In a snail, an autosomal allele causing a banded shell (b) is recessive to the allele for unbanded shell (B). Genes at a differe

nt locus on the same chromosome determine the background color of the shell; here, yellow (y) is recessive to brown (Y). The genes for shell banding and background color have a recombination frequency of 0.25. A banded, yellow snail is crossed with a homozygous brown, unbanded snail. The F1 are then crossed with banded, yellow snails (a testcross). What proportion of progeny will be banded and brown

Answer:

1/4

Explanation:

We are crossing a banded yellow snail with a brown unbanded snail.

bbyy x BBYY

Next we cross the F1, BbYy, with a banded yellow snail.

BbYy x bbyy

The question asks us what proportion will be banded brown, which is bbYY or bbYy. Separate this into two Punnett squares, one per trait.

<u>Banded vs unbanded:</u>

The chance of getting bb from our testcross is <u>1/2.</u>

        Bb x bb

          b     b

    B  Bb    Bb

    b  bb    bb

<u>Yellow vs brown:</u>

The chance of getting Yy or YY from our testcross is also <u>1/2.</u>

        Yy x yy

           y    y

    Y  Yy    Yy

    y   yy    yy

So the combined probability is 1/2 * 1/2 = 1/4.

Which energy transformation occurs in the core of a nuclear reactor?
Andrei [34K]

It is a fact that nuclear energy is converted into thermal energy in the core of a nuclear reactor. This is because it is part of a power plant fission act, where nuclear energy heats up water in a nearby vicinity.

Neurotransmitters are released from axon terminals via
love history [14]

Answer:

Neurotransmitters are released from axon terminals via exocytosis

Explanation:

Dendrite is the receiving part of the presynaptic neuron, while axon is the transmitting part of the neuron. So, after initiation, action potentials travel down axons to the terminals. Action potential travels through the membrane of the presynaptic cell causing the voltage-gated channels permeable to calcium ions to open. Ca2+ flow through the presynaptic membrane and increase the Ca concentration in the cell which will activate proteins attached to vesicles that contain a neurotransmitter (e.g. acetylcholine). Vesicles fuse with the membrane of the presynaptic cell, thereby release their contents into the synaptic cleft-space between the membranes of the pre- and postsynaptic cells (exocytosis of the vesicle's content). Neurotransmitter ACh (from the vesicles) binds to its receptors on the postsynaptic membrane and its binding causes depolarization of the target cell (muscle cell). Depolarization occurs because sodium enters the cell as a result of neurotransmitter receptor binding.

What main criterion determines major divisions in tje geologic time scale?
bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

A) Times of major climate change

Explanation:

The geological time scale is based on major changes in Earth's climate history. This is because of the reason that climate governs the geological processes on Earth. In geology, we study the ages with the help of stratigraphical data where sediment deposition and the fossils it is hosting are the keys to understand the environmental conditions at that particular time. These conditions didn't change significantly unless the climate was changed. An example is the extinction of dinosaurs during K/T boundary event (mass extinction). The most likely reason is the hitting of a meteorite on Earth that changed the climate of Earth in a short period making it least favorable for many organisms to survive.

On the other hand, the occurrence of huge events cannot be used to establish a geological time scale because sometimes, the changes happen more slowly.

Similarly, shifts in the Earth orbits are cyclic however geological time scale doesn't reflect cyclic changes. The same climate can establish in different ages but these events are not used not as a criterion to establish a geological time scale.

In the end, the time span of humans on Earth is very small when compared with the overall geological time scale. Humans record exists from Pleistocene (2,580,000 to 11,700 years ago) to today whereas geological time scale starts in the Archean Eon (4.0 billion to 2.5 billion years ago).
