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

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 :)

Why are groups of small cells better than one large cell at moving material in

kirill [66]

The groups of small cells better than one large cell at moving material in and out because they have a greater surface-to-volume ratio.

Option: A

Explanation:

This happened so as these smaller cells, unlike bigger cells, can quickly and willingly enter and move through the membranes of other cell membranes and permeable coverings. For these smaller and mini cells, it is also important to penetrate and move effectively, distribute and transport products and materials such as nutrients, oxygen and waste across the body without requiring enough energy and saving less space. They are cheaper, more effective and use less room for simple reasons, and most notably deplete less resources.

Alfred Kinsey conducted research to determine what percentage of the population was heterosexual and what percentage was homosex

kow [346]

Answer:

B. He believed that sexuality is a continuum and wanted to classify people more precisely

Explanation:

Kinsey quantified in his studies heterosexuality and homosexuality on a continuous scale from 0 to 6, specified in heterosexual and homosexual experience and reactivity in each story. 0 on this scale is assigned to individuals with exclusively heterosexual sexual contacts and experiences and 6 to exclusively homosexual individuals.

He proposed a model according to which there are many intermediate degrees between heterosexuality and homosexuality. This gradualness was embodied in what is now known as the Kinsey scale.
