In chickens the dominant allele Cr produces the creeper phenotype (having short legs). However, the creeper allele is lethal in

the homozygous condition. If two creepers are mated, what proportion of the living progeny will be creepers?

Answer:

66.6% of the living progeny would be creepers

Explanation:

The creeper allele is Cr for both parents this means that there is a 50% chance that they will pass the C or r trait to their progeny. In this scenario the deleterious inheritance of rr will be 25% so this will not be factored in this answer. The other progeny is CC 25% and Cr 50% for genotype only

The new calculation for living progeny is this: Of the chances of three living progeny there could be one normal CC and two creepers Cr. This means that 33.3% of the living progeny is normal CC and 66.6% of the living progeny are creepers Cr.

What term is used to refer to the process in which dna can be introduced into host bacterial cells?
Anna71 [15]

There are three ways in which exogenous dna can be introduced into a bacterial genome. These are; transduction, transformation and conjugation. Transduction is the introduction of exogenous material into bacteria by viruses; conjugation is exchange of genetic material between bacteria sexual through  reproduction; while transformation is uptake of exogenous dna by bacteria, from its surrounding, through the bacterial membrane.

How many calories are provided by a food that contains 29 grams of carbohydrate, 6 grams of protein, and 1 gram of fat?
Andrej [43]
Energy (caloric) value of foods is indicated by calories, which measure the amount of heat that the food releases in the metabolic process. In physiology, it is determined by the energy balance of the organism, ie the heat exchange between the organism and the external environment.
Calories of nutrients:
1 g of protein = 4 kcal (kilocalories)
1 g of fat = 9 kcal
1 g of carbohydrates = 4 kcal
1 g of alcohol = 7 kcal
1 g of organic acid = 3 kcal

According to the table above, we can calculate required value:

29x4 + 6x4  + 1x9= 149 kcal/g
