A black guinea pig crossed with an albino guinea pig produced 12 black offspring. When the albino was crossed with a second blac

k one, 7 blacks and 5 albinos were obtained. What is the best explanation for this genetic situation? Write genotypes for the parents, gametes, and offspring.
Black appears dominant to albino
B - black (both BB and Bb genotypes)
b - albino (bb genotype)
This is a problem showing that 1 phenotype (black color) can be the result of two different genotypes (BB and Bb). These two crosses would be the equivalent of test crosses to determine genotype.
A black guinea pig crossed with an albino guinea pig produced 12 black offspring. This is the result (all black offspring) you would expect when breeding two true breeders (Two homozygotes BB x bb).
B B
b Bb Bb
b Bb Bb
When the albino was crossed with a second black one, 7 blacks and 5 albinos were obtained. This looks like the results you would expect between a heterozygote and an albino (Bb x bb).

Answer:

<u><em>A black guinea pig crossed with an albino guinea pig producing 12 black offspring</em></u>

         b         b

B     Bb       Bb

B     Bb        Bb

The genotype of the black gunea pig will be BB in this situation and the genotype for the albino pig would be bb.

The gametes formed will be B, B,b, b.

The offsprings will have genotype Bb. They will be heterozygous black.

<u><em></em></u>

<u><em>When the albino was crossed with a second black one, 7 blacks and 5 albinos were obtained</em></u>

         b            b

B      Bb           Bb

b       bb          bb

The genotype of the black parent will be heterozygous i.e Bb in this condition. The genotype of the albino parent will be bb.

The gametes formed will be B,b,b,b.

50% of the offsprings will have the probability of having heterozygous Bb genotype. 50% of the offsprings will have the probability of having albino bb genotype.

While viewing a water sample under a microscope, you observe a single cell. Which of the following observations could you use to
igomit [66]

Answer:

<u>E.  The cell's DNA is encapsulated in a nucleus.</u>

Explanation:

There are no membrane bound organelles present in a prokaryotic cell. Nucleus is a membrane bound organelle so it is absent in a Prokaryotic cell so it is an evidence that cell is Eukaryotic cell.

While other features mentioned in the question are common both in prokaryotic and eukaryotic cell.

Choose all characteristics of prostaglandins.
krek1111 [17]

Prostaglandins are not stored in cells and are synthesized just before they are released, rapidly inactivated after their release and they are paracrine substances (Options b, c and e).

<h3>Whta are prostaglandins?</h3>

Prostaglandins are chemical substances that act as hormones by affecting surrounding cells in a tissue.

These substances (prostaglandins) are not secreted by specific glandular organs as other hormones.

Prostaglandins are substances that have fundamental functions for the normal functioning of the body.
