A species of salamander has two tail length phenotypes. Short tails are completely dominant over long tails. A scientists crosse

s a short tailed individual of an unknown genotype with a homozygous recessive individual. Select the answer that correctly describes the potential outcomes of this cross.A. None of the answer options is correct.B. If all of the offspring are short-tailed, the unknown individual is the heterozygous genotype.C. If half the offspring are the recessive phenotype and half are the dominant phenotype, the unknown individual is the homozygous dominant genotype.D.

Answer:

D. If all of the offspring are short-tailed, the unknown individual is the homozygous dominant genotype.

Explanation:

The short tail phenotype is completely dominant over the long tail phenotype. When a short tailed salamander with unknown genotype is crossed with a homozygous recessive long tailed salamander, the cross is called testcross. Lets assume that the allele "S" gives "short tail" phenotype while the allele "s" gives "long tail" phenotype.

If the "short tailed salamander" with unknown genotype is homozygous dominant (SS), the process of the testcross will express only dominant trait (cross 1). On the other hand, if the "short tailed salamander" with unknown genotype is heterozygous dominant (Ss), segregation of alleles during gamete formation would form two types of gametes (cross 2). The 50% progeny would express the "long tail" phenotype while rest 50% will express the "short tail" phenotype.

barxatty [35]

Answer:

The atoms of each element have a characteristic number of electrons arranged in electron shells. The number of valence electrons determines what types of bonds or ions the atoms may form, so the chemical reactivity of an atom arises from its electron distribution. The properties of compounds emerge from the arrangement of their constituent atoms and of the bonds between them.

Thus, a wide variety of molecules with very different chemical properties can be made from the same basic atoms. Each molecule has a distinctive size, shape, and charge distribution, which determine its highly specific ability to interact with other molecules.

Compounds in chemical wastes may contaminate the environment if their atoms are combined in new arrangements that harm living organisms.

What does hypertonic , hypotonic and isotonic solution mean ??
german
<span>sotonic Solution. Isotonic-no water movement across the cell membrane since the concentration of ions are farily equal in and out of the cell. Hypertonic-a condition where cell loose it water content and ultimately plasmolyze due to the higher ionic concentration outside the cell than inside.
