In leghorn chickens colored feathers are produced by a dominant allele,

1 answer:

8 0

Basically the male will have CC, the hen will have cc, and neither of them will have I. The key thing is that _all_ the chicks are coloured.

The male must have at least 1 C to be coloured, and cannot possess the dominant I. The hen has cc and/or an I to not be coloured.

That one chick is coloured would tell you little - only that the hen couldn't have 2 inhibitor alleles because otherwise the chick would have to have one and it doesn't.

However, for all of many chicks to be coloured, that means that the hen can't have any inhibitor alleles (otherwise around 50% would be white for that reason alone).

So to be colourless, the hen must be cc. However, if the male had only 1 colour allele (ie it was Cc) that would still mean that 50% of the chicks would be Cc (daddy's 'c' and one of mummy's 'c's).

Hope this helps please award brainly :)

What is the Endangered Species Act? Describe one of its successes and explain some of the current controversies surrounding it.

frutty [35]

Answer:

The Endangered Species Act was formulated in 1973. This Act was made in order to protect the threatened and endangered species of both plants and animals and also to protect the habitats in which these species live.

One of the major success was that there were many species which actually recovered from this act. For example, the population of the Kirtland's warbler increased from 210 to 1415 from 1973 to 2005.

One of the major controversies which arose from this act was that the critics claimed that this act failed to show major recovery of animals. Out of the total 2000 endangered species listed, only 28 species were properly recovered.

How has shark skin been used to inspired materials that slide faster through the water?

sergey [27]

Answer:

Shark skin has been used by many cultures as sandpaper. It's kept shipmates safe in slippery-when-wet conditions. Swimsuits modeled on shark skin are said by Speedo to reduce drag by up to 4 percent. Now, research by two separate groups could lead to synthetic shark skin that would make ships and submarines faster and less expensive to operate.

If Plant A with yellow flower (dominant trait) is crossed with Plant B white flower (recessive trait), what is the percentage of

marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

100%

Explanation:

Yellow flower color (Y) is dominant over white flower color (y). Plant A is YY while plant B is yy:

YY x yy

Yy Yy Yy Yy

All the offspring would have Yy genotype and since Y is dominant over y, all of them will have yellow flower color as opposed to while.

Hence, the percentage of the offspring that will have a yellow flower would be 100%.

What are three processes that contribute to genetic variation during sexual reproduction

brilliants [131]

Crossing over – often, the sister homologous chromosomes of a cell exchange genetic material through recombination of genes.
Independent assortment/random fertilization – there are numerous variety of ways that the chromosomes of the gametes can combine, after meiosis, through fertilization to form a zygote
Mutation – on rare occasion, there is a slight and random change in the genes of a gametic cell caused by environmental factors.
