In chickens, the allele for a pea comb (A) is dominant to the allele for a single comb (a). A mother with the genotype Aa and a
1 answer:
Answer:
The percent chance that the offspring will have a single comb is %
Explanation:
Given,
The allele for single comb represented as "a" is recessive to the allele for pea comb represented as "A"
Genotype of male - Aa
Genotype of female - Aa
Gamete of Male - A, a
Gamete of female - A, a
Cross between Aa and Aa will produce
AA, Aa, Aa, aa
Thus, out of four offspring only one has "aa" genotype and hence this individual will express the recessive trait i,e aa
The percent chance that the offspring will have a single comb is
%

Surface tension is the property of water which allows for some lightweight insects to walk on top of a pond and not fall in. The molecules of water are held together by cohesive forces. The molecules of water present below the surface experience this cohesive force from all the directions, whereas the water molecules present on the surface experience a downward pull, as the force is not balanced. This leads to the concaving of the water surface inside a small tube.
