Feather color in budgies is determined by two different genes that affect the pigmentation of the outer feather and its core. Y_

B_ is green; yyB_ is blue; Y_bb is yellow; and yybb is white. A green budgie is crossed to a blue budgie. Which of the following results is not possible?
all green offspring
all blue offspring
all white offspring
all yellow offspring
All of these are possible, but with different probabilities.

Answer:

C (All white offsprings)

Explanation:

Feather colour in budgies is coded for by two genes (Y and B). The allele Y is dominant over the allele y in the first gene while the allele B is dominant over the allele b.

In a combined state of the two genes;

1. When either of both genes contains a dominant allele, the phenotypic characteristics (feather colour) will be green i.e. YYBB, YyBB, YYBb, YyBb genotypes

2. When both alleles of gene Y are recessive (yy), and one or two of the alleles of gene B are dominant (Bb, BB), the phenotypic characteristics will be blue i.e. yyBB, yyBb genotypes

3. When both alleles of gene B are recessive (bb) and one or two of the alleles of gene Y are dominant (Yy, YY), the phenotypic characteristics will be yellow i.e. Yybb, YYbb genotypes

4. When both alleles of gene Y and B are both recessive (y and b), the phenotypic characteristics will be white i.e. yybb genotype

In this case where a green budgie is crossed with a blue budgie, meaning that, a budgie with either of the genotypes YYBB, YyBB, YYBb, YyBb is crossed with a budgie with either genotypes yyBB, yyBb

Both parents contains genotype that have at least one dominant allele for both genes, therefore, their offsprings cannot have all their alleles recessive.

Since white feather colour will only be phenotypically expressed if both alleles in the two genes are homozygous recessive, then all offsprings cannot have all white feathers (yybb).

Water (H2O), carbon dioxide (CO2), organic compounds, heat, and oxygen (O2) are all involved in aerobic respiration. Which of th
nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

The correct relationship of is

Organic compound + O2  → CO2+H2O+Heat

Option B is correct one.

Explanation:

Aerobic Respiration happens in the mitochondria. Organic material glucose with the present of oxygen produced carbon di oxide,water and heat.

The chemical reaction is C ₆H ₁₂ O ₆ + 6 O ₂ --> 6 CO 2 + 6 H ₂ O +Heat+ ATP  

The step involved in aerobic respiration are

Glycolysis.(Opens in a new window)(Opens in a new window) In glycolysis, glucose—a six-carbon sugar—undergoes a series of chemical transformations. In the end, it gets converted into two molecules of pyruvate, a three-carbon organic molecule. In these reactions, ATP is made, and NAD⁺ is converted in NADH.

Pyruvate oxidation. Each pyruvate from glycolysis goes into the mitochondrial matrix—the innermost compartment of mitochondria. There, it’s converted into a two-carbon molecule bound to Coenzyme A, known as acetyl CoA. Carbon dioxide is released and NADH is generated.

Citric acid cycle. The acetyl CoA made in the last step combines with a four-carbon molecule and goes through a cycle of reactions, ultimately regenerating the four-carbon starting molecule.ATP,NADH and FADH₂ are produced, and carbon dioxide is released.

Oxidative phosphorylation. The NADH and FAH₂made in other steps deposit their electrons in the electron transport chain, turning back into their "empty" forms .As electrons move down the chain, energy is released and used to pump protons out of the matrix, forming a gradient. Protons flow back into the matrix through an enzyme called ATP synthase, making ATP. At the end of the electron transport chain, oxygen accepts electrons and takes up protons to form water.

hammer [34]
A prey is an animal that is being eaten by a predator.
- If prey population decreases in number, the predator population will also decrease because there is not enough food for predators to survive.
- If predator population decreases, the prey population will increase because less prey will be eaten by predators.
- If prey population increases, the predator population could also increase because there will be a lot of food for them.
- If predator population increases, the prey population must decrease because more predators will eat more prey.
