In Andalusian fowl, B is the gene for black plumage (head feathers) and B' (pronounced "B prime") is the gene for white plumage.

These genes, however, show incomplete dominance. The heterozygous (BB') condition results in blue plumage. List the genotypic and phenotypic ratios expected from the following crosses: a) black x blue b) blue x blue c) blue x white

Answer:

a. Phenotypic and Genotypic ratio= 1:1

b. Phenotypic and Genotypic ratio= 1:2:1

c. Phenotypic and Genotypic ratio= 1:1

Explanation:

The crosses are monohybrid involving a single gene coding for plumage color in Andalusian fowl. The alleles for this gene exhibit incomplete dominance, a genetic scenario whereby an allele does not completely mask the expression of another, instead it blends with it forming an intermediate phenotype.

In this case, allele B is for black plumage

allele B' is for white plumage

In an heterozygous state i.e. combined allelic state (BB'), an intermediate blue plumage is formed.

A black fowl will possess a genotype BB

A blue fowl will possess a genotype BB'

A white fowl will possess a genotype B'B'

In the crosses between these fowls as highlighted in the question above (see attached image), the following genotypic and phenotypic ratio will be produced by the resulting offsprings.

a) Black (BB) × Blue (BB') : 1:1 (2 Black, 2 Blue)

b) Blue (BB') × Blue (BB') : 1:2:1 (1 Black, 2 Blue, 1 White)

c) Blue (BB') × White (B'B') : 1:1 (2 Blue, 2 White)

INCOMPLETE DOMINANCE INHERITANCE:

<span>5.  In Andalusian fowl, B is the gene for black plumage (head feathers) and B' (pronounced "B prime") is the gene for white plumage.  These genes, however, show incomplete dominance.  The heterozygous (BB') condition results in blue plumage.  List the genotypic and phenotypic ratios expected from the following crosses:  a) black x blue  b) blue x blue  c) blue x white</span>

<span>6. </span><span>In snapdragons, petal color is determined by a single gene locus with two alleles making the "red" allele (R) incompletely dominant to the "white" allele (r).  Heterozygotes have petals, which are neither red nor white, but pink.  a) If a true-breeding red flower is pollinated with pollen from a white flower: What fraction of the seeds (F1 generation) would be expected to produce red-flowered plants?  What fraction of the gametes produced by the F1 plants would be expected to bear the R allele?  b) If two pink flowered plants are crossed, what genotypic and phenotypic ratios are expected among the offspring (F1 generation)?</span>

The organisms that harness non-biological energy and convert it to biologically relevant/useful energy are called __ 1 __ _. The
mamaluj [8]

Answer:

The organisms that harness non-biological energy and convert it to biologically relevant/useful energy are called __<u>autotrophos or producers</u>_. The organisms that consume these are called _<u>herbivores</u>_ (it should end in -ores) which occur at the __<u>second</u>_ trophic level. The number of trophic levels that any ecological system will primarily dependent on the _<u>consumer</u>_ organisms.

Explanation:

 In the trophic web occurs energy transference through organisms occupying different levels in the chain. Each level feeds on the preceding one and becomes food for the next one. The first link is occupied by autotroph organisms, which are the producer. The following links are the consumers: herbivores are primary consumers and feed on producers. Carnivores are secondary consumers and feed on herbivores, and so on. The last links are the decomposers, microorganisms that act on dead animals degrading organic matter.  

Every link has an effect on the superior links and the immediately anterior link, meaning that whenever one of the links changes, the other ones will be affected.  

Autotrophs or producers synthesize inorganic substances, such as light, and turn them into organic matter according to their own needs. These organisms are photoautotrophs, such as plants, or chemoautotrophs. They occur at the first trophic level.

Heterotrophs are those incapable of producing their own organic matter, so they feed on producers, depending on them to get proteins and energy. In the trophic chain, heterotrophic organisms occupy the first, second, or third consumer level, after producers. These animals can be herbivorous, carnivorous,  omnivorous, hematophagous, ichthyophagous, and etcetera. All of them depend on autotrophic organisms.

In the particular case of herbivores, they occur at the second throphic level feeding on producers and being eaten by carnivores.

In general, most trophic chains are composed of 4 or 5 levels, depending on the number of consumers present, and the energy transference between levels.

How does the respiratory system in birds differ from the mammalian respiratory system?
DaniilM [7]

Answer:

Birds require high levels of oxygen and, therefore, high rates of gas exchange due to flight demands. Avian resting oxygen consumption is high compared to that of mammals and other vertebrates, and this increases even more during the flight.

Explanation:

Compared to mammals, birds have specific adaptations of the respiratory system that result in higher levels of oxygen exchange.
