You cross two red griffins with blue eyes and produce offspring that are: red with blue eyes, red with green eyes, white with bl

ue eyes, and white with green eyes. Assuming that the genes for body color and eye color are on different chromosomes, what is the ratio of these offspring’s phenotype?

Answer:

The reason for the offspring to present these genotypes is that during the formation of the gametes, the alleles separate and are inherited independently, therefore they can generate several different phenotypic combinations.

Explanation:

In order for an offspring to present very different phenotypes, as shown in the question above, it is necessary that the two red griffins with blue eyes that were crossed are heterozygous. Thus it will be possible for the offspring to present a wide variety of phenotype, according to Mendel's second law.

Mendel's second law is called the Law of segregation. This law explains that the alleles (which determine the characteristics of individuals) are separated in the formation of gametes and inherited by the offspring of a cross independently, and can generate different combinations of phenotypes, when the parents of a cross are heterozygous.

How can cells from the same organism have such different shapes and functions?
Savatey [412]

Answer: As each cell differentiates, the <em>DNA </em>changes so that each type of cell has different <em>DNA</em> once it reaches maturity. Mutations in the cells’ nuclei lead to new combinations of <em>DNA</em>, resulting in different shapes and functions in the different types of cells.

Hope this helps!

The cell membranes of Antarctic ice fish might have which of the following adaptations? a. a high percentage of unsaturated fatt
zubka84 [21]

Answer:

c. a high percentage of very long chain saturated fatty acids

Explanation:

Saturated fatty acids do not have double bonds (they are saturated with hydrogens), so their tails are relatively straight. Unsaturated fatty acids, on the other hand, contain one or more double bonds, which often produces an elbow or bend. (You can see an example of an unsaturated bent tail in the phospholipid structure diagram that appears at the beginning of this article.) Saturated and unsaturated phospholipid fatty acid tails behave differently when the temperature drops:

- At colder temperatures, the straight tails of saturated fatty acids can be tightly bound, producing a dense and quite rigid membrane.

- Phospholipids with unsaturated fatty acid tails cannot bind so closely due to the bent structure of their tails. For this reason, an unsaturated phospholipid membrane remains fluid at lower temperatures than a saturated phospholipid membrane.

Most cell membranes contain a mixture of phospholipids, some with two saturated (straight) tails and others with a saturated tail and an unsaturated (folded) tail. <u>Many organisms — fish, for example — can adapt physiologically to cold environments by changing the proportion of unsaturated fatty acids in their membranes, that is, increasing the proportion of saturated long-chain fatty acids.</u>

In addition to phospholipids, animals have an additional component in their membrane that helps them maintain fluidity. Cholesterol, another type of lipid that is embedded between the membrane phospholipids, helps decrease the effects of temperature on fluidity.
