In maize, a dominant allele A is necessary for seed color, as opposed to colorless (a). Another gene has a recessive allele wx t

hat results in waxy starch, as opposed to normal starch (Wx). The two genes segregate independently. An Aa WxWx plant is test crossed. What are the phenotypes and relative frequencies of offspring?

Answer:

  • 1/2 Aa Wx wx (colored seeds, normal starch)
  • 1/2 aa Wx wx (colorless seed, normal starch).

Explanation:

  • A (colored seed) is dominant over a (colorless)
  • Wx (normal starch) is dominant over wx (waxy)

Both loci are independent.

A <em>Aa WxWx </em>individual was test crossed (crossed with a homozygous recessive <em>aa wxwx</em> individual).

  • The homozygous recessive can only produce <em>a wx </em>gametes.
  • The dihybrid individual can produce two types of gametes, all of them with the same frequency because the genes segregate independently: 1/2 <em>A Wx </em>and 1/2<em> a Wx </em>

<u>The possible offspring resulting from the combination of those gametes is:</u>

  • 1/2 Aa Wx wx (colored seeds, normal starch)
  • 1/2 aa Wx wx (colorless seed, normal starch).

Yes

Explanation:

The goat has adapted to its cold environment, therefore will get the trait of long hair. As the goat mates it will pass on its genes for the long hair trait and this will give the offspring the same trait.

What type of ions carry the impulse across the synapse from one neuron to the next ?
grandymaker [24]

It's the sodium ion.

When a neural impulse is fired in both neurons, it is always cause by an excited electron in one neuron moving to the other neuron to destabilize the balance of ions trying to keep them at equilibrium. This action either depolarizes or hyper-polarizes the membrane. If it does, then sodium ions--the key deficient ones--can flow into that region of low charge and maintain that state of low charge, keeping the cell membrane stable.

The species that is known as a robin in England has a yellow breast, and another species that is known as a robin in the United
Mamont248 [21]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

C. Different species can share the same common name.

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • <em><u>Different organisms can share the same common name</u></em>, and thus the reason why scientists avoid using common naming while naming organisms.
  • Additionally, s<em><u>cientists avoid using common names because they are not specific to a specific species.</u></em> For instance, Robin is a common word that may be used to describe the many species of robin that are found in different regions of the earth, for example, Robin in England which has yellow breast, and robin in United states and have red breasts.
  • Therefore, <em><u>for the purpose of avoiding ambiguity and confusion in naming organisms scientists use scientific names while identifying various species.</u></em>
