Answer:
1/2
Explanation:
This question involves a single gene coding for feather color in chickens. The black allele (B) is incompletely dominant over the white allele (W). This means that the allele B will not mask the phenotypic expression of allele W, hence, a third intermediate blue phenotype (BW) will be produced.
According to the question, if two blue chickens are crossed i.e. BW × BW, the gametes B and W will be produced by each parent. Using these gametes in a punnet square (see attached image), the following offsprings will be produced:
BB, BW and WW in the ratio 1:2:1
BB is black, BW is blue, WW is white. Hence, the probability of producing a blue chicken from this cross is 1/2.
The evolution of sexual reproduction is a great puzzle in modern evolutionary biology. Many groups of eukaryotic organisms, especially most animals and plants, reproduce sexually. The evolution of sex between two organisms of the same species contains two related but different themes: its origin and its maintenance. However, since hypotheses for the origin of sex are difficult to test experimentally, most of the current work has focused on the maintenance of sexual reproduction. Biologists, including W. D. Hamilton, Alexei Kondrashov, and George C. Williams, have proposed various explanations for how sexual reproduction is maintained in a large set of different living things.
Answer:
<u><em>Proteins are large, complex molecules that play many critical roles in the body. They do most of the work in cells and are required for the structure, function, and regulation of the body’s tissues and organs. </em></u>
<u><em>Proteins are made up of hundreds or thousands of smaller units called amino acids, which are attached to one another in long chains.</em></u>
Explanation:
Answer:
Box 1: AA
Box 2: Aa
Box 3: AA
Explanation:
In order to figure out the pedigree, you first have to do a punnet square- kind of like cross-multiplying. EX: For the first box: Aa x AA
For box one, we know that it is Aa, and not AA, because box 2 has to be AA.
We know that because Aa X Aa would give us some "aa" offspring which we do not see in the last generation (see 2nd pic). The only way to get no "aa" offspring is to have an AA X Aa cross.
