I am very sorry, but all I can provide is that Dawn must have used the balance incorrectly or her other classmates didn't account for certain factors that Dawn did. I would really love to help, but I would need more information.
Answer:
Genetic code
Explanation:
Genetic code refers to the set of rules by which the information encoded in the genetic material is translated into the proteins. The genetic code is present on the genes in the form of triplets of nucleotides called codons which specifies the specific amino acid.
The codon system of the genetic code rules allows the 4 different nucleotides to form specific amino acids by the combination of the four different nucleotide in the triplets.
Thus, Genetic code is the correct answer.
Answer:
Genotype Phenotype
SS 1/4 Short hair 3/4
Ss 2/4 Short hair 3/4
ss 1/4 Long hair 1/4
Explanation:
Both are heterozygous for the trait so we can expect that the cross would be:
Ss x Ss
S s
S SS Ss
s Ss ss
So the resulting off-spring would have the following genotype and phenotype:
1 out of 4 will have a genotype of SS.
2 out of 4 or half will have a genotype of Ss.
1 out of 4 will have a genotype of ss.
But because short hair is dominant the phenotype ratios would differ because Ss and SS would express short hair, so we add up their ration:
Short hair: 1/4 + 2/4 = 3/4
Long hair: 1/4
So in summary:
Genotype Phenotype
SS 1/4 Short hair 3/4
Ss 2/4 Short hair
ss 1/4 Long hair 1/4
