n mice, dwarfism is caused by an X-linked recessive allele, and pink coat is caused by an autosomal dominant allele (coats are n

ormally brownish). If a dwarf female from a pure line is crossed with a pink male from a pure line, in the F2 generation, what will be the probability of getting a dwarf and pink female?

Answer:

The probability of getting a dwarf and pink female is 1/2

Explanation:

In mice, dwarfism is caused by an X-linked recessive allele, and pink coat is caused by an autosomal dominant allele where coats are normally brownish.

A dwarf female from a pure line will have Xd Xd where d represent the  recessive trait and the female is also brownish (pp).

A pink male from a pure line will be XPY where P represent the dominant allele but not a dwarf (D).

            Xd             Xd                            Xp          Xp

XD       XDXd        XDXd             XP    XPXp     XPXp    F1 generation

Y           XdY           XdY                Y     XpY        XpY

P        XDXd   x    XdY                        XPXp    x    XpY

           XD         Xd                               XP              Xp

Xd     XDXd    <u>XdXd</u>                  Xp    <u>XPXp</u>         XpXp         F2 generation

Y        XDY        XdY                   Y       XPY          XpY

The probability of getting a dwarf and pink female is 1/2

Answer:

We would be considered as one of the top predators.

Explanation:

There aren't many threats to humans at this point. We're omnivores, so we consume plants and meat. Humans are usually tertiary consumers, on the third trophic level, but sometimes can be on the second trophic level depending on the diagram.

What is a major problem with using foreign cells grown in culture for transplantation in humans?
soldi70 [24.7K]

The major problem with using foreign cells grown in culture for transplantation in humans is the host immune system would destroy such cells.

The body of your child is shielded from external invaders by the immune system. These include poisons, bacteria, viruses, fungus, and other types of germs (chemicals made by microbes). The various organs, cells, and proteins that make up the immune system cooperate with one another. Infections like measles, mono (mononucleosis), and the flu virus can also temporarily impair immunity. Additionally, unhealthy eating habits, alcoholism, and smoking might impair your immune system.

Antigens, which are proteins on the surface of the invading cells, are used by the immune system to identify invaders. Every substance or cell has a unique set of antigens, and every person's cells include "self-antigens" that are particular to that person.

A mouse geneticist selected for increased 12-day litter weight (total weight of a litter of offspring 12 days after birth) in a
wlad13 [49]

Answer:

12-day litter weight is a trait that has an important genetic influence and therefore also a high response to selection

Explanation:

Heritability is a statistical measure of how much of the variation in a given trait can be attributed to genetic differences and how much of trait variation is due to environmental factors. A heritability value close to 1 indicates that almost all of the variability is due to genetic factors, while being poorly influenced by environmental factors. In this case, 12-day litter weight is a trait that exhibits an important genetic component (i.e., a high heritability value), thereby the correlation between parent and offspring will be high and lines selected for this trait will show a high response to selection.
