finned fsh; if three-fourths of the offspring are long-finned and one-fourth are short-finned,the long-finned parent is homozygous. B. Cross the long-finned fish with short-finned fish; if three-fifth of the offspring are long-finned and one-fourth are short-finned,the long-finned parent is homozygous. C. Do several test crosses between the long-finned fish and short-finned fish; if the offspring are always long-finned, the long-finned parent is probably homozygous.

Answer:

Option C

Explanation:

Let the allele for long fin trait be "L" and the allele for short fin trait be "l"

Given L is dominant over l

If he crosses a long fish and short fin to produce three fourth long fins and one fourth short fins, it is not confirmed that the long fin species are homozygous as represented in the cross below

Ll * Ll

LL, Ll. Ll, ll

The two parent species are long (but not homozygous). Hence, option A is incorrect

However, if this test cross is carried out several times, the recessive trait may disappear thereby producing only homozygous long finned species.

Hence, option C is correct

faust18 [17]
A twitch is defined as a single, brief contraction period and then relaxation period of a skeletal muscle in response to a single stimulation. Contraction period involves receptive power strokes that pull the thin filaments past the thick filaments shortening sacromeres and muscle tension increases as the sacromeres shorten. Relaxation period begins with or release of cross bridges resulting from the return of Ca2+ back to sarcoplasmic reticulum. The strength of skeletal muscle contractions can be broadly separated into twitch, summation, and tetanus. A twitch is a single contraction and relaxation cycle produced by an action potential within the muscle fiber itself.

Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

Macromolecule OR nucleic acid

Explanation:

It is one of four main types of macromolecules found in all forms of life, and its full name is deoxyribonucleic acid.

Best bet is macromolecule, but this is a very vague question so nucleic acid could also be correct.

How long will the earth live
zmey [24]

Answer:

1.75 billion years

Explanation:

Scientists have concluded that Earth could potentially continue to host life for at LEAST another 1.75 billion years. As long as there's no natural disasters or nuclear wars, we should be good. (Right?)

But, eventually, over time Earth will become uninhabitable. :o
