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

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.

Hello! I have a question and I ask if you can make it a bit detailed. I am struggling to understand the Calvin Cycle in the proc
igomit [66]

Absolutely!  The Calvin Cycle is a process that takes place within the stroma of chloroplasts during photosynthesis.  This cycle is a light-independent reaction because it does not need sunlight to fully develop.  The process is, however, dependent on ATP and NADHP from those light reactions.

If you want a really good study guide for the Calvin Cycle, just follow this link; it helps A LOT!

Most organisms can be divided into two categories - prokaryotes and eukaryotes. What is the main difference between these two ca
Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

The main difference between Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic cell is that, eukaryotes contain membrane bound organelles like nucleus where as prokaryotes do not. The genetic material is present at the center and is called nucleoid in prokaryotes.

Explanation:

Example of prokaryotes include bacteria and archea bacteria. Examples of eukaryotes include plants and animals. Prokaryotes lack organelles such as mitochondria, endoplasmic resticulum and lysosomes which are present in eukaryotes. Both the groups contain ribosomes but its 70s ribosome in prokaryotes and 80s ribosomes in eukaryotes.

How many chromosomes would be present in a cell after anaphase of Mitosis?
During anaphase, sister chromatids separate to opposite sides of the cell. Therefore the 4n after doubling returns to 2n at each end of the dividing cell after anaphase. But until cytokinesis (1 cell pinching into 2), it's still one cell therefore 4n = 28
