Imagine that a couple is planning to have children. The male is heterozygous for tongue rolling and homozygous dominant for unat

tached earlobes. The female is homozygous recessive for tongue rolling and heterozygous for unattached earlobes. The couple is curious about the possibility and probability of their offspring inheriting these traits. The ability to roll ones tongue is dominant (R) over the “non-rolling” condition (r.) Unattached earlobes (U) are dominant over attached earlobes (u) Complete a Punnett square for this cross and record the probabilities for genotypes and phenotypes of the offspring as ratios.

Answer:

 

F1 generation:         RrUu, rrUU, rrUu, RrUU

                               25% : 25%: 25%: 25%

Ratios

  • genotype:              1: 1: 1: 1   ...(from punnet square)
  • phenotype:               1 : 1

Explanation:

Punnett squares are a diagrammatic way of deciding the characteristics of hybrid offspring created by crosses in genetic breeding. Parental genotypes and phenotypes are widely recognized, and all usually obey normal Mendelian ratios and inheritance.

Mendelian genetics focuses on the origin or heritability of characteristics. Such traits are packed into one's own gamete, acquired by themselves, and sometimes display superiority, where one's impact can mask those of another trait.

These are called the Law of Segregation, Independent assortment and Dominance respectively.

For this cross...  Assuming:

Unattached lobes= dominant

  • Rolling tongue= dominant
  • Parent generation or P generation:

Gametes:

R → rolling dominant (R), non-rolling recessive (r)

U → unattached dominant (U), attached recessive (u)

P generation:                          RUrU× rUru

                       rolling, unattached  × non-rolling, unattached

F1 generation:         RrUu, rrUU, rrUu, RrUU

                               25% : 25%: 25%: 25%

Ratios

  • genotype:              1: 1: 1: 1   ...(from punnet square)
  • phenotype:               1 : 1

<em><u>Half the offspring have unattached lobes and can roll their tongues while the other half have unattached lobes and cannot roll their tongues...</u></em>

Mendel knew that the variations in the offspring generations resulted from his experiments because he
sasho [114]

Mendel was able to attribute the variation observed in the offspring of his experiment to the controlled fertilization process.

Mendel was able to control pollination and, thus, the fertilization process in the pea plants used for his experiment.

Mendel was able to effectively predict the outcome with self-pollination or cross-pollination with different results coming from each. Thus, he logically concluded that the variation observed in the offspring of his crosses is due to the fact that he controlled the fertilization process.

Gabriela is sick with a bad cold. Her immune system is defending her body against the invading virus. The first line of defense
Alenkinab [10]

Macrophages are phagocytic cells which are involved in endocytosis. It is a process of engulfing antigen. Endocytosis occurs when a cell destroys something such as a virus or an infected cell.

The  correct steps of endocytosis in chronological order as follows:

6. Cell recognizes the viral particle as foreign material.

1. Cell surface receptors bind to the viral particle.

 4. Cell membrane curves around toward the cell's interior.

3. Viral particle is surrounded by the cell membrane.

2. Lysosome within the cell encloses the viral particle.

5. Lysosome's digestive enzymes destroy the viral particle.

People planted huge numbers of trees and other plans how might the carbon dioxide levels in the graph above change
Alex17521 [72]
I don't see a graph but I would assume since there are more trees and plants there would be less carbon dioxide meaning the graph would start to go down over time since they turn the carbon dioxide into oxygen.
