Assignment: Using Punnett Squares Exploration

2 answers:

7 0

You should draw these simple Punnett Squares as it's easy to see the answers:

1. Crossing RR x Rr results in all (100%) red cow offspring. 50% will be RR (homozygous dominant), 50% will be Rr (heterozygous).

2. Crossing Rr x Rr results in 3 red offspring (75%) and 1 white (25%). Genotypes though will be 25% RR, 50% Rr, and 25% rr.

3. Crossing rr x rr will result in 100% white offspring. All offspring will be rr.

Answer:

a) First cross is between a a homozygous red bull (RR) and a heterozygous red cow (Rr)

This shows that "Red" color is a dominant trait

So the cross between Rr and RR is

R R

R RR RR

r Rr Rr

Genotypic ratio: RR : Rr = 2 : 2 = 1: 1

Phenotypic ratio: homozygous red bull (RR) : heterozygous red cow (Rr) = 2:2 = 1: 1

b) Cross between a heterozygous red bull (Rr) and a heterozygous red cow (Rr)

R r

R RR Rr

r Rr rr

Genotypic ratio: RR : Rr:rr = 1:2:1

Phenotypic ratio: homozygous red bull (RR) : heterozygous red cow (Rr) : homozygous white bull (rr) = 1: 2: 1

c) Cross between a homozygous white bull (rr) and a homozygous white cow (rr)

Xr Yr

Xr Xr Xr Xr Yr

Genotypic ratio: Xr Xr: Xr Yr = 2: 2 = 1: 1

Phenotypic ratio: homozygous white cow (Xr Yr ) : heterozygous white bull (Xr Yr ) = 2: 2 = 1: 1

Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

The correct answer will be option- Generalist species would be abundant in the biome.

Explanation:

A generalist species is the species that can survive in the wide variety of different resources and the environmental conditions.

The generalist species would be found in the higher number in biome which experiences large seasonal fluctuations with varying precipitation and temperature. The generalist species would be abundant because they can survive the changing environment, change in the conditions and wide range of food.

Thus, the Generalist species is the correct answer.

Match the staining techniques with their purpose.

Dennis_Churaev [7]

A Negative stain such as India ink or Congo red-Look for the presence of a capsule.

This stain method is usually used to stain the area around the microorganism.

B The Gram stain-Divide bacteria into two groups based on cell wall structure (thick vs. thin).

This is type of differential staining used to distinguish organisms based on their staining properties. Gram + and Gram- bacteria stain different because of different cell wall structure.

C The Ziehl-Neelsen Acid-fast stain- Identify bacteria with waxy cell walls such as: Mycobacterium tuberculosis (the cause of TB).

This is also differential staining method which uses heat and phenol to derive dye into the cells with lipid-rich walls.

D Simple stain with a basic dye-Stain microbes a bright color to make it easier to see them in bright field microscopy.

One dye is used in simple staining in order to determinate the size, shape and arrangement of the cells.

E The Schaeffer-Fulton Endospore stain-Identify Bacillus or Clostridium species, such as the causative agents of anthrax, botulism, tetanus and gangrene.

This is a special type of staining only used for the bacteria that can form endospores. Bacteria are first treated with heat and then with malachite green, which is very strong stain that can penetrate endospores.

50 points! pls help!

iren [92.7K]

Answer:

1. Latitude. Kuala Lumpur is located in the equatorial zone, near the equator, so it receives a lot of sun for the entire year, and this explains its warm climate.

2. The main reason for this difference is the altitude: while Minsk is located at 280 meters over the sea level, Banff is located at approximately 1400 meters over the sea level. As the altitude is higher, the average temperature is lower.

3. Jakarta: in fact, it is located at a similar altitude of Kuala Lumpur (just in the opposite hemisphere), in the equatorial zone, while Baltimore is located much more north, so in a colder region.

4. Because they are located at approximately same latitude (just in the opposite hemisphere), so they are more or less same distance from the equator, and they receive more or less same amount of sun light, therefore they have similar climate.

e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

The correct answer is fungi.

Explanation:

Fungi are the eukaryotic organism but they can be present in unicellular and multicellular form. They are different from plant, animals, and bacteria. They are heterotrophic organisms and do not conduct photosynthesis. Their cell wall is made up of chitin.

Most of the fungi are saprophytes which means they take their nutrition from the dead and decaying organism. So fungi play an important role in clearing the waste organic material from the environment so they help in bioremediation. All members of fungi comes under a separate kingdom fungi.
