Answer: 25%

Explanation: if you do the Punnett Square method then you would see that both parents would have been Dominant  for the trait, so there is a 50% chance of  the offspring to be a carrier, 25% chance of the offspring to have PKU and 25% chance for it to ave

In a genetic cross between aabbccddee and aabbccddee what fraction of the offspring will be homozygous dominant for all five gen
aniked [119]

Answer:

None

Explanation:

The desired homozygous dominant genotype is AABBCCDDEE. To have an offspring with genotype "AABBCCDDEE", at least one copy of the dominant alleles for the genetic loci should be present in either of the parent. However, both the parents are homozygous recessive for all the five mentioned genetic loci and therefore, cannot have a progeny with homozygous dominant genotype "AABBCCDDEE". All the progeny of a cross between the two parents each with genotype "aabbccddee" would have homozygous recessive for all the give loci.

aabbccddee x  aabbccddee =  All aabbccddee

Only 9 and 10 have to be answered! Thank you.

9: Well big groups of birds are often found competing for food, causing fights and even death due to the fight. If a flock of birds from population A goes to population B, there would be more competition due to birds wanting food and nesting places that are good.

10: Many species evolve to suit environmental changes, but let's say this change in the environment was bad. Pollution, species of aggressive animals, which would eat the food the animals need and cause a downgrade in food leaving the area bare, and hunting, which would bring humans to the area and cause them to camp out, eat the animals and wild vegetables, such,   can cause negative population changes. Due to these things birds could get sick and die off, causing population to go down. If trash and sewage are not cleaned up it could affect the birds food source and cause it to be bad for a long time, the aggressive animals would kill and eat the birds causing a continuous spiral of death, and hunting could cause them to die.

What kind of adaptations could have given homosapiens an evolutionary advantage over neanderthals and other species of humans?
3241004551 [841]

Answer:

humans had more developed 'social' brains than Neanderthals, which enabled us to colonize new habitats and adapt to climate fluctuations

Explanation:

A more developed brain is considered to be an adaptive advantage that enabled early humans to leave Africa and colonize new habitats. Modern humans are able to adjust to new environments, situations, and socialize with other humans because the brain is a social organ. Although Neanderthals were able to occupy an important area of Europe, H. sapiens could colonize faraway lands, migrating into tropical forests, deserts, and glacial lands (colder areas than those colonized by Neanderthals). These early humans formed social groups which enabled them to find food more easily, thus greatly increasing their chances for survival.
