Answer:

reduction in birds skeleton

Explanation:

The reduction in a bird's skeletal weight is largely a result of hollow construction of the skeleton. The fusion or loss of individual bones reduces the number of movable joints in the bird's skeleton, making it rigid and better adapted as the internal framework of a flying machine.

Mendelian genetics one of the fundamental laws is The Law of Independent Assortment. The law states that parental traits are passed independently from parent to child. The recessive trait, vestigial Wings, occurs in an approximate phenotypic ratio of 1.3. In monohybrid Cross of heterozygous (Rr) parents the expected phenotypic ratio correlates with the given 1:3 result therefore l can conclude that the parents are both heterogeneous (Rr) for vestigial wings. Normal Wings-R, Vestigial Wings (Parent 1) Rr* Rr (Parent 2) R*R- RR- Normal Wings (Child 1) R*r Rr- Normal WIngs (Child 2) r * R - Rr- Normal Wings (Child 3) r*r- rr Vestigial Wings (Child 4) 1 Vestigial Wings: 3 Normal Wings

slega [8]

Answer:

1:1:1:1 walnut comb

Explanation:

If a cross is made between a female who is RRpp (rose comb) and a male who is rrPP (pea comb)  then:

P: RRpp  x  rrPP

F1: RrPp RrPp RrPp RrPp

This means that all of the offspring in F1 generation will have heterozygous genotype (at both loci). Since it contains both dominant alleles, the phenotype is walnut comb.
