Answer:

A) tortoiseshell female; black male

Explanation:

Females have two X chromosomes and males have an X and a Y chromosome.

<u>The possible genotypes and phenotypes are</u>:

  • XᵒXᵒ: black female
  • XᵒY: black male
  • XᴼXᴼ: orange female
  • XᴼY: orange male
  • XᵒXᴼ: tortoiseshell female

<u>Cross of a black female and an orange male</u>

<h3>XᵒXᵒ  x  XᴼY</h3>

The female only produces Xᵒ gametes. The male produces Xᴼ and Y.

The possible offspring therefore is:  XᵒXᴼ (tortoiseshell females) and XᵒY (black males). The answer is A.

Answer:

Metagenome.

Explanation:

Metagenomics is the study of genetic material recovered directly from environmental samples. The broad field may also be referred to as environmental genomics, ecogenomics or community genomics.

A metagenome is DNA from a group of species. In metagenomics, a metagenome is collected from an environmental sample and sequenced. Again, computer software accomplishes the task of

sorting out the partial sequences and assembling them into specific genomes. The ability to sequence

the DNA of mixed populations eliminates the need to culture each species separately
