Answer:

1. BbRr

2. Black, rough fur

3. bbRR

Explanation:

1. The genotype of the parents can be seen at the top of the cross "BbRr". The genotype is what alleles the parents have. In this case, it is the alleles of two different genes - for color and texture of fur. The genotype gives rise to 4 possible allele combinations that an offspring can inherit (BR, Br, bR or br)

2. The dominant allele is usually displayed as a capital letter, and the recessive as lowercase. Without further information, we will assume this is the case. The parents are heterzygous for both traits, meaning they each carry a dominant and recessive allele for both traits. That means the dominant allele will be expressed in the phenotype. Therefore, the guinea pigs will have black, rough fur.

3. Empty box shown in the attachment. We simply read the column and row of alleles that are contributing to this offspring's genotype. We can see looking at the square that from one parent (top) the baby will inherit bR, and from the other parent (left) it will inherit bR as well. This means the baby's genotype will be bbRR

Thread like tubes forming the body of a fungus are called what?

kupik [55]

Answer: The main body of most fungi is made up of fine, branching, usually colourless threads called hyphae. Each fungus will have vast numbers of these hyphae, all intertwining to make up a tangled web called the mycelium.

If there are 32 sister chromatids in a normal somatic cell, what is the haploid number for that cell?

malfutka [58]

Answer:

The answer is 16.

Explanation:

Somatic cells include all the cells in the body except for the reproductive cells. Haploid cells are used to represent the reproductive cells which have half the chromosome as the somatic cells. So if there are 32 sister chromatids in a somatic cell, which means there are 16 chromosomes, then the haploid number for it is 16 chromatids. I hope this answer helps.

Describe how the ecosystem changed from figure 1 to figure 4.<br> no links, please. <br> thank you

AysviL [449]

Answer:

In the ecosystem, the tides of the water rise in each figure. In figure 4, there is an increase in land animals present, and a lower amount of aquatic animals present. In the first figure, there are no birds, however there are multiple in the rest of the figures, this is possibly due to migration in the winter or that the ecosystem has drawn birds near. The types of plants change throughout each figure which is most likely to new adaptations such as more water available. The tides most likely rose because of more precipitation.

Explanation:

I hope this helped.

How are these two process linked by ATP and NADH?

denpristay [2]

Answer/Explanation:

The light-dependent reactions use light energy to make two molecules needed for the next stage of photosynthesis. the energy storage molecule ATP and the reduced electron carrier NADPH. The ATP and NADPH from the light-dependent reactions are used to make sugars in the next stage of photosynthesis, the Calvin cycle.

In some cases, inflammation of cranial nerves accompanies acute labyrinthitis. Which cranial nerve is most likely to be affected

Roman55 [17]

The cranial nerve most likely to be affected hat is evidenced by acute labyrinthitis is the EIGHTH Cranial Nerve named Vestibulocochlear.

Vestibulocochlear nerve dysfunction can cause hearing loss, vertigo, or tinnitus. The dysfunction is a result of the damage in either the cochlear or vestibular portion of the eighth cranial nerve. Damage is between the inner ear and its entry into the brainstem at the pontomedullary junction.

Vestibular neuritis is also identified as labyrinthitis, vestibular neuronitis, and acute peripheral vestibulopathy.
