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).

PLEASE HELP!! Identify a specific environmental factor that will cause a response to living things, and describe how this factor
jasenka [17]

Answer:

A specific environmental factor that will cause a response to living things will be light from the sun.

Explanation:

An enhanced amount of light from Sun will cause the plants to have enhanced photosynthesis. Photosynthesis can be described as a process by which plants use light energy from the sun to convert carbon dioxide and water into sugar (food) and oxygen.

In animals, enhanced amount of light from the sun will cause sweating and vasodilation.

The process of photosynthesis won't occur in animals and the process of sweating won't occur in plants.

Differentiate between cell mass and cell number
sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

Measurement (Count) of Cell Numbers:

1. Breed Method:

A known volume of microbial cell suspension (0.01 ml) is spread uniformly over a glass slide covering a specific area (1 sq. cm). The smear is then fixed by heating, stained, examined under oil immersion lens, and the cells are counted.

Customarily, cells in a few microscopic fields are counted because it is not possible to scan the entire area of smear. The counting of total number of cells is determined by calculating the total number of microscopic fields per one square cm. area of the smear.
