Having homologous chromosomes indicates that the organism is a DIPLOID SPECIE.
A homologous chromosome refers to a pair of chromosomes which originate from each parent. Homologous chromosomes posses the same length, banding patterns, amount of genes, location of genes and location of centromeres. However the genes in the homologous chromosomes may or may not be the same.

A rooster with gray feathers is mated with a hen of the same phenotype. Among their offspring, 15 chicks are gray, 6 are black,
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

Alleles for feather colour exhibit incomplete dominance or co-dominance.

50% gray offspring + 50% black offspring

Explanation:

<em>It means that the alleles for feather colour in the hen exhibit incomplete dominance or co-dominance over one another.</em>

Assuming the allele for white colour is B, white colour will be b while the heterozygote Bb gives the gray phenotype.

Gray rooster + gray hen = 15 gray chicks, 6 black chicks and 8 white chicks.

15:6:8 is roughly 2:1:1 which is phenotypic ratio obtainable from crossing two heterozygous individuals as pointed out by Mendel.

Bb   x   Bb = 1BB, 2Bb, and 1bb

Crossing the gray rooster (Bb) with a black hen (bb):

Bb   x   bb = Bb, Bb, bb, and bb

          = 2Bb (gray):2bb (black)

50% of the offspring will be gray while the remaining 50% will be black.

Pepsin, an enzyme found in the stomach, acts best at a ph of about 2, but it is not active at a ph of 7. why
ipn [44]
It is only active at a pH of around 2 because that is around the same pH as the gastric juices in the stomach which is where pepsin is used to break down proteins.
