3. Two black rabbits thought to be homozygous for coat colour were mated and produced a litter that contained all black babies.

The F2 , however, resulted in some white babies, which meant that one of the grandparents was heterozygous for coat colour. How would you find out which grandparent was heterozygous.

Answer:

Cross each to a rabbit who you know is homozygous - i.e. a white rabbit. If there are any white offspring you know this is the heterozygote.

Explanation:

Heterozygous individuals are those with 2 different alleles of a gene. Homozygous individuals have have 2 alleles that are the same.

Imagine the allele for coat color is B black, or b white. If you cross 2 individuals who are homozygous for the black gene (BB), they would only produce black rabbits in the F1 (BB). If you cross the F1, they could only produce BB rabbits in the F2.

However, if you cross a heterozygous rabbit with a homozygous black rabbit (Bb x BB), you would get either BB or Bb rabbits in the F1. However, intercrossing them could produce BB, Bb, or bb rabbits. Therefore, white rabbits can be produced.

You know that white rabbits are bb. So if you are unsure about the genotype of the black rabbit, you can cross it with a white rabbit (either BB x bb or Bb x bb). If any white rabbits appear in the F1, you know there must be a b allele in the black rabbit genotype, so that rabbit must be heterozygous.

The picture represents a structure of the respiratory system.
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

to exchange oxygen with carbon dioxide  

Explanation:

The structure depicted in the figure are called alveoli which are sponge like in nature. They are the primary site for the exchange of carbon di oxide and oxygen from and to the bloodstream.

Structurally they are like tiny balloons that look like a bunch of grapes as depicted in figure. They are present at the extreme end of the respiratory system after bronchioles. They are arranged in the form of groups of these small balloon like structures.These are the final sites where carbon dioxide leave and oxygen enter in our blood.

When air enters into our nose, it passes through different structures like larynx,  trachea and lungs. There are many smaller structures in lungs like a maze,like bronchi, bronchioles and after bronchioles the air reaches into alveoli.

Since alveoli are extremely tiny and thin structures containing a network of capillaries embedded in them, these are the sites where gases are able to exchange. CO2 leaves and O2 enters the blood.To get inside the blood, oxygen moves through the process of diffusion into the alveolar epithelium, that is a  capillary endothelium and a thin interstitial space.


Hope it help!
