Answer: 25 of the chicks will be black

Explanation: Since the chickens are intermediate in colour, that is they are not black, they are heterozygous. Let B represent the allele for black colour and B represent the allele for blue colour, therefore the genotype of a chicken with an intermediate colour is Bb. A cross between two Bb chicken will produce 1 BB, 2 Bb and 1 bb chicks. 1 BB will manifest outwardly as black, 2Bb will manifest outwardly as intermediate colored while 1 bb will manifest outwardly as blue colored chicks.

Since one out of four chicks are black colored, if the two chicken produced 100 chicks, the number of chicks that will be black is 1/4 x 100 = 25. Therefore, 25 chicks out of 100 will be black.

<h2>Answer:</h2>

The water will move in and out freely. The material transport which is due to the water transport will be affected.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Water is a partially polar molecules. Many ionic compounds and ions travel inside and outside the cell due to attachment with water molecule.
As well as water movement is controlled due to its polar nature through cell membrane. and the cytoplasm and outer environment is separate due to non polar cell membrane.
If the water become non polar then the movement through cell membrane will be easy for water. And the molecules dissolved in water will also be transported uncontrollably.

What affects the likelihood that an allele will reach fixation in a population that has undergone a bottleneck?

Igoryamba

<span>the large population becomes smaller. also, bottleneck is when a large population quickly shrinks. the effects of genetic drift becomes much stronger. e.g: seals alleles can be lost during bottleneck and the number of alleles left can shift dramatically in just a few generations.</span>
