Answer:

If the genotype of the parents are Iᵃi and Iᵇi, then four type of offspring will be produced.The genotype of the offspring are, IᵃIᵇ, Iᵃi,Iᵇi, and ii.

Explanation:

IᵃIᵇ = As the alleles are co-dominant in nature, so both type of alleles are expressed. The blood group will be AB. So, both A and B type of antigen will be found in plasma membrane of RBC.

Iᵃi= In this type of genotype only A type of antigen will be expressed in the membrane of RBC. The blood group will be A type.

Iᵇi= In this type of genotype only B type of antigen will be expressed in the membrane of RBC. The blood group will be B type.

ii= This is a recessive type of genotype. So, no antigen will be found on the membrane of the RBC. And the blood group will be O type.

The offspring's ratio will be 1:1:1:1.

Describe an experiment you could perform to determine whether the pink flowers of a petunia plant result from incomplete dominan

RUDIKE [14]

Incomplete dominance is an exception to Mendelian principles of genetics. The pink flowers of a petunia plant result from incomplete dominance and this has been experimentally determined.

The crossing between petunia plants shows an exception to Mendel’s principles. As a result of crossing the first generation homozygous petunia plants, some alleles of the first cross generation of the petunia flowers were in between the two dominant alleles which meant they were neither dominant nor recessive to the characteristics.

The F1 generation produced by a crossing the red-flowered (RR) plants and the white-flowered (WW) petunia plants consisted of pink-coloured flowers (RW) as the first progeny. Neither of the allele was dominant here. The cases where one allele does not completely dominate another are known as incomplete dominance. The heterozygous phenotype is supposed to occur between the two homozygous phenotypes in incomplete dominance. Phenotype refers to the colour here and genotype is a representation of alleles.

The representation of the genotypes is as follows:

White coloured dominant parent petunia plant: WW

Red coloured dominant parent petunia plant: RR

The colours white and red are the phenotypes and WW or RR is the genotype of parental alleles.

When the red and white flowered petunia plants were true breaded which means the red and white flowered petunia plants had red and white colour as their dominant characteristic and they were homozygous.

The result that was seen of this true breeding was heterozygous pink flowered petunia plants in the F1 generation. The pink colour phenotype of the flowers was an intermediate between the two dominant red and white coloured petunia flowers. This meant that the allele for the red flowers were incompletely dominant over the white flowers giving rise to pink flowers.

The genotype of the pink coloured petunia flowers as well as the corresponding phenotype can be represented by the Punnet squares.

How did early humans survive without clothes?

blsea [12.9K]

Of course we can survive without clothes. We evolved a hairless body because our ancestor was an ape that was forced to live in the hot, open savanna, where fur is not needed. In fact, many people around the world did not wear any clothes. Native Hawaiians, for example, wore no clothes when the first European explorers arrived. Amazonians and Africans also did not wear clothes. Humans evolved in Africa about 150,000 years ago, and the early humans wore no clothes. Humans started migrating out of Africa about 60,000 to 70,000 years ago. They followed the coast line and went all the way to Australia. These early migrants ended up in places that required no clothes. Only when humans migrated to places like ice age Europe and northern parts of Asia (northern parts of China, Japan and Korea) did they need to wear clothes or animal skins to stay warm. Wearing clothes blocks out the sun and these people were in danger of vitamin D deficiency, which leads to rickets. Rickets can result in muscle cramps, broken or deformed bones and even death. In order to absorb enough UV light to synthesize vitamin D, there was strong selection pressure to evolve lighter skin tones.

The habit of wearing clothes, even in places that do not require them, was spread by European Christians. Basically they forced and/or shamed the natives to wear clothes wherever they went.Of course, not wearing clothes means that humans will no longer be able to live in temperate areas around the world, at least not during the fall and winter months.

Describe the process that maintained a stable tasmanian devil population size before the appearance of dftd in 1996.

Vinvika [58]

Answer:

Prior to the appearance of DFTD, it was genetic variation and gene flow that were maintaining the population. Having more genetic variation and movement of genes between populations of Tasmanian Devils likely allowed them to avoid an inbreeding depression.

good luck

What is the name for an organized group of organisms

strojnjashka [21]

The highest level of organization for living things is the BIOSPHERE; it encompasses all other levels. The biological levels of organization of living things arranged from the simplest to most complex are: organelle, cells, tissues, organs, organ systems, organisms, populations, communities, ecosystem, and biosphere.
