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).

Why is fermentation less effective than respiration?
EastWind [94]

Answer:

Fermentation is less effective because it does not have the capacity to completely break down the glucose molecule and therefore can only contribute to the production of two ATP molecules (via glycolysis), as opposed to the 36 produced during aerobic respiration

Which of the following present challenges that make gas exchange more difficult for fish than for terrestrial animals? Select al
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

A. Water is denser and more viscous than air.

B. Water contains much less O2 than air per unit volume.

E. Diffusion occurs more slowly in water than in air.

Explanation:

The gas exchange for aquatic animals is more difficult than for terrestrial animal because of several reasons like water is denser and vicious than air so the diffusion of oxygen in air is much faster than the diffusion of oxygen in the water.  

The concentration of oxygen in the air is much higher than the concentration in the water. In air the concentration of oxygen in 21% but in water, it is a tiny fraction of 1 percent oxygen. The oxygen holding capacity of warm water becomes less in cold water. So the right answer is A, B, and E.
