GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

Explanation:

Ammonia is toxic to the body. Animals that live in water excrete their waste in ammonia (aqueous) form because it is less toxic when diluted. However, land animals need to convert the ammonia to a less toxic product such as urea before excretion. Ammonia is formed through deamination of amino acid.

If a cross for widow’s peak was conducted between a homozygous dominant and a heterozygote, it is expected that all organisms of

ehidna [41]

Answer:

be genotypically different

Explanation:

Widow's peak is an example of a dominantly inherited trait, this means that any individual who receives even a single copy of the dominant allele would have a widow's peak present in the phenotype.

In the given question, the cross is made between a homozygous dominant individual (let the genotype be WW) and a heterozygote (Genotype Ww).

The cross can be represented as follows :

WW X Ww ----> WW Ww Ww WW

From the cross it can be seen that the<em> offsprings will have the genotype of either WW or Ww</em>, however, since W is dominant over w, the phenotype will always be the presence of widow's peak.
