4 0

Explanation:

The influence from radioactivity is inversely proportional to the number of chromosomes , since , humans have more DNA , chromosomes than the insects , and  therefore , due to less chromosomes in insects , they are more resistant towards radioactivity .

As the target of the radiation is the DNA .

Hence , It is clear that insect due to lesser DNA are less prone to Radiations .

Which symbols (genotypes) are involved in the cross to produce the F2 generation of roan cattle?
AURORKA [14]

Answer:

Rr × Rr

Explanation:

Gregor Mendel, the father of Genetics, performed several experiments that led to the principles that govern heredity. He discovered that; an organism receives two forms of a gene called ALLELE, from each parent. According to his law of dominance, he also discovered that an allele is capable of masking another for a particular trait. He called the allele that masks or is expressed DOMINANT allele while the allele that is masked RECESSIVE allele. But in exception to this rule, genetic scenarios have occured.

For example, in cattles, where the allele for red hair (R) is not dominant or recessive to the allele for white hair (r), instead, they are both and equally expressed in the offspring. This genetic scenario is called CO-DOMINANCE.

In cattles, purebred red cattles (RR) i.e. homozygous or having identical alleles crossed with purebred white cattle (rr) i.e. also homozygous, will result in F1 Roan cattles (Rr), which is an hybrid or heterozygote i.e. combination of two different alleles. The roan cattle expresses both the phenotype of the parents i.e. possesses both red and white hairs.

To get the F2 offsprings/generation, the F1 offsprings are self crossed i.e. the hybrids are crossed together Rr × Rr.

The three main stages of aerobic cellular respiration include the following:

  • Glycolysis
  • Krebs cycle
  • Oxidative phosphorylation.

<h3>What is Cellular respiration?</h3>

This is referred to as the different metabolic reactions which takes place in cells in the presence of oxygen and converts chemical energy into Adenosine triphosphate and some waste products.

This type of respiration is divided into three main categories which can be seen above and is therefore the reason why option C was chosen.
