Also in lizards, color is controlled by a different gene. There are two alleles that are incompletely dominant to each other. Th

Answer:

25% percentage of the offspring will be black.

Explanation:

Let the genotype of  homozygous black color lizard  be "BB"

Let the genotype of homozygous white color lizard  be "bb"

Thus the genotype of heterogeneous grey color lizard will be "Bb"

Due to incomplete dominance, a recessive allele also expresses its trait when both dominant and recessive allele occur together.

Here two heterogeneous grey color lizard with genotype "Bb" reproduce. The offsprings produced are shown in the punnet square table as given below -

        B  b

B BB Bb

b Bb bb

The genotye "BB" will have black color

Thus out of 4 offspring only one is having black color

The percent chance that the offspring will have black color is

\frac{1}{4} * 100\\= 25%

Since between the two alleles (B for black and b for white) there is an incomplete dominance this means that the homozygotes for the one dominant trait (BB genotype) will be black, the homozygotes for the other trait (bb) will be white, and the heterozygotes (Bb) would be intermediate- grey.

So, the two grey lizards have the Bb genotypes.
When they cross we will get Bb x Bb
1 : BB  ( black lizards)
2: Bb  ( grey lizards)
1: bb ( white lizards)

Why is dna replication said to be semi-conservative
Neko [114]

During DNA Replication, the DNA molecule unzips itself so that there are two free strands of DNA. Both of those strands then create new complementary strands of DNA. Thus every subsequent generation of DNA uses one of the parent cell's strand of DNA as a template, which is why DNA replication is said to be semi-conservative. Hope this helped!

A. Secretes hormones
Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

A. 3

B. 4

C. 5

D. 6

E. 2

F. 1

Explanation:

1. Integumentary system.

This is an organ system that consists of hair, skin, nails and exocrine glands with receptors that senses the outer stimulus and environmental conditions, through homeostasis maintain stability of the internal environment.

2. Nervous system.

It receives sensory information and signals, convert them to nerve impulses that are transmitted to the body and brain via the spinal cord using nuerons and axons. It also intergrates, retains and analyses information in the brain.

3.Endocrine system.

Secretes hormones and chemicals in response to stimulus from the nervous system to maintain balance using feedback loops i.e, negative and positive.

4. Lymphatic system.

Part of the immune system that consist of vessels that carries lymph, cleaning the blood by filtering lymph with foreign particles into the lymph node.

5. Urinary system.

Used to eliminate waste from the body, regulates blood pressure, volume and pH. It also used to retain electrolytes and metabolites.

6. Respiratory system.

Used for gaseous exchange using the blood, heart and lungs. Air enters the lungs, transported by blood and is pumped by the heart to all body parts where oxygen is dropped, carbon dioxide is collected by the veins to the lungs and released to the atmosphere.
