Answer:

Explanation:

Among rabbits, short hair is dominant over long hair. What would be the appearance of the

rabbits if a heterozygous short hair female were mated with a homozygous short hair male?

Answer:

Genotype                  Phenotype                      

SS                 1/4          Short hair         3/4

Ss                 2/4         Short hair          3/4

ss                  1/4          Long hair          1/4

Explanation:

Both are heterozygous for the trait so we can expect that the cross would be:

Ss x Ss

    S     s

S  SS   Ss

s   Ss   ss

So the resulting off-spring would have the following genotype and phenotype:

1 out of 4 will have a genotype of SS.

2 out of 4 or half will have a genotype of Ss.

1 out of 4 will have a genotype of ss.

But because short hair is dominant the phenotype ratios would differ because Ss and SS would express short hair, so we add up their ration:

Short hair: 1/4 + 2/4 = 3/4

Long hair:  1/4

So in summary:

Genotype                  Phenotype                      

SS                 1/4          Short hair         3/4

Ss                 2/4         Short hair        

ss                  1/4          Long hair          1/4

skad [1K]

Answer:

25% colorblind daughter: 25% colorblind son: 25% carrier daughters with normal vision: 25% normal son.

Explanation:

The genotype of a color-blind man is X^cY and the genotype of the heterozygous carrier female is X^cX. A cross between X^cY and X^cX would produce a progeny in following ratio=  

25% colorblind daughter: 25% colorblind son: 25% carrier daughters with normal vision: 25% normal son.

Therefore, the couple is likely to have 50% normal son and 50% affected son. Likewise, the couple is likely to have 50% normal daughters and 50% colorblind daughters.

Nitrogen is a nutrient that organisms need to produce (12) . Plants and animals cannot use the nitrogen that makes up a large pe
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

12. Protein 13. Atmosphere 14. Nitrogen fixation 15. Plants 16. Consumers 17. Urinate 18. Decay 19. Decomposers 20. Ammonia 21. Denitrification

Explanation:

<em>12. Protein</em>

Nitrogen is essential to organisms. It is the main constituent of amino acids, which is the building blocks of protein in organisms.

<em>13. Atmosphere</em>

Nitrogen occurs naturally as gas in the earth’s atmosphere, accounts for about 78% of gases found in the atmosphere. This gaseous Nitrogen which is inert cannot be accessed by plants and animals for use.

<em>14. Nitrogen fixation</em>

For plants to be able to use the gaseous Nitrogen in the atmosphere, Nitrogen fixation has to take place. It involves the turning of gaseous Nitrogen in the atmosphere into ammonia. Nitrogen atoms is combined with Hydrogen atoms by  enzyme called “nitrogenase”. This enzyme is present in nitrogen-fixing bacteria.  

<em>15. Plants </em>

Nitrogen enters the food web when plants assimilate nitrogen compounds from the soil to form nucleotides, amino acids, and other important chemicals in life.

<em>16. Consumers </em>

Consumers are mainly animals that feed on plants in an ecological food web in other to be able to use the amino and nucleic acids formed from Nitrogen as a major component. Consumers can be categorized as primary, secondary, and tertiary consumers.

<em>17. Urinate </em>

Nitrogen is very much concentrated in the urine of animals and also in their faeces. As animals urinate, Nitrogen is being returned to the soil.

<em>18. Decay </em>

Decay starts, as organisms die. The organisms start decomposing.

<em>19. Decomposers </em>

Decomposers are the bacteria in the soil that break down the nucleic and amino acids in dead organisms into nitrates and ammonia through a process called ammonification

<em>20. Ammonia </em>

This is the end result of the decomposition of dead organisms by decomposers

<em>21. Denitrification </em>

Compounds of nitrogen are turned back into gaseous nitrogen by anaerobic bacteria. This prevents

Why have fossil's of some extinct organisms have been found and others haven't?
xz_007 [3.2K]
Fossils only form if certain qualifications are met, and some organisms cannot meet them, so they just cease to exist, not a single sign of them. This could happen if they were organisms that decayed completely. Fossilization can include freezing, drying, and encasement, usually in tar or resin.
