Because water is so good at storing heat energy, it is harder for organisms to experience a change in body temperature in harsher climates.
Based on their function, you would expect melanocytes in the skin to have a higher than usual number of ribosomes.
Ribosomes are cell structures that functions as the site of biological protein synthesis. Ribosomes are present in all living cells where they produce proteins required for many cellular functions. Ribosomes join amino acids together in the order specified by messenger RNA molecules. Ribosomes are made up of two parts which are; the large subunits (which connect amino acids to create a polypeptide chain) and the small ribosomal subunits (which read the RNA).
Answer: The genotype ratio is 2Ff : 2ff
The phenotype ratio is two normal feathered birds to two silky feathered birds.
Explanation: Let F represent the gene for normal feather and f represent the gene for silky feather. F is dominant while f is recessive, therefore a male that is hybrid for trait of normal feather is heterozygous and will have a genotype of Ff, a female that is homozygous for silky feather will have a genotype of ff.
A cross between Ff and ff will yield 2Ff birds and 2ff birds. Since F is dominant, a bird having genotype of Ff will manifest outwardly as blue feathered birds while ff will manifest outwardly as silky feathered birds because f is recessive and must occur in a homozygous condition in order to manifest phenotypically. Therefore, the genotype ratio is 2Ff: 2ff.
