Cats have a gene that codes for the colour of their fur.Suppose that a certain breed of cat can have black, gray, or white fur.

Black fur is dominant, white fur is recessive, and gray fur is intermediate (i.e., cats with gray fur possess one allele for black fur and one for white fur).If agray a cat and a white cat have kittens,what phenotype could the kitten exhibit?

<h2>Phenotype of the kitten exhibit</h2>

Explanation:

  • By the help of Punnet square  Let's call black 'B' and white 'b'
  • Being intermediate, gray cats will have the alleles 'Bb'
  • Being recessive, white cats will have the alleles 'bb'
  • Cross between black and white colour: B X b=Bb            
  •  punnet square:                

                       B     b  

                   b  Bb   bb

                   b   Bb   bb

  • Bb = Gray
  • bb = White
  • So the cats can have gray or white fur
  • hence, the right answer is "gray or white fur".

In a certain species of plant, the allele to produce green melons (G) is dominant over the allele to produce yellow melons (g).
marishachu [46]

Answer:

4.26

Explanation:

Let the green-melon parents be Gg, then we expect the cross with the yellow-melon plant gg so as to produce 50% Gg and other 50% of gg offspring. What we observed was that 53 green and a 41 yellow. Based on the total number of 94 offspring , we expected half and a half ratios to be 47 of each color.

                                Observed(o)   Expected(e)   (o-e)    $(o-e)^2$      $(o-e)^2/e$

Green-melon plant        53                    47               6          36             0.766

Yellow-melon plant        41                    47              -6          36             0.766

Therefore the chi-square value is 1.53 which is less than the critical value of 3.84. Therefore, the null hypothesis is accepted.

Hey y'all I need help with this bio question: what are the pros and cons of different skin tones in different parts of the world
d1i1m1o1n [39]
Oh this one is so cool!

It basically all boils down to Vitamin D! We need this essential vitamin to help our body build hormones and regulate calcium. Our bodies make Vitamin D when we are exposed to the UV rays found in sunlight. But as we all know, too much sunlight isn’t good because these UV rays can harm us. Melanin (the chemical that our bodies produce to darken skin tone and hair color) provides protection from UV rays by absorbing them. However, this means that the more melanin that is produced by someone’s body results in less absorption of UV rays and a decrease in Vitamin D production. But for someone living around the equator or in the tropics that doesn’t matter because there’s lots of sun all the time. So for humans living in these areas where there’s lots of sunlight year round, it’s beneficial to have darker skin to protect from the harm of UV rays. People living in these areas still get plenty of Vitamin D though because of that year round sunshine.

Now what about those who’s skin has less melanin, such as those found in the higher latitudes? Well with less sunlight year round, their bodies had to adapt to be able to get enough Vitamin D. So less melanin is produced by the body in order to absorb the lesser amounts of UV rays to make Vitamin D. Lighter skin is, therefore, more beneficial the farther away you go from the tropics.

So essentially:
Pro of Darker Skin tones
-Protection from harmful UV rays

Con of Darker Skin tones
-Less absorption of UV rays and less production of Vitamin D

Pro of Lighter Skin tones
-Greater absorption of UV rays and more Vitamin D production

Con of Lighter Skin tones
-Less protection from harmful UV rays (resulting in sunburns and, in extreme cases, skin cancer)

This is of course the biology answer. The social impacts of different skin tones is a whole different story that you can ask in the history section.

1. cell membranes are partialy permeable, only allowing passage to some certain molecules.

2. diffusion is the movement of molecules across partially permeable membrane down concentration gradient.

3. the molecules are too big to pass through partially permeable membrane. the concentration of the molecule might be higher in the cell than in the solution/surroundings.
