4. A male green parakeet breeds with a female blue parakeet: All the offspring are green. What trait is

Biology
1 answer:
Harman [31]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

4. Green

5. 1 Green : 1 Blue parakeet

6. 100% green offsprings

7. Violet color

8. 0%

9. 1 Yellow : 1 white sulfur butterflies

Explanation:

4. A dominant trait is that which masks the phenotypic expression of its contrasting trait in a gene. Hence, the cross between a green and blue parakeet produced offsprings that were all green because the green trait is dominant i.e. mask the expression of the blue trait.

5. An heterozygous green parakeet will have genotype:Gg while a homozgous blue parakeet will have genotype: gg. A cross between Gg and gg will produce offsprings with genotypes: Gg and gg in the proportion 2:2. This means the phenotypic ratio of Gg (green) and gg (blue) is 1:1.

6. A homozygous dominant parakeet means genotype, GG while a heterozygous green parakeet means genotype, Gg. GG and Gg, if crossed will produce offsprings with genotypes: GG, GG, Gg and Gg. Since the allele for green color (G) is dominant over the allele for blue color (g), all the offsprings i.e 100% will be green colored.

7. A purebred flower means a flower that produces only one type of color and is homozygous. Hence, let's say a purebred red flower will have genotype RR while a purebred violet flower will have genotype VV. Hence, these two purebreds will be crossed to produce offsprings that all possess genotype, VR. According to the question, they are all violet. This means that the allele for Violet color is masking the phenotypic expression of the red color. Hence, the Violet color is a dominant trait.

8. A homozygous Violet and red flower will have the genotypes: VV and RR respectively. A cross between them will produce an offspring with genotype, VR. Since the Violet allele is dominant, it will be phenotypically expressed over the red allele. Hence, none of the offsprings i.e. 0% will be red-colored.

9. A heterozygous sulfur butterfly will be Yy while a homozygous recessive sulfur butterfly will be yy. Where Y is yellow allele and y is white allele. If Yy and yy are crossed, offsprings with genotypes Yy and yy will be produced in the ratio 1:1. This means that the phenotypic ratio of the cross between a heterozygous sulfur butterfly (Yy) and a homozygous recessive sulfur butterfly (yy) is 1 Yellow sulfur butterfly: 1 white sulfur butterfly.

Olenka [21]

Answer:

A. Populations of native wetlands plants will recolonize the land.

Explanation:

From many years' wetlands are converted into farmlands as they provide retention of soil, proper food and clean water, and the cycling of nutrients. But wetlands should not be permanently converted<em> because it can increase the load on soil and add pollutants (pesticides or fertilizers) in the soil and  groundwater.</em>

If the farming stops and water flows on the land again, the native plants present in wetlands will help to recolonize the land which is disrupted by farming activities.

Hence, the correct option is A.

How does semi-conservative replication help prevent mutations during DNA replications?
Llana [10]

DNA replication is the process by which two DNA molecules are produced from one parent DNA molecule. DNA replication is semi conservative, this implies that, each strand in the double helix DNA molecule act as a template for the synthesis of a new, complimentary DNA strand. Because semi conservative method has a DNA template that is already accurately formed, the probability of having errors in the newly formed strand is drastically reduced.

I think that for 1 it’s either A or B as the kidneys and everything get air and the lungs release it.
For 2 is probably D as the others don’t really make much sense.
