Merle is a marking pattern in canine coats that appears as a marbling of color in a solid coat. the merle gene displays incomple

te dominance. cscs individuals display a solid coat cmcs individuals are merle and show patches of fur with a lighter, mottled effect cmcm individuals are "double merle" and show patches of fur with much more pronounced lightening another gene, fgf5, also influences coat phenotype and determines whether dogs display long or short coats, with short coats being dominant to long coats. Part a. determine the proportion of offspring phenotypes that would result when two merle dogs mate, if one dog is true-breeding for the long-coat trait and the other dog is true-breeding for the short-coat trait.

Answer:

100% merle with long coats.

Explanation:

<em>All the offspring produced from the cross would be merle with long coats.</em>

<u>From the illustration:</u>

Merle gene is represented by the genotype cmcs.

fgf5 gene determines the coat phenotype. Let the gene be represented by the allele A. A determines long coat traits and it is dominant over its alternate form, b, which determines short coat trait.

Now, two merle (cmcs) dogs were mated. One is true-breeding for long coat (AA) while the other is true breeding for short coat (aa).

cmcsAA   x   cmcsaa

Progeny genotype = cmcsAa

cmcsAa = merle with long coat.

<em>Since </em><em>A</em><em> is dominant over </em><em>a,</em><em> all the progeny from the cross will be merle with long coat.</em>

Digiron [165]

The right answer is B. controlling the flow of blood to the skin

When the body temperature is below the set point, the hypothalamus activates several thermogenesis mechanisms:

* Vasoconstriction on the vessels near th skin by the sympathetic nervous system to reduce thermal exchanges between the skin and the surrounding environment.

* And increase in heat production:

-by muscular activity:

-by the metabolism:

Jan's sister and mother have both had breast cancer. She is wondering if she should undergo genetic testing to check for a mutat
Lynna [10]
A) Yes, Jan should undergo genetic sequencing.
BRCA1/BRCA2 are the causes of 20-25% of all hereditary breast cancers, so if Jan's mother and sister both have breast cancer, then the odds are that she has BRCA1 as well.

B) 
Pros: If she does have an abnormal BRCA1 gene, she can take steps to lower her risk of breast cancer.

Cons: The tests can incite discrimination towards her in the workplace, and having it known she has a risk for breast cancer can severely increase the cost of insurance.

C) Genetic sequencing could affect the frequency of genetic diseases because the test could point out --- I can't finish because I have to go. I'm so sorry, reask the url of this question and ask someone to finish. Have a nice day!
