Sort the following in the correct sequence for the flow of energy in a food chain. Start with the first organism on bottom.

________ is a process that creates genetic variety in cells. (2 points)

Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

I believe it is meiosis because there are two parts in which it helps to increase genetic variety. In prophase 1, the genes cross over, which increases the variety. Also, the chromosomes are assigned randomly in Metaphase 1.

Hope this helps:)

In Guinea pigs, short hair is dominant and long hair is recessive. A

larisa86 [58]

Answer:

a. S represents allele for short hair while s represents allele for long hair.

b. Ss (male) × ss (female)

c. 50% Ss, 50% ss

d. 3 long hair (ss), 3 short hair (Ss)

Explanation:

This question involves a single gene coding for hair length in guinea pigs. The allele for short hair (S) is dominant over the allele for long hair (s).

a. Letter "S" will represent the allele for short hair while letter "s" will represent the allele for long hair.

b. According to this question, a heterozygous male is crossed with a long-haired female. The genotype of the male guinea pig is "Ss" while that of the female is "ss". (see attachment for the punnet square)

c. The possible genotypes of the offsprings in this cross are: Ss and ss, each carrying 50% each as they are produced in a ½ Ss: ½ ss.

d. Since 50% of the offsprings will be both short haired and long haired, If they have six babies, 3 of them will be short-haired while 3 of them will also be long-haired.

kherson [118]

Chromosome duplications and deletions frequently result in abnormal phenotypes or inviable gametes. Gene dosage is modified is a major contributor to this phenomenon.

In the field of genetics, we can define gene dosage as the quantitative measure or copies of a particular gene that is present in an organism. Abnormalities in the gene dosage at a particular location can cause severe damage to the resulting phenotype.

Gene dosage can lead to chromosome duplications if the copy number or gene product is more and it can cause deletions if the copy number or gene product is less. Such complications will result in abnormal phenotypes or inviable gametes. For example, in Down's syndrome, the person has a modification of the 21st chromosome as there is one extra 21st chromosome present. This leads to a variety of diseases and defects in the person.

Although a part of your question is missing, you might be referring to this question:

Chromosome duplications and deletions frequently result in abnormal phenotypes or inviable gametes. Which factor is a major contributor to this phenomenon?

a. Recessive diseases are unmasked by additional copies.

b. The genes are found in a novel arrangement.

c. Gene dosage is modified.

Phenylketonuria (PKU) is an autosomal recessive disorder where afflicted individuals are incapable of metabolizing the amino aci

zvonat [6]

Answer:

25%

Explanation:

Let's assume that the recessive allele "p" imparts diseased conditions in the homozygous genotypes. The genotype of each of the carrier parents would be "Pp". A cross between Pp and Pp would produce progeny in the following phenotype ratio=

Pp x Pp= 3/4 Normal : 1/4 Affected.

Therefore, there are 1/4 or 25% chances for this couple to have a child with PKU.
