D. Dominant

It is dominant as...
The white coat alleles are recessive, meaning the black coat would most likely be dominant alleles. Assuming the black coated dog had the alleles of BB, and the white coated dog had the alleles ww, there would be a 100% chance that the offspring would have Bw alleles, where the black coat is dominant, "all the offspring were black". 
B = Black, W = White
      B    B
w   Bw  Bw
w   Bw  Bw
The diagram above shows that the offspring would be 100% black coated.

Not sure if you wanted an explanation, but I tried.

You didn’t put any of the choices for the risks, but I believe something important to consider is making sure that the tourists return the umbrellas.

According to Mendel's _______________, one copy of a gene is passed randomly from each parent to their offspring. This is why ga
Komok [63]

Answer:

The correct answer will be-

1. Law of inheritance

2. Law of Independent Assortment

3. Meiosis

Explanation:

Gregor Mendel is known for his work on the pea plants to study the pattern of inheritance of traits in a population.

On the basis of his work, Laws of inheritance were proposed in which the main three laws were the Law of dominance, Laws of segregation and law of independent assortment.

The Law of inheritance suggested that factor (genes) responsible for a trait come in pairs and is inherited one from each parent to the offspring.

The law of  Independent Assortment stated that these genes segregate and passed on to the offspring independent of each other.

The cell division associated with the formation of a germ cell is known as meiosis which produced four daughter cells with different genetic material.

A geneticist discovers a new mutation in Drosophila melanogaster that causes the flies to shake and quiver. She calls this mutat
Harrizon [31]

Answer:

1. First calculate the distance of the map for trace (eg) and spastic mutation (sps); Recombinant frequency:

vg + sps + vg sps + = 99 + 97 = 196

we are going to divide 196 by 650 (total descendants) = 0.3.

in the next step we are going to calculate the recombinant frequency 0.3 * 100 = 30 mu or cM or 30%

this shows that there is an association between vestige (eg) and spastic mutation (sps) since the recombinant frequency is less than 50%.

The squareness test is not valid because the combining frequency is far from 50%.

2. Results:

1. Genes are linked.

3. The test rejected the independent assortment law because it is not true that there is a 1: 1: 1: 1 relationship between descendants

Streams erode their channels by abrasion, by dissolving soluble material, and by _____. layering polishing grinding evaporation
Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

grinding

Explanation:

The streams are very powerful agents when it comes to erosion. With their power and chemical composition, the streams manage to erode the rocks easily and even the hardest rocks experience significant changes or are totally destroyed over time. The water of the streams manages to break down the rocks into small or big pieces, and as it does it moves them away. The rocks that are carried are constantly colliding with other rocks along the way, causing even more pieces to break and to be eroded, thus the grinding type of stream erosion.
