Answer and Explanation:

<u>Cross:</u> aa Bb dd Ee x AA bb Dd Ee

We can calculate the probability of getting heterozygous individuals in the progeny by using the <u>product rule</u>. Assuming that these four genes <u>assort independently</u> (<em>events that occur independently from each other</em>), we can infer that the F1 will have the next genotypic proportions for each gene:

1) aa     x     AA

F1) 4/4=1 Aa

2) Bb    x    bb

F1) ½ bb

     ½ Bb

3) dd    x    Dd

F1) ½ dd

     ½ Dd

4) Ee    x    Ee

F1) ¼ EE

    2/4 = ½ Ee

     ¼ ee

So, to know what the probability is that the F1 of being heterozygous for all loci, we must multiply the respective individual probabilities of getting a heterozygous genotype, like this:  

1 Aa   x   ½ Bb   x    ½ Dd    x    ½ Ee = 1/8 AaBbDdEe

Suppose that when you examined your tubes (in this exercise) after incubating them, you noticed that the unsealed control contai

The Oxidation-Fermentation Test is used to differentiate bacteria built on their capability to oxidize or ferment specific sugars.
Once microbes are inoculated,-One tube is sealed with a layer of sterile mineral oil to promote anaerobic growth and fermentation.-The other tube is left unsealed to allow aerobic growth and oxidation.
Organisms able to ferment the carbohydrate or ferment and oxidize the carbohydrate will turn the sealed and unsealed yellow throughout.
Organisms able only to oxidize the sugar will turn the unsealed yellow medium and leave the sealed medium green or blue.
Fragile fermenters will convert both tubes slightly yellow at the top.
Organisms not able to metabolize the sugar will either produce no color change or will turn the medium blue due to alkaline products from amino acids degradation.
Since Pair #1 showed complete yellowing for sealed and unsealed, these Organisms able to ferment the carbohydrate or ferment and oxidize the carbohydrate. So our interpretation will be that the organism has: Oxidation and fermentation OR fermentation only.
For tubes #2 and #3, the sealed tubes were green throughout suggests that they need oxygen for aerobic growth, and the fact that their unsealed tubes showed light yellowing is evidence for oxidation. Sealed - Green and Unseal - Yellow. Our interpretation for these pairs of tubes would be : Oxidation
Tube 1 can be either Oxidation and fermentation OR fermentation only. So reliability of this needs to be confirmed more with additional testing.
Tubes 2 and 3 are most reliable because they can only be oxidation only and no fermentation.

The subcutaneous layer is mainly made of ___.
Gelneren [198K]

The subcutaneous layer is mainly made of  <u>fat tissue.</u>

One of the three layers of skin is the subcutaneous layer, which lies below the dermis. The deepest layer of the skin is primarily made up of fat. It also contains collagen, blood vessels and nerves. The body's fat creates a layer that protects the organs from damage and acts as insulation against the cold. Additionally, it gives the skin structural support.

The depth of the subcutaneous layer in the body's abdominal region, which frequently has higher percentages of fat, can reach three centimeters. The thickness is determined by the person's overall body fat percentage. Other places, like the eyelids, have a subcutaneous layer that is as thin as 1 millimeter and devoid of fat.

The subcutaneous layer has many functions, including insulation, thermoregulation, shock absorption, structural support, and energy storage.
