Meiosis is when a sperm and egg join together to reproduce another organism. We need meiosis to reproduce more organisms
Answer:
A) asexual reproduction
Explanation:
Mitosis plays an important part in the life cycle of most living things, though to varying extents. In unicellular organisms such as bacteria, mitosis is a type of asexual reproduction, making identical copies of a single cell. In multicellular organisms, mitosis produces more cells for growth and repair.
Answer:
1) RR x rr
2) Shown below
3) 100% Rr with red eyes
4) Punnett square shown (Rr x Rr)
5) 25% of the offspring are h0m0zygous dominant with red eyes (RR), 50% are heterozygous with red eyes (Rr), and 25% are h0m0zygous with brown eyes (rr)
Explanation:
Let's say the allele for red eyes is R and the allele for brown eyes is r.
1. A cross between a h0m0zygous dominant (two copies of the dominant allele, R) and h0m0zygous recessive (two copies of the recessive allele, r) is: RR x rr
2. R R
r <em>Rr Rr</em>
r <em>Rr Rr</em>
<em />
The F1 generation is shown in the Punnett square above.
3. The F1 generation are 100% Rr. They are heterozygous. Since red (R) is dominant, the rats all have red eyes
4. A cross between the F1 generation (Rr x Rr) gives the F2 generation
R r
R <em>RR Rr</em>
r <em>Rr rr</em>
<em />
5. 25% of the offspring are h0m0zygous dominant with red eyes (RR), 50% are heterozygous with red eyes (Rr), and 25% are h0m0zygous with brown eyes (rr)
