In genetics, the dash symbol (–) is a "wild card" that stands for either the dominant allele or the recessive allele; for exampl

e, A– means the individual has either the genotype AA or Aa. Two genes that undergo independent assortment affect the shape of the seed capsule in the broadleaf weed known as shepherd's purse. Each gene has two alleles, one of which is dominant for the shape of the seed capsule. Genotypes of the form A– B–, A– bb, and aa B– have triangular seed capsules, whereas the seed capsules of aa bb genotypes are ovoid. What ratio of triangular : ovoid is expected from the cross Aa Bb x Aa Bb?

Answer:

1/16 are ovoid

Explanation:

Hello!

From an AaBb genotype we can obtain four possible gametes AB, Ab, aB and ab.  With the Punnett square we can observe the crossing.  In the second Punnett square we can see the form A– B–

AB          Ab           aB          ab

AB AABB AABb AaBB AaBb

Ab AABb AAbb AaBb Aabb

aB AaBB AaBb aaBB aaBb

ab AaBb Aabb aaBb aabb

AB          Ab          aB          ab

AB A-B-  A-B-  A-B-  A-B-

Ab A-B-  A-bb A-B-        A-bb

aB A-B-  A-B-  aaB- aaB-

ab A-B-  A-bb aaB- aabb

The genotypes of the form A– B–, A– bb and aa B– have triangular seed capsules (15 of 16), while the seed capsules of the aa bb genotypes are ovoid (1 of 16).

N a pond, tadpoles eat algae and fish eat the tadpoles. around the pond, grasshoppers eat grass and, at night, are preyed upon b
Dima020 [189]
I believe that in this community the tadpoles are: the primary consumers. A n ecological community is the set of all populations of all species found in a given place. Primary consumers are mainly herbivores which feed on plants; which are the primary producers of all the energy in an ecosystem. In this case the tadpoles eat algae (primary producer) thus they are primary consumer.
