Black fur (B) is dominant to white fur (b) in guinea pigs. An F1 cross was conducted and resulted in 100% heterozygous guinea pi
Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

D. 1 BB : 2 Bb : 1 bb

Explanation:

This question involves a single gene coding for fur color in guinea pig. Black fur (B) is dominant over white fur (b). This means that, as stated in the question, if a black fur parent (BB) is crossed with a white fur parent (bb), a 100% heterozygous offspring (Bb) with black fur will result.

If two heterozygous guinea pigs are crossed i.e. Bb × Bb, the following gametes will be produced by each heterozygous parent:

Bb = B and b

Using these gametes in a punnet square (see attached image), offsprings with the following genotypic ratio will be produced:

1 BB : 2 Bb : 1 bb

BB and Bb = black fur guinea pigs

bb = white fur guinea pigs

PLEASE HELP! In this simulation, the masses of the planets were all the same. Do you think if the masses of the planets were dif
Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

It would certainly make a difference.

Explanation:

The mass of a planet determines how thick the planets atmosphere would be, if it can even sustain an atmosphere. If all the masses are the same, all of the large planets would not be able to sustain life, while all of the smaller, denser planets still have a chance.

The mass of a planet also affects it’s gravitational pull. If all of the planets had the same mass, they would all have the same gravitational pull, meaning that they would all attract the same amount of asteroids, meteors, and other spacial objects.

Overall, the simulation would certainly be different, for many, many reasons. The above are only two, and if you would like more, just add a comment and I can give you more.

If one DNA strand is 5'-GGCATTACACTAGGCCT-3', what is the complementary srand?<br>​
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

3' - CCGTAATGTGATCCGGA - 5'

Explanation:

In DNA, the leading strand builds from a 5' to 3' direction and the lagging strand (complementary strand) must build from a 3' to 5' direction.

The base-pairing rules for DNA are:

- adenine always pairs to thymine (A to T) (T to A)

- guanine always pairs to cytosine (G to C) (C to G)
