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.

What connects the proximal and distal convoluted tubules?
Katena32 [7]
I believe that the loop of Henle is the hairpin structure that connects the proximal and distal convoluted tubules. The loop of Henle is composed of the ascending and the descending limb. The descending loop of Henle connects the proximal convoluted tube with the ascending limb of the loop of Henle, while the ascending loop of Henle connects the descending limb of the loop of Henle with the distal convoluted tubule.

The Smiths went to dinner at Cheesecake Factory and their bill was $123.75 plus 7.5% sales tax. What is the total bill? Round to
Vikentia [17]

The total bill that was given to the Smiths at the Cheesecake factory was $133.03

An equation is an expression used to show the relationship between two or more numbers and variables.

Given that the Smiths bill was $123.75 plus 7.5% sales tax. Hence:

Total bill = $123.75 + Sales tax

Sales tax = 7.5% of bill = 0.075 * $123.75 = $9.28

Total bill = $123.75 + $9.28 = $133.03

The total bill that was given to the Smiths at the Cheesecake factory was $133.03

Several factors can lead to speciation. Eastern and western meadowlarks are similar birds whose habitats overlap in the United S
m_a_m_a [10]

The correct answer is option C, that is, behavioral isolation.  

The phenomenon of behavioral isolation takes place when two populations possess the tendency of interbreeding, but exhibit distinctions in courtship rituals or other kinds of behavior. For example, the western and eastern meadowlarks are very identical birds whose habitat overlap in the middle of the United States.  

However, the members of the two species will not mate with each other, possibly as they use different songs in order to fascinate males. The eastern meadowlarks will not respond to the songs of western meadowlarks, and vice versa.
