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.

To science we owe dramatic changes in our smug self-image. Astronomy taught us that our earth isn't the center of the universe but merely one of billions of heavenly bodies.
From biology we learned that we weren't specially created by God but evolved along with millions of other species.

Why was agriculture the worst mistake in human History?

Along with epidemic diseases, starvation, and malnutrition, farming also contributed to the creation of severe class distinctions.
Hunter-gatherers rely solely on the wild plants and animals they catch each day, with little to no food stored and no concentrated food sources, such as an orchard or a herd of cows.

Was the agricultural revolution good or bad?

Between 1700 and 1870, it is thought that both total agricultural output and output per worker increased by a factor of 2. 7 times.
Britain's agriculture is the most productive in Europe thanks to the Agricultural Revolution, with 19th-century yields up to 80% higher than the continental average.

Bess [88]

Answer:

herbicide ZWD10

Explanation:

Independent variable in an experiment are defined as the variable that can be changed or controlled as per the requirement of the experiment to determine its effect on the dependent variable.

In the given experiment, herbicide ZWD10 is an independent variable as it's quantity in experiment can be changed or controlled and we are looking for its effect on corn growth which is a dependent variable.

Hence, the correct answer is herbicide ZWD10.
