Answer:
C. 1/4
Explanation:
Let's assume that the allele for the spotted coat is "S" and the one for the even coat is "s". The allele "L" gives short horns while the recessive allele "l" imparts long horns. The genotype of the cattle heterozygous for both traits would be SsLl. A cross between two heterozygous cattle would produce progeny in following phenotype ratio=
9 spotted coat and short horns: 3 even coat and short horns: 3 spotted coat and long horns: 1 even coat and long horns.
Therefore, the proportion of the progeny with long horns = 4/16= 1/4
It is best defined as a "proposed explanation".
Answer:
one with the fewest number of genetic differences in the nucleotide sequence.
Explanation:
A cladogram is a diagram capable of showing the relationships among different species and/or group of organisms. In a cladogram, the root indicates the common ancestor, while internal nodes represent the common ancestors of each group. In consequence, this diagram can be used to establish evolutionary relationships in which the start branch points represent common ancestors shared by the organisms found in the 'branches'. Nonetheless, the length of the branches in the cladogram does not represent evolutionary distances among groups. In recent years, cladograms based on DNA sequencing data have been combined with morphological data to establish evolutionary relationships among species.
