Answer:

c) degree of myelination of the axon

Explanation:

The myelin sheath covers many axons in central nervous system (CNS) ( by oligodendrocytes) and in the peripheral nervous system (PNS) (by Schwann cells). Their function is to insulate axons and to increase the speed at which information travels from one nerve cell to another.

Nerve conduction velocity is specific to each individual and depend on the level to which that axon is myelinated, but also on  an axon's diameter.

Alleles of the gene that determines seed coat patterns in lentils can be organized in dominance series: marbled > spotted = d
SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

a.The phenotypic proportions obtained after having the genotypes are 50% marbled seeds, 25% spotted and dotted seeds since they are codominant, 25% spotted seeds.

b. Taking into account the F1 genotypes in the previous point, the expected phenotypes for the first crossing are 100% marbled seeds and for the second crossing 100% dotted seeds.

Explanation:

Let's suppose:

Marbled allele: M

Spotted allele: S

Dotted allele: D

Allele for Clear: C

a. Because both crosses were between homozygous parents, the entire F1 genotype is the same.

For the first crossing the descendants have the MS genotype, and for the second crossing the descendants have the DC genotype. It is enough to make a Punnett square to obtain the different combinations of genotypes between the crossing of MS and DC.
