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).

Explain how the ages of the rocks on the ocean floor support the theory of seafloor spreading​
Dafna11 [192]

The Drilling sample of the Seafloor spreading theory helped in determining rock ages on the floor of ocean.

Explanation:

The formation of crusts of ocean by the process of volcanic eruptions in the ridges of the middle ocean is the theory of seafloor spreading proposed by Hammond Hess. The movement of tectonic plates continuously forms sea floors through spreading of seafloor.  The several evidences in support of this theory has been seen, of which some are – molten material eruptions, magnetic stripes in rocks and rock ages.

The drilling evidence is the final one that was proved by taking samples of rock by drilling in ocean and by bringing them with pipes. The observation of these rocks proved that older rocks were collected from farther ridges and youngers are found in the central ridges.
