The answer is "bb" because a gene must have alleles that are both recessive in order for the recessive trsit to take over.

Answer:

bb

Explanation:

A single gene coding for coat color in Labrador retriever (dog) is involved here. The allele for black coats (B) are dominant over the allele for brown coat (b) i.e the allele B is capable of masking the expression of allele b in a combined state.

According to Mendel's law of dominance, an organism receives two forms of a gene called alleles for each trait (one from each parent). One allele is capable of masking the expression of its variant form, this allele is called DOMINANT allele while the allele that is masked is called RECESSIVE allele.

Hence, in a heterozygous state i.e. combined form of both alleles, the dominant allele will influence the phenotypic expression. This means that the recessive trait will only be expressed when the the recessive allele is in a homozygous state i.e same

In this case, black coat is the dominant phenotype coded for by allele B while brown coat is the recessive phenotype coded for by allele b. Hence, brown coat (recessive trait) will only be phenotypically expressed when its allele is the same or homozygous (bb).

Within a given species, which two types of cells have the equivalent amounts of dna?
kiruha [24]
The original question has a set of choices. This is within the context of cell division. The choices are:

A. A cell in G1 of interphase and a cell in G2 of interphase
B. A cell in G1 of interphase and a cell immediately after the completion of meiosis II
C. A cell in G1 of interphase and a cell in metaphase II of meiosis
D. A cell in G2 of interphase and a cell in metaphase II of meiosis
<span>E. None of the above.
</span>
The correct answer is C. A cell in G1 is diploid and the cell in meiosis II is haploid but the amount of DNA still equivalent as each chromosome in the haploid cell consists of two chromatids. G2 cells already had been through the S phase therefore the genetic material is already doubled. A cell immediately after meiosis II has half the genetic material.
