Answer:

a) HT

Explanation:

This question shows an animal with two distinct unlinked genes i.e. on different chromosomes. One gene codes for head shape and the other for tail length. The gene for head shape possess alleles H and h, while gene for tail length possess alleles T and t.

According to Mendel's law of independent assortment, the alleles of a gene will separate into gametes independently of the alleles of another gene. This occurs in such a way that each gamete will contain only one allele from a gene.

Based on this principle, an animal with genotype HhTt will undergo meiosis and randomly produce gametes with the following allelic combinations: HT, Ht, hT, and ht. As seen in the gametes, only one allele of a gene occured in a gamete at a time.

Therefore, HT is the genotype possible in a gamete of parent: HhTt.

Oh I know this, It narrows down its characteristics here is an example:

The first step in the key will be organized the following way:

1. a. wings covered by an exoskeleton

b. wings not covered by an exoskeleton

Next, the statements need to lead the observer to the next step to narrow the identification further:

1. a. wings covered by an exoskeleton go to step 2

b. wings not covered by an exoskeleton .go to step 3

Step 2 needs to consist of a pair of statements that will allow for the identification of the ladybug and the grasshopper:

2. a. body has a round shape .ladybug

b<span>. body has an elongated shape .grasshopper</span>

Please help!!! I don't know how to tell if they self pollinate or not.
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

The first flower can self pollinate because it is open, so the wind will pollinate it.

Explanation: Flower b will not self pollinate because it is not open, so it will not pollinate until a bird or moose or any other animal comes and eats it, then poops it out, so the seeds get planted.
