Answer:

<h2>Genotypes of parents are Rr and rr.</h2><h2 />

Explanation:

A homozygous fox would have either two dominant alleles (RR) or two recessive alleles (rr).  

A heterozygous fox would have a mix of both one dominant allele and one recessive allele (Rr).

However, a heterozygous fox can only be red, as the (Rr) combination will make it so that the dominant red coat trait will rule over the recessive allele.

(a).  as given that f 1 generation are 4 red and 3 white , so RED coat can not be homozygous dominant , So red coat will be Rr (heterozygous dominant).

(b). silver coat is recessive homozygous , rr

(c).  genotypes of offspring  Rr, Rr, rr, rr.

(d) yes

(e) yes

ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer: c. Lawn fertilizer that washes into neighborhood ponds likely causes algae to become more abundant.

Explanation:

Eutrophication is a natural phenomena in which the algal growth occurs in the water body due to increase in concentration of the fertilizers and manures being drained from the agricultural land into water. This causes decrease in oxygen level in water, and the aquatic animals in water will not survive due to scarcity of water.

According to the given situation, the growth of algae in the neighboring ponds is due to the drainage of lawn fertilizers into the neighboring ponds being washed from the lawns. This causes algae to grow abundantly in ponds.
