1. In snapdragons, the color of the flower is controlled by incomplete dominance. The two alleles are red (R) and white (r). What is genotype of a pink snapdragon? Answer Choice Feedback A. or Incorrect. This snapdragon would be white. B. RR Incorrect. This snapdragon’s phenotype would be red. C. Rr Correct! Since the snapdragon is controlled by incomplete dominance, one allele for red (R), and one for white (W) would result in a pink flower. D. Rw Incorrect. This is not written correctly 2. If a pink-flowered plant is crossed with a white-flowered plant what is the probability of producing a pink-flowered plant? (Hint: Draw a Punnett square to help you answer the question) Answer Choice Feedback A. 25% Incorrect. The genotype for the pink flower is Rr and the genotype for the white flower is or. This would lead to a 50% chance of the offspring having a phenotype of pink. B. 50% Correct! The genotype for the pink flower is Rr and the genotype for the white flower is rr. This would lead to a 50% chance of the offspring having a phenotype of pink. C. 75% Incorrect. The genotype for the pink flower is Rr and the genotype for the white flower is or. This would lead to a 50% chance of the offspring having a phenotype of pink. D. 0% Incorrect. The genotype for the pink flower is Rr and the genotype for the white flower is or. This would lead to a 50% chance of the offspring having a phenotype of pink. 3. Bernadette is blood type O. She has two sisters. One sister has blood type A and the other has blood type B. Using this information and your knowledge of how blood type is determined, determine the genotypes of Bernadette’s parents for this trait. Answer Choice Feedback A. I Ani, IB I Correct! The genotype for type O blood (Bernadette’s type) is “ii”, so both parents must have at least on “i”. Since one sister is type B, one parent must have the IB allele. Since the other sister is type A, then one parent must have the IA allele. B. I A I A, IA I An Incorrect. This would result in children with only type A blood. C. I B me B, IB I B Incorrect. This would result in children with only type B blood D. I B I, IB I Incorrect. This would result in offspring with either type O blood or type B.

Ok I would say look at the diagram. There should be one in some sort of form. from there you are able to determine the percentages. Also if it's in the form of a punnett square it should be relatively easy. if it was white vs black you have too first look at the traits of the parents.
let B - black and b - white (B is black BC it is dominant).
for example, P1 =Bb , p2 =Bb
then, BB - 25%, Bb - 50%, & bb - 25%.
if let's say one parent was BB, and the other was Bb then there is a 50/50.

Hope this wasn't confusing. :)

Which of these provides the best evidence for the plate tectonic theory? (5 points)

kirza4 [7]

Answer:

Seafloor spreading at the mid-ocean ridge provides the mechanism for tectonic plate movement. The Earth's mantle moves through convection, showing that tectonic plates are able to glide. The location of the plates was determined by locating their boundaries, using data on the Earth's magnetic field.

16. Immunity that can be acquired naturally, such as when we are exposed to a bacterial or viral infection (such as measles), or

Gnesinka [82]

Answer: Adaptive immunity

Explanation:

The adaptive immunity is also known as acquired immunity. It is a sub system of the overall immunity.

It can defined as the immunity which is not present in the body when we are born. It develops in the body when it is exposed to the pathogens no matter it is natural or artificial.

The acquired immunity can develop in the body and makes the body susceptible to infections and develops prevention for the next time when the body will be exposed for the next time.

Which mutations is most likely to cause a phenotypic change?

melomori [17]

The question is incomplete. The complete question is as follows:

Which of the following mutations is most likely to cause a phenotypic change?

A) a duplication of all or most introns

B) a large inversion whose ends are each in intergenic regions

C) a nucleotide substitution in an exon coding for a transmembrane domain

D) a single nucleotide deletion in an exon coding for an active site

E) a frameshift mutation one codon away from the 3' end of the nontemplate strand

Answer: D) a single nucleotide deletion in an exon coding for an active site

Explanation:

Deletion or insertion of a single nucleotide in an axon coding for an active site is called frameshift mutation.

The sequence of codons is read during translation, in order to synthesize a amino acids chain and form a protein from the nucleotide sequence. Frameshift mutations occur when the usual codon sequence is broken by the deletion or addition of one or more nucleotides. For example, if only one nucleotide is removed from the axon sequence during the RNA splicing process, then there will be a disrupted reading frame for all codons before and after the mutation. This may result in several incorrect amino acids being introduced into the protein. Disruption in protein sequence will cause phenotypic change.

Hence, the correct option is D) a single nucleotide deletion in an exon coding for an active site .
