The genotype would be 3 dominant D's with one set of smaller ressesive d's. The phenotype would be the resulting offspring would have a 3/4 chance of having the dominant capital D characteristic.

Answer:

Phenotype ratio= 3: 1

Genotype ratio = 1:2:1

Explanation:

According to the punnet square, the cross involves a single gene D and it is between two heterozygous parents Dd i.e. parents with a combination of different alleles because they produced gametes D and d.

This is similar Mendels experiment with the height of pea plants. So let's say that allele D is the dominant allele while allele d is the recessive allele i.e. allele D is capable of masking the expression of allele d in a heterozygous state.

Hence, in a cross between two heterozygous parents (Dd), four possible offsprings will result as seen in the image: DD, Dd, Dd, and dd.

Because (D) will mask the expression of (d), it (D) will be expressed in the heterozygous state (Dd). Therefore, DD, Dd, and Dd

offsprings will have the same dominant phenotype while dd offspring will have a recessive phenotype. This gives a phenotypic ratio of 3:1

Observing the offsprings closely, they possess different genetic make-up. 1 offspring has a DD genotype, 2 have Dd genotype, and 1 has a dd genotype.

DD is said to be homozygous dominant i.e. it contains the same dominant alleles

Dd is heterozygous dominant i.e. it contains different alleles but still exhibits a dominant trait

dd is homozygous recessive i.e. it contains the same recessive alleles.

Hence, based on the difference in the genetic make-up of the offsprings, they have a genotypic ratio of 1:2:1 .

1. Give 2 similarities between each of the skulls that might lead to the conclusion that these are all related.
Andreas93 [3]

Complete question:

You will find the image of the skulls in the attached files.

Answer:

1) 2 similarities between each of the skulls might be the presence of the nasal spine, and the interdental space.

2) The size of the skull seems to be the most noticeable change in skull anatomy between the dawn horse and the modern horse.

Explanation:  

  • Each of the nasal bones in horses ends in a protuberance named "the nasal spine". These spines converge in the distal portion of the bone. These spines and the incisive bone delimitates the space called the naso-incisor notch. In the attached figure you will see the nasal bone in red and the nasal spines. This structure is present in all the skulls in the same position.  
  • The interdental space is the space left between the front teeth and the back teeth. It is useful to recognize a male from a female in modern horses. This space can be found in all the skulls. You will see it in blue in the image.  

The biggest change in skulls between the dawn horse and the modern horse is the size. The skull keeps the original shape or very similar shape but varies in length and height.
