Imagine that a rancher has a herd of cattle with brown hides and short horns. All of his cattle are also relatively short in sta

ture. If all of these traits were true breeding, what could you say about the progeny of these cattle?a) It is impossible to determine the traits of such progeny—they will likely demonstrate different hide colors, horn lengths, and heights.b) The progeny of these cattle will have brown, black, white, and spotted hides.c) The progeny of these cattle will have short horns, but a variety of hide colors and heights.d) The progeny of these cattle will be short in stature and have brown hides and short horns.e) Since the cattle are true breeding, the progeny of this herd will all be sterile.

Answer:

The correct answer would be option D.

Explanation:

True breeding is a breeding procedure in which the parents would always produce their progeny with the same phenotype characters as the parents carry. This means for every trait these parents are homozygous so their offspring must show a similar phenotype.

In this case, all cattle are true-breeding which means they homozygous alleles show the progeny will also show similar traits which are short stature with brown hides and short horns.

Thus, the correct answer is option D.

8. In chickens, brown feathers are dominant over red feathers. Suppose we cross two heterozygous chickens.
devlian [24]

Answer:

Crossing two chickens heterozygous for the trait feather color, when brown feathers are dominant over red feathers, will produce offspring with brown and red feathers in a brown:red phenotypic ratio of 3:1.

Explanation:

Knowing that in chickens brown feathers are the expression of the dominant allele (B) and the recessive allele is red (b), crossing two heterozygous individuals (Bb) will result in offspring that are likely to have brown or red feathers.

The cross can be represented by a Punnett Square:

<u>Bb X Bb cross </u>

alleles     B    b

B             BB Bb  

b             Bb bb

Where the result is:

<u>Genotypes</u>:  

  • Bb, 50%
  • BB, 25%
  • bb, 25%

<u>Phenotypes</u>:

  • Brown feathers, 75%
  • Red feathers, 25%.

In this case, the probability of having brown or red feathers is 3:1.

Describe the molecules in a solid. How is that different than molecules in gas?
Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

The molecules in a solid are more closely packed than those in a gas. Gas molecules are VERY spread apart, which is why we cannot see them.
