Crosses between two tailless mice produces tailless and wild-type offspring in a 2:1 ratio. Tailless mice crossed with wild-type

Answer:

In first generation one allele pair with an offspring  is lethal, hence the phenotypic ration is 2:1

Explanation:

Let the allele representing the  tailless trait with in mice be "t"

the allele representing the wild-type offspring  trait with in mice be "t+"

Generation I

Genotype of tailless mice is "tt+"

Cross between two tailless mice will produce following offspring

tt+ * tt+

tt, tt+, tt+, t+t+

Out of four offspring, the one with genotype "tt" is lethal, thus ration of tailless and wild-type offspring is

2:1

Generation I

Genotype of tailless mice is "tt+"

Genotype of wild-type offspring  is "t+t+"

Tailless mice crossed with wild-type mice produce-

tt+ * t+t+

tt+, tt+, t+t+,  t+t+

Ratio of tailless to wild-type progeny is

2:2

1:1

Ulleksa [173]

Answer No 1)

Natural selection tends to favour those organisms which are better adapted to live in an environment. In the case of the male pom-pom monkey, the organisms which possesses long bright puffs of turquoise fur were better adapted to live in the environment as they could keep themselves warm through insulation. As these organisms were better adapted, they were favoured by natural selection. Over time, the allelic frequencies changed and these organisms became abundant through the process of evolution.

Answer No 2)

1) We can produce other colour berries in the island of Hoi Polloi by selective breeding. In this type f breeding, we can breed the green berry plants with other coloured berry plants to get the desired results.

2) If other coloured berry plants are placed in Hoi Polloi island, then their population will increase rapidly with time.

Answer No 3)

The student was incorrect because only the genetic traits can be transferred from the parents to the offsprings. Other traits, which are acquired by the organism by living in an environment and not incorporated into the genome cannot be transferred from the parents to the offsprings. Hence, due to this, the pigs who had sharpened their tusks cannot pass these characteristics to their offsprings.

When a motor neuron and the skeletal muscle cell it innervates are at rest:?
Nuetrik [128]

<span>Particularly the skeletal muscles at rest gain most of their energy from the aerobic respiration of fatty acids. Hence fatty acids provide the majority of the energy for muscle metabolism when a person is exercising at 25% of VO2max. However, the motor neuron is at rest when a neuron is not receiving any input there will be a potential difference. Thus, the potential difference measured when the neuron is inactive and it is caled the resting membrane potential. </span>
