3 0

Answer:

A) A single base pair change.

Explanation:

Point mutation is a change in a single base pair of a nucleotide. This comes as a results of mistakes made during DNA replication, induced by ultravoilet radiations, extreme heat and X-rays. There are three types of point or substitution mutations; change, deletion and insertion. The nucleotide bases are either mistakenly inserted, changed or deleted, thus changing the resulting protein or amino acid being coded for.

A seasonal color change helps animals in the taiga to _______.
lianna [129]
The answer is a. evade predators.

Animals that live in taiga had to adapt to seasonal changes, by changing their fur or feather color. For example, snow-show hare and ermine live in taiga and their fur color changes with environmental conditions. To effectively camouflage, their fur is white during the winter. That helps them blend into the snow. In the summer, where there is no snow, their fur is brown and similar to the soil color. This way<span> it is more difficult for their predators to spot them.</span>

In horses, Chesnut hair color is recessive to black. The pacing gait is recessive to trotting and long hair is recessive to shor
Vitek1552 [10]

9:3: 3:1  is the phenotypic ratio showing traits as black and long hair : black and short hair: chestnut and long hair: chestnut and short hair when a chestnut horse heterozygous for pacing and hair length with a hybrid horse.

Explanation:

Dominant trait = black hair colour (BB,Bb), trotting (TT,Tt) , long hair (LL,Ll)

recessive trait = chesnut hair colour (bb), pacing gait (tt), short hair(ll)

cross between chestnut horse heterozygous for pacing and hair length will have alleles as BbLl

alleles for hybrid horse will also be heterozygous Bb, Ll

Punnett square to show the cross:

      BL         Bl       bL         bl

BL  BBLL  BBLl     BbLL    BbLl

Bl   BBLl    BBll     BbLl      Bbll

bL  BbLL  BbLl      bbLL     bbLl

bl    BbLl  Bbll       bblL        bbll

phenotype ratio

black and long hair : black and short hair: chestnut and long hair: chestnut and short hair

9:3: 3:1  is the phenotype ratio.
