ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

All the offsprings will be black-furred (Bb)

Explanation:

This question involves a single gene coding for fur length in rabbits. The allele for black fur (B) is dominant to the allele for white fur (b). This means that a rabbit heterozygous for this gene (Bb) will have a black fur.

According to this question, a purebred black furred male (BB) is bred with a female that had the recessive white fur (bb). The parents will produce gametes as follows:

BB - B only

bb - b only

Using these gametes in a punnet square (see attached image), the genotypic proportion of the produced offsprings is as follows:

Bb, Bb, Bb, Bb

All Bb (heterozygous) means that all of the offsprings will be black-furred.

An organism is discovered that thrives both in the presence and absence of oxygen in the air. Curiously, the consumption of suga

A facultative anaerobe.

Explanation:

Anaerobes are organisms which can produce energy via the process of fermentation in the absence of oxygen. The anaerobes can be classified as facultative anaerobes and obligate anaerobes.

Facultative anaerobes are those which can carry out respiration in presence of oxygen but can choose to follow the fermentation pathway if oxygen is absent. Fermentation also uses glucose.

Aerobic respiration produces 32 molecules of ATP from one  molecules of glucose while fermentation produces only 2 molecules of ATP . Thus when the organism switches to fermentation pathway it utilizes more and more glucose to reach its energy demands.

Considering all the above points we can conclude that observations indicate that the organism is a facultative anaerobe.
