Answer:
Gene: The hereditary material made up of alleles.
Alleles: The alternative forms of a gene.
Dominant: An allele or trait that masks the effect of recessive allele or trait.
Recessive: An allele or trait that gets suppressed by the dominant allele or trait.
genotype: The genome of a particular organism of the genes which make up an organism.
phenotype: The physical traits or characteristics of an organism.
test- cross: A cross in which the dominant and the recessive trait offsprings are crossed to depict whether the dominant organism is homozygous or heterozygous.
law of independent assortment: Alleles of different genes get assorted independently into gametes.
law of segregation: allele pairs segregate during gamete formation and unite at the time of fertilization.
product rule: Independent evens can be calculated by multiplying the independent probabilities.
Addition rule: The probability which shows that one event would occur in a mutually exclusive event.
co-dominant: When the dominant and the recessive trait occur and the organism shows both the characteristics of the dominant and the recessive trait.
incomplete dominance: when the dominant trait is not fully dominant over the recessive trait. As a result, individuals are produced which show neither the dominant or the recessive trait. A new trait is developed in them.
Explanation:
D should be correct....
hopefully this helps you.
Ok on the first question I have no clue but on the second question of going to be the last answer white with a few grey
Genetics affects speciation mostly via mutation caused due to adaptation and environmental conditions.
Explanation:
- The Speciation is defined as the evolution of a species into a distinct species. The cause of this could be several, and some of them could be environmental conditions, mutations, etc
- Environmental conditions include isolation of the species caused by mountain rise, river, flood etc. to survive they have to evolve or get adaptations to living in those conditions
- Mutation happens for many reasons, external factors can also cause the mutations to occur. It will also lead to speciation.
I'm going to use the letter W for this
Going by the question, white is the dominant trait.
WW = white
Ww = speckled
ww = black
4 chickens would be speckled because 50% of the punnet square is Ww
