In guinea pigs, black fur (B) is dominant over white fur (b) and rough fur (R) is dominant over smooth fur (r). A cross between

two guinea pigs hybrid for both traits (BbRr x BbRr) produces someoffspring that have rough, black fur and some that have smooth, black fur. The genotypes of these offspring illustrate the genetic concept of____________.
1. intermediate inheritance
2. independent assortment
3. multiple alleles
4. codominance

Answer:

2. independent assortment.

Explanation:

According to law of independent assortment, any allele of a gene governing one trait may assort with just any other allele of another trait. As a result of which different combinations of phenotypes may arise.

According to the question given:

black fur (B) is dominant over white fur (b)

rough fur (R) is dominant over smooth fur (r)

A cross between BbRr x BbRr will produce 16 off-springs with genotypes mentioned as under:

BBRR = 1 → Black fur, rough fur

BBRr = 2 → Black fur, rough fur

BBrr = 1 → Black fur, smooth fur

BbRR = 2 → Black fur, rough fur

BbRr = 4 → Black fur, rough fur

Bbrr = 2 → Black fur, smooth fur

bbRR = 1 → White fur, rough fur

bbRr = 2 → White fur, rough fur

bbrr = 1 → White fur, smooth fur

It may be noted here that there are 16 progeny with 4 types of phenotypes mentioned as under:

Black fur, rough fur = 9

Black fur, smooth fur = 3

White fur, rough fur = 3

White fur, smooth fur = 1

We are able to get these results just because of so many allelic combinations formed out of the law of independent assortment.

Rest of the options like intermediate inheritance, multiple alleles and codominance do not apply on these results.

Intermediate inheritance is when we get a blended trait that is grey color but no such phenotype was observed.

Multiple allelism is when there is an existence of a third type of phenotype which is entirely different from both the phenotypes which we didn't observe here.

Codominance is when both the alleles show equal impact like if the guinea pigs had a phenotype which had patches of white and black color then it could be codominance. But here we did not observe any such phenotype.

Answer:

C) The frequency of allele T would decrease and the frequency of allele t would increase.

Explanation:

If the hunter is going after monkeys with tufted tails (TT), the tufted tail monkeys would die out from the new predator, letting the non-tufted tails (tt) increase in population.

How does convection cause the landforms
Lelechka [254]

Answer:

The Earth's crust is broken into plates that lie over the mantle. Because the mantle is hotter toward the interior and cooler toward the exterior, convection currents occur, which causes the plates to move above them. ... Volcanoes, earthquakes and mountain building or orogeny are found along plate boundaries.

Plz help!!!!<br> Answer

1) Ecology is the scientific study of the distribution and abundance of organisms, the interaction among organisms, and the interactions between organisms and their abiotic environment. Ecologists try to understand the inner workings of natural ecosystems and the species they contain.

2) Ecosystems have no particular size. An ecosystem can be as large as a desert or a lake or as small as a tree or a puddle. If you have a terrarium, that is an artificial ecosystem. The water, water temperature, plants, animals, air, light and soil all work together.

3) The biotic factors of an ecosystem include all the populations in a habitat, such as all the species of plants, animals, and fungi, as well as all the micro-organisms. Also recall that the nonliving factors are called abiotic factors. Abiotic factors include temperature, water, soil, and air.

4) For aquatic ecosystems, these factors include light levels, water flow rate, temperature, dissolved oxygen, acidity (pH), salinity and depth.


Hope this helped. ;)

Why is the movement of basic elements in<br> ecosystems different from the transfer of<br> energy?
Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

Chemical nutrients and energy tend to flow in the same direction for most of an ecosystem. The big difference is that the chemical nutrients are ultimately recycled in the ecosystem while the energy is ultimately lost from the ecosystem to the universe at large. Energy in any ecosystem ultimately comes from the Sun
