Feather color in budgies is determined by two different genes, Y for pigment on the outside of the feather, and B for pigment on

the inside of the feather. YYBB, YyBB, or YYBb is green; yyBB or yyBb is blue; YYbb or Yybb is yellow; and yybb is white. Two blue budgies were crossed. Over the years, they produced 22 offspring, five of which were white. What are the most likely genotypes for the two blue budgies?

Answer:

The two blue budgies are most likely to be yyBb each

Explanation:

there are 3 different scenarios possible for crossing blue budgies:

1) yyBB crossed with yyBB

this is not possible because it does not allow for the genotype yybb (white budgies)

2) yyBB crossed with yyBb

again, this cross will not yield the genotype yybb required for white budgies as given in the problem statement

3) yyBb crossed with yyBb

which leaves us with this option being most likely the genotype of the parent budgies who will have white budgies as offspring

Hope that answers the question, have a great day!

Describe the amount of respiratory membrane surface area in healthy adults:
kirill115 [55]

Answer: The respiration is a process, which occurs in all living organisms. In respiration a food or substrate present in the body is broken down into components in the present or absence of oxygen.

Explanation:

The respiratory membrane surface area is marked by the surface acquired by the small bronchi that branches into small bronchioles. Further the bronchioles extent to the alveoli for respiratory gas exchange.

In case of a human adult there are 300 million bronchi which cover an area of 180m². So, the total amount of respiratory surface area in healthy adult is 180m².

Assume that an organism exists in which crossing over does not occur, but that all other processes associated with meiosis occur
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

Option (e).

Explanation:

Meiosis may be defined as the process of cell division in which a single parent cell divides into four daughter cells. The chromosome number reduces to half in meiosis.

Crossing over is the process of exchange of genetic material between the homologous chromosomes of the non-sister chromatids. Crossing over will bring variation in the gametes. Hence, the absence of crossing over results in the formation of gametes with less genetic variation.

Thus, the correct answer is option (e).
