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

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

List, in order, all the vessels blood must flow through to get from the abdominal aorta into the kidney and back to the inferior

Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

Kidneys are the important organ of excretion. Human kidneys are bean shaped located below the rib cage. Different vessels are involved in the transportation of blood from the abdominal aorta and back to the inferior vena cava.

The order of blood vessels are:

The blood enters in the aorta and and moves to the renal artery. Then the blood moves to the interlobar artery via segmental artery. The blood enters in the afferent glomerular arteriole from the arcuate artery and cortical radiate artery. Glomerulus receive the blood from the afferent glomerular arteriole. Then, the blood moves to the efferent glomerular arteriole. The blood then enters in the cortical radiate vein via peritubular capillaries and vasa recta. The blood moves back to the inferior vena cava from the arcuate vein, interlobar vein and renal vein.

Some bacteria live in the roots of plants like soybeans and peas.

PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

Nitrogen is the most commonly limiting nutrient in plants. Legumes use nitrogen fixing bacteria, specifically symbiotic rhizobia bacteria, within their root nodules to counter the limitation. Rhizobia bacteria convert nitrogen gas (N2) to ammonia (NH3) in a process called nitrogen fixation.
