Answer:

Epistasis

Explanation:

In epistasis, the interaction between genes is inimical, such that one gene masks or interferes with the expression of another. “Epistasis” is a word coined of Greek roots that mean “standing upon.” The alleles that are being masked or silenced are said to be hypostatic to the epistatic alleles that are doing the masking. The cause of the biochemical basis of epistasis is a genetic pathway in which the expression of one gene is dependent on the function of a gene that precedes or follows it in the pathway.

The example of epistasis given is the pigmentation of mice. we were told that "if a mouse has two recessive alleles for coat color,  it is always albino no matter what the genotype of other genes involved in coat color"

Let say recessive allele (rr), it is always albino irrespective of other type of other genes, this is true in the stance that epistasis can be reciprocal such that either gene, when present in the dominant (or recessive) form, expresses the same genotype.

I believe the answer is plants make flowers to attract insects because, plants do nit store carbohydrates, meat does, and we cant use plants to create fossil fuel. The only plant fibers we use for clothing is cotton so that is very limited in the wide aspect of things.

What is conservation genetics?Question 82 options: conserving a species genome so that it is best adapted to the current environ
solong [7]

Answer:

a way to inform conservation efforts based on genetic information from species

Explanation:

Genetic studies in wildlife and captivity species provide significant information to understand aspects regarding the biology and ecology of species, especially endangered species. Many discoveries have been useful to solve several taxonomic issues, determine the risk of diseases, and explain reproductive problems, among other problems. What is even more important is that genetic knowledge helps to plan management programs and conservation. Together with other areas related to behavior and conservation, genetic knowledge provides the basis to carry out successful conservation strategies.

In rabbits, black fur (B) is dominant to white fur (b). A purebred black furred male is bred with a female that had the recessiv
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

All the offsprings will be black-furred (Bb)

Explanation:

This question involves a single gene coding for fur length in rabbits. The allele for black fur (B) is dominant to the allele for white fur (b). This means that a rabbit heterozygous for this gene (Bb) will have a black fur.

According to this question, a purebred black furred male (BB) is bred with a female that had the recessive white fur (bb). The parents will produce gametes as follows:

BB - B only

bb - b only

Using these gametes in a punnet square (see attached image), the genotypic proportion of the produced offsprings is as follows:

Bb, Bb, Bb, Bb

All Bb (heterozygous) means that all of the offsprings will be black-furred.
