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! :)

What is fever and explain why it is considered to be a nonspecific immune response?
Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

Body of an organisms have a range of the normal temperature that is maintained by the body by homeostasis. When the range of the body temperature rise above that range it it known as fever. The normal temperature of human body is normally 36-37 degree centigrade. Mild fever is not need any assistance to bring it back to normal range it is doe by the body to fight against infection or change takes place. Fever can be measured in mouth, rectum, and underarms.

It is considered as nonspecific response mechanism as it is take place due to different type of reasons and its affect or mechanisms is same for all, not specific as the cell mediated or antibody mediated responses of specific defense mechanism.

Answer:

  • <u>Medullary hormones</u>: the epineprhin and the norepineprhin. <u>Five different effects that these hormones produce are:</u> increase heart rate, produce cardiac muscle contraction, elevate blood preasure, increase breathing, dicrease digestive activity, increase metabolic rate.
  • <u>The most important mineralocorticoid secreted by the adrenal cortex: </u>aldosterone.
  • <u>Actions of the aldosterone: 1. </u>Conserves sodioum ions and water in kidneys. 2. Excrete potasium ions 3. Conserves H2O.

Explanation:

The epineprhin and norepineprhin are the most important medullary hormons. They are so important because of the functions that they have. They are responsable for the increase of heart rate and if it´s movement, along with digestive and metabolic activity.

Thanks to the aldosterone which is the most important secreted minaralocoricoid, kidneys conserve water and sodium and eliminate posatium.
