Answer:
9:3:3:1
Explanation:
If alleles of two genes separate randomly during anaphase-I of meiosis, some new combinations of the alleles are formed in the gametes. A heterozygous genotype for two loci (let's support TtRr) produces a total of four types of gametes in 1:1:1:1 ratio (TR, Tr, tR, and tr). The random fusion of these gametes from two double heterozygous parents (TtRr x TtRr) gives a phenotype ratio of 9:3:3:1. Here, 9/16 F2 progeny exhibit dominant phenotype for both loci while 1/16 exhibits recessive phenotype for both the genes. Rest 3/16 and 3/16 F2 progeny express dominant trait for one gene and recessive for the other.
your answer is A because a geometric progression is increased by a factor of 3, therefore 4x3=12 and 12x3=36.
hope this helps!!
Science can be applied to many things the earth around us. Maybe even technology for example self-driving cars is a part of science!
Answer:
Explanation:
A gene can be turned on or off by environmental factors or from other cells that activate proteins known as transcription factors.
Answer/Explanation:
Natural selection - over time - selects for traits that improve fitness. A butterfly with wing coloration that looks like a hungry owl would certainly be a deterrent to their natural predators, such as smaller birds. This is because the owl is the predator of the smaller birds, and their instinct is to avoid the owl.
If a mutation arose that resulting in coloration that looked like an owl, (or at least slightly menacing) this would be beneficial to the butterfly, as it would be more camouflaged from predators. This means it would be more likely to reach reproductive age and pass the mutation onto its offspring, who would also have a competitive advantage.
Over time, this would lead to a population of butterflies with coloration that looks more and more owl-like .
