Suppose that the "fabulous" phenotype is controlled by two genes, A and B, as shown in the diagram below. Allele A produces enou
vitfil [10]

Answer:

The expected ratio of the F_2 generation from F_1 generation will be

<u>9 "fabulous": 3 "smashing": 4 "plain" </u>

Explanation:

The expression of the phenotype will follow Mendel's Dihybrid cross.

plain→smashing

(only when allele A is present, which produces Enzyme 1)

smashing→fabulous

(only when allele B is present, which produces Enzyme 2)

Keeping the above statements in mind, in F_2 generation, only the genotypes having both A and B alleles will express phenotype "fabulous",as both Enzyme 1 and Enzyme 2 are required for that. The genotype having at-least one A allele and no B allele will produce the phenotype "smashing", as Enzyme 1,produced by allele A, will convert "plain" into "smashing". Hence, the dihybrid cross will as in the attachment.

What conditions are possible reasons for declining genetic diversity of a species? Select all correct answers.
yan [13]

Some conditions that are possible reasons for declining genetic diversity of a species;

▪︎loss of habitat

▪︎inbreeding

Explanation:

Loss of habitat will definitely reduce diversity because it reduces the population size from increased competition for reduced resources. Some subspecies may be completely eliminated when their niche is completely lost.

Inbreeding also reduces diversity because it results in the expression of recessive genes in a population that are mostly disadvantageous. High inbreeding rates will result in most individuals not reaching maturity to pass down their genes to the next generations.

Which photoreceptor cells respond to the longest wavelengths of light, ranging from approximately 500-700 nm?
Nataliya [291]
The rods are photoreceptor cells that respond to the longest wavelengths of light, ranging from approximately 500-700 nm. Rods are responsible for vision at low light levels (scotopic vision). 
The cones, on the otehr hand are the other <span>photoreceptors in the human retina that </span>are active at higher light levels (photopic vision).
