We know that purebred means that the organism contains the same alleles for the trait and hybrid means that it contains two different alleles for the trait. Dominant means that it will be shown in a hybrid and a purebred, but recessive traits will only be shown in purebred recessive organisms.

a) The offspring of a purebred white (recessive) cow and a purebred brown (dominant) bull, would be all hybrid brown (dominant). This is because as I stated above, dominant traits are shown when the offspring has both dominant and recessive alleles for the same trait.

b) The offspring of a purebred brown (dominant) cow and a purebred brown (dominant) bull would all be purebred brown (dominant). This is because if both of the parents have only alleles that code for brown color, the only color that the offspring can be is brown.

c) The offspring of a purebred white (recessive) cow and a purebred white (recessive ) bull would all be purebred white (recessive), for the same reason stated above in part b), the only difference being that the alleles are recessive and code for white color instead of being dominant and coding for brown color.

d) The offspring of a hybrid brown (dominant) cow and a purebred white (recessive) bull would be half hybrid brown (dominant) and half purebred white (recessive). This can be seen best if you set up a Punnett Square, which is a diagram that shows allele frequencies in offspring. This shows you that the chance that the offspring get the dominant allele from the mother cow is 50%, thus 50% would be hybrid brown (dominant), as the father can contribute only a recessive white allele. The other 50% would be purebred white (recessive) because the mother cow would be contributing a white allele and so would the father.

Hope this helps! :)

Consider the phylogenetic tree. Which two organisms are most closely related, based on the tree above?
Aleksandr [31]
Answer: dinosaurs and birds
Plentiful collection of f<span>ossils of early birds and their most immediate predecessors has settled the century-old controversy about the origin of birds. Birds are now safely declared to evolve from a group of dinosaurs known as maniraptoran theropods. Birds have similar shape of the bones as a variety of maniraptorans have.  A host of fossils have shown also that the maniraptorans lay looked alike eggs as that of birds and they resemble the birds in the way they laid their eggs also. Those reasons prove that they are most closely related.</span><span>
