In cats, the gene for Calico (multicolored) cats is an x-linked trait that is
hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

Considering the <u>whole progeny</u> (100%), there will be

  • 25% Black male kittens, XBY
  • 0% Calico Male kittens
  • 25% Calico female kittens, XBXR

Explanation:

<u>Available data:</u>

  • The gene for Calico (multicolored) cats is an x-linked trait and codominant
  • Calico Females receive a "B" and an "R" gene, and have black and orange splotches on white coats. Their genotype is XBXR.
  • Males can only be black or orange, but never calico. Their genotype is XBY and XRY

Cross: a female calico cat with a black male

Parentals)   XBXR    x    XBY

Gametes)  XB  XR       XB   Y

Punnett square)    XB        XR

                   XB   XBXB   XBXR

                    Y      XBY      XRY  

F1) Among the whole progeny:

  •     2/4 = 50%  will be black (female XBXB and male XBY)
  •     1/4  = 25% will be Calico (female XBXR)
  •     1/4  = 25% will be Orange (male XRY)  

   Among females:

  •    1/2 = 50% of females will be black, XBXB
  •    1/2 = 50% of females will be Calico, XBXR

   Among males:

  •    1/2 = 50% of males will be black, XBY
  •    1/2 = 50% of males will be orange, XRY

A decrease in the resting membrane potential is __________ whereas, __________ is an increase in the membrane potential.
nexus9112 [7]

Answer: depolarization; hyperpolarization

Explanation:

At resting potential (absence of stimulus), the cell membrane of a neuron is said to be polarized with a net negative charge within due to more potassium (K+) ions present than sodium (Na+) ions.

However, an impressed stimuli reverses the ions content as K+ ions flows out and quickly replaced by Na+ ions, resulting in a decrease in membrane potential and a more positive cell membrane. Thus, depolarization occurs.

An increase in the membrane potential (so that it becomes more negative) is called hyperpolarization.
