If a scientist is studying an infectious agent in a lab, it is very important to understand the implications of evolution because then the scientist will be able to predict how the agent will adapt to different hosts.

1a. The parent is homozygote dominant and homozygote recessive where red(R) is the dominant trait and white(r) is the recessive trait. The genotype of the parents should be:

homozygote dominant= RR

homozygote recessive= rr


1b. To find the possible offspring, you need to know the possible gametes from each parent and make a punnet square with it.

RR

possible gamete= 100% R


rr

possible gamete= 100% r


punnet square of the offspring:

    R  

r   Rr

The answer is 100% Rr


1c. Red flower is a phenotype. This because red is dominant, phenotype will be expressed when the gene is homozygote dominant or heterozygote. The offspring from the cross is 100% heterozygote, so the chance for red flower would be 100% too.


1d. White flower is a phenotype. This because white is recessive, phenotype will be expressed when the gene is homozygote recessive only. The offspring from the cross is 100% heterozygote which mean 0% chance for homozygote recessive. So the chance for white flower would be 0%.



2.
The purple stem(P) is dominant of green stem(p) and red fruit(R) is dominant over yellow fruit(r).
Both parents for the crossing is heterozygote for both traits, so the phenotype and genotype would be green stem and yellow fruit(Pp Rr)

PpRr possible gamete: PR, Pr, pR, pr
The punnet square should be 4x4 with the possible gamete above. It is hard to draw in here but the phenotype should be at 9:3:3:1 ratio

3a. Brown allele is dominant to all other traits. That means you need at least 1 brown allele to make the cat has brown eyes phenotype. The possible phenotype would be:
C^{W}C^{W}
C^{W}C^{N}
C^{W}C^{Y}
C^{W}C^{B}
The total is 4 possible genotype

3b. The grey allele is dominant to blue, but recessive to brown and green. Grey eye phenotype would need at least one grey allele, without the brown or green allele. The possible genotype would be:
C^{Y}C^{Y}
C^{Y}C^{B}
The total is 2 possible genotype

3c. Green eye cat will need at least green allele without brown allele.  The punnet square should be:

    W     Y
N WN  YN
Y  WY  YY
The phenotype of the offspring is WN(brown), WY(brown), YN(green), YY(grey). So, the chance for green eye would be 1/4 = 25%

Veronika [31]

Answer:

The 5 trees that did not live couldn't receive nutrients as well as the others.

Explanation:

A hypothesis doesn't have to be a perfect statement, it is mainly a scientific guess that is further taken to the experimental level and research level. Your answer could consist of anything as long as it makes logical sense.

sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:(A) Paleoanthropology

Explanation:

Anthropology is discipline which studies about human beings their evolutionary development, culture and societies.

Paleoanthropology is the branch of anthropology which studies the early development of the anatomically the modern humans. This is done through reconstruction of the kinship lines which can be achieved with biological evidences like skeletal remains, footprints, fragments of bones and cultural evidences like stone tools, and artifacts formed and developed by modern humans.

According to the given situation, the chimpanzees were seen to develop weapon against the small primates called as galagos. As chimpanzees were the ancestors of modern humans thus paleoanthropology, which is the primary type of biological anthropology can be used to address the research.
