Black fur in mice (

Biology
1 answer:
Tpy6a [65]3 years ago
5 0
The answer is D) 1/2.

Let's imagine that two genes of the genotype can be analysed separately.

Black fur is determined by dominant allele B. In this case, parents Bb and BB will give offspring with only brown fur:
Parents:          Bb     x     BB 
Offspring:     BB   BB   Bb   Bb
Both homozygous (BB) and heterozygous (Bb) offspring will have black fur.

On the other hand, long tails are determined by recessive allele t. Parents Tt and tt will have 50% offspring with short tail and 50% offspring with long tail:
Parents:         Tt         x       tt
Offspring:    Tt      Tt        tt      tt
Heterozygous offspring (Tt) will have short tail, and homozygous offspring (tt) will have a long tail.

So, the offspring will definitely have black fur and will not affect the fraction of the offspring with black fur and long tails from the cross of <span>BbTt × BBtt. But, </span>there will be 2 out of 4 offspring with short tails which is 50% or 1/2.

Why must you consume carbohydrates in the foods you eat? How does this relate to cellular respiration?
omeli [17]
The breakdown of carbohydrates into glucose. Glucose use to obtain energy (ATP) for the human cellular respiration by the steps glycolysis, acetyl CoA and kreb cycle. In glycolysis, ATP is use to generate greater ATP called the ATP debt. Fat (lipid) and protein (amino acid) also can give human energy call gluconeogenesis but only when critical condition only.

Spiders use their silk to build strong webs, to trap bugs, to save themselves from falling, to wrap their eggs safely, and even
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

The missing word is things.

However, the real question is how one material can serve so many purposes? That is what makes it possible for the spiders web to have a high "utility" value?

The answer is in how the spiders make the silk.

Explanation:

So it interesting to note that spiders do not make only one kind of silk. They vary depending on what purpose it's doing serve.

The most common type is Dragline Silk.

Dragline Silk: This contains spidroins. Spidroins fall under a category of a protein called scleroproteins. Because of its composition, a strand or fiber of Dragline has the same tensile strength as steel albeit more flexible. That is if one produced steel the diameter of a spider's silk, and compared both for strength, the silk will be stronger.

The spider produces Dragline silk in its silk glands where they are as viscous as a paste. From here is pulled out or extruded into lines of silk.

Other types of spider silk are:  

  1. Capture-spiral silk. Also known as the Flagelliform, they are used for securing lines of the web. They are adhesive, very elastic, and possess high tensile strength.  
  2. Tubiliform silk: They are also called Cylindriform. Its main use is for the protection of spider eggs. It is used to make a sac for which protects eggs. This type of silk is the toughest.
  3. Aciniform silk: For preserving fresh prey.  
  4. Minor-ampullate silk: This type is used by spiders for creating temporary support while they are spinning a web. Etc.
