Answer: The genotype ratio is 2Ff : 2ff

The phenotype ratio is two normal feathered birds to two silky feathered birds.

Explanation: Let F represent the gene for normal feather and f represent the gene for silky feather. F is dominant while f is recessive, therefore a male that is hybrid for trait of normal feather is heterozygous and will have a genotype of Ff, a female that is homozygous for silky feather will have a genotype of ff.

A cross between Ff and ff will yield 2Ff birds and 2ff birds. Since F is dominant, a bird having genotype of Ff will manifest outwardly as blue feathered birds while ff will manifest outwardly as silky feathered birds because f is recessive and must occur in a homozygous condition in order to manifest phenotypically. Therefore, the genotype ratio is 2Ff: 2ff.

Which problem does the Montreal Protocol attempt to remedy?

madreJ [45]

Answer:

A.The hole in the ozone layer

Explanation:

How do organelles contribute to efficiency in eukaryotic cells

Mazyrski [523]

The two groups differ in the composition of the cell wall and the lipids in the cell membrane. 3. ... Organelles contribute to efficiency in eukaryotic cells because they concentrate the biochemicals needed for chemical reactions so that the reactions proceed more rapidly.

Semisolid media such as MIO are used to determine motility. Another such medium such is SIM (sulfide, indole, motility) medium.

Flauer [41]

Answer:

Explanation:

In this specific scenario, seeing since both of the mediums are differential, the bacteria can grow on either of them, therefore either of them would be a good choice. A differential media allows the researcher to visually distinguish which species have the specific biochemical process. Which in this case both options have the ability to allow bacteria to grow which is what is needed.

Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:Like many species of the coastal sage scrub, California sagebrush has adapted to summer drought by becoming dormant or semi-dormant during dry months. Winter-spring leaves are feathery and thin and support high rates of photosynthesis; consequently they also have high rates of water loss.
