Answer:

Rats - Virgin Island

Hemlock - Asia

Zebra moulds - Great Lakes

Explanation:

An alien species is one that was introduced into a new environment, but does not have harmful effects. Such alien species are considered invasive species as they begin to have harmful effects on the new habitat. Invasive species can cause damage to the ecosystem, economic harm or human health effects.

Three invasive species are as following:

Rats that came on board ships to the Virgin Islands infested the islands' sugar cane fields and caused significant crop damage.
The woolly adelgid hemlock is an invasive Asian insect which rapidly kills infested hemlock trees.
Zebra moulds in the Great Lakes can easily cover submerged surfaces, obstructing water intakes at water treatment plants and power plants

scalloped (sd) is an X-linked recessive and ebony (e) is an autosomal recessive mutation. What proportion of scalloped, ebony fe

alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

1/16

Explanation:

scalloped (Xsd) is an X-linked recessive trait to Xsd+ (wild type)
ebony (e) is an autosomal mutation recessive to e+ (wild type).

The two genes are independent because they are located on different chromosomes.

<h3>Parental generation:</h3>

True breeding scalloped female wild type for ebony (Xsd Xsd e+e+) mates with a true breeding male mutant only for ebony (Xsd+ Y ee).

The female only produces Xsd e+ gametes. The male produces Xsd+ e or Y e gametes. Therefore, the F1 females will have the genotype Xsd Xsd+ e e+ and the F1 males will have the genotype Xsd Y e e+.

If you complete a Punnett Square with the gametes the two F1 individuals can produce, you will get all the F2 proportions. The scalloped, ebony females have a Xsd Xsd e e genotype and appear in a 1/16 proportion.
