Answer:

The genotype of pigmented snails are A_b_

The genotype of Albino snail are A_bb; aaB_

Explanation:

The parent genotypes and offspring phenotypic ratios in this table can help you figure out what kind of inheritance is at work.

Parent Genotypes Offspring Phenotypic Ratio   Type of Inheritance

Aa x Aa                    3 A_ : 1 aa             Simple dominance, monohybrid cross

Aa x Aa                    1 AA : 2 Aa : 1 aa                           Incomplete dominance

AaBb x AaBb         9 A_B_ : 3 A_bb : 3 aaB_ : 1 aabb            Dihybrid cross

AaBb x AaBb        9 A_B_ : 3 A_bb : 4 aaB_ : aabb             Recessive epistasis

AaBb x AaBb        12 A_B_ : A_bb : 3 aaBb : 1 aabb            Dominant epistasis

Answer:

a. (A_B_),(A_bb)(aaB_)(aabb)

Explanation:

This scenario is an example of recessive epistasis.

It involves two recessive alleles concealing the expression of an allele at varying locus.

The 9:7 ratio seen in this case is a rare form of epistasis known as duplicative recessive epistasis (a situation in which the other gene expression are masked due to the effect of either aa or bb presence on them).

In this scenario, if snails possess two copies of one or the other allele I.e allele a or allele b, pigment production would be inhibited leading to albino individuals.

A recessive phenotype is seen for a homozygous recessive gene at Gene A or Gene B.

Therefore, the genotypes of the offspring is AABB, AaBB, AABb, aaBb, aaBB, AAbb, Aabb and aabb.

<h2>Answer:</h2>

B. Decreases

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

According to the golden rules of business when the supply increases with the demand, the prices are reduced by the suppliers because manufacturing cost of a single product is very costly as compared to the manufacturing cost of a bulk of products. The same rule is applied to the purchaser if he purchases bulk of products, the cost will decrease.

kifflom [539]

Answer:

a) Maxillopoda is a diverse class of crustaceans including barnacles, copepods and a number of related animals. It does not appear to be a monophyletic group, and no single character unites all the members

b) General Characters of Hexapoda (Insects)

Ø A large taxa, includes insects and a small group of wingless arthropods.

Ø Body plan: 3 parts, head, thorax and abdomen.

Ø Head with six segments.

Ø Thorax with three pairs of jointed legs (hence the name hexapoda)

Ø Head bears a presegmental acron.

Ø Acron bears compound eyes.

A DNA fragment with the sticky end sequence TGGCA will bind with another DNA fragment with the sticky end sequence _____
klio [65]

Answer:

A DNA fragment with sticky end sequence TGGCA will bind with another DNA fragment with sticky end sequence ACCGT.

Explanation:

When a DNA strand is separated by the restriction endonuclease, it forms two separate single strands. These strands or cuts are known as sticky ends as they are detached from the complementary pairs.

These cuts of DNA are without complementary pairs and when they find suitable base pair, they get attached to it. These sticky ends are allowed to fix with the complementary base pairs during PCR/ polymerase chain reaction.

They are called sticky ends as they are ready to stick with the complementary base pairs of nucleotides.

Synthetic forms of the male hormone testosterone that are used to cause muscle hypertrophy are called _______
Greeley [361]
Anabolic steroids are synthetic forms of the male hormone testosterone that are used to cause muscle hypertrophy.

It is properly knowns as anabolic-androgenic steroids (AAS). They are anabolic in nature and increases the protein found within the cells especially in the skeletal muscles. It also has varying degrees of androgenic and virilizing effect which includes inducing the development and maintenance of male secondary sexual characteristics such as facial and hair body growth.

In the 1930s AAS were synthesized and are recently used as a therapeutic medicine to stimulate muscle growth, increase appetite, induce puberty in males and treat wasting conditions among cancer and AIDS patients. It was also acknowledged by the American College of Sports Medicine that AAS, when joined with an adequate diet, can contribute to increasing the body weight, often as lean mass increases and the gains in muscular strength are achieved by doing high-intensity workout and proper diet.
