g. Cats that have coats that are a patchwork of black and orange are called tortoiseshell cats, are typically female, and have genes that code for both black fur (Xo) and orange fur (XO) located on the X chromosomes. Y chromosomes do not code for color in tortoiseshell cats. A female cat that has only orange fur (XOXO) is crossed with a male cat that has only black fur (XoY).
How many of the offspring will exhibit tortoiseshell coloring?

Answer:

The correct answer would be 2 in 4.

According to the question Xo and XO show codominance and express themselves completely when present in heterozygous condition. Cats bearing XoXO show patchwork of black and orange fur and are called tortoiseshell cats.

Xo codes for orange color fur and XO codes for black color fur. In addition, Y chromosome does not contain any gene associated with fur color.

Now, genotype of mother cat is XOXO (orange fur). So, the gametes formed would be XO only.

The genotype of father cat is XoY(black fur). So, the gametes would be Xo and Y.

The cross would lead to the formation of two male cats each having XOY as their genotype and two female cats each with XOXo as their genotype.

Hence, both the male cats would show orange fur and both the female cats would show patchwork of orange and black fur.

Therefore, we can conclude that 2 out of 4 would exhibit tortoiseshell coloring.

\85. compare the equation for cellular respiration to the equation for photosynthesis.
Alexandra [31]

Answer: The reactants for Photosynthesis are the products for Cellular Respiration and the reactants of Cellular Respiration are the products of Photosynthesis.

Photosynthesis:

6CO2 + 6H2O -> C6H12O6 + 6O2

**6 Carbon Dioxide + 6 water -> Glucose + 6 Oxygen**

Cellular Respiration:

C6H12O6 + 6O2 -> 6H2O + 6CO2 + Energy

**Glucose + 6 Oxygen -> 6 Water + 6 Carbon Dioxide + Energy**

attashe74 [19]
The correct answer is the last option.

The first option (unable to cause climate change) is incorrect because these gases do effect the atmospheric temperatures by increasing them.
The second option is incorrect because while these gases do cause more water vapor to condense, they result in acid rain (not wetter climates).

Neko [114]

Answer:

The correct answer is -Biosocial perspective.

Explanation:

In the last few years, the research and thinking on biosocial perspectives on the family come in light. The biosocial perspective on the family is characterized by concepts or laws related to various psychological factors to evolution, genetics, and physiology.

Three major developments that are contributed in this perspective are findings of proximate biological interplay, advances in evolutionary thinking and alteration in the field of studies related t the family.

Thus, the correct answer is - the biosocial perspective.
