Answer:
- Half (8/16) of the offspring will have gray fur and black eyes.
- Half (8/16) of the offspring will have gray fur and red eyes.
- None (0/16) of the offspring will have white fur.
Explanation:
For the purposes of this question, we will assume the following notation for the involved alleles:
G: gray fur (dominant), g: white fur (recessive).
B: black eyes (dominant), b: red eyes (recessive).
A GGbb rabbit may only produce one type of gametes, namely Gb.
A ggBb rabbit may produce either gB or gb gametes.
Since not all theoretical combinations are present, the resulting Punnett square may be simplified as follows:
| Gb
——-+-————
gB | GgBb
——-+-————
gb | Ggbb
As seen above, 100% of the offspring will have a Gg genotype (resulting in gray fur). As for eye color, half of them will have a Bb genotype (resulting in black eyes) whereas the other half will have a bb genotype (red eyes).
Answer:
Genetic variation
Explanation:
Drift and natural selection are natural phenomena that occur when there exists genetic variation. In the first case (drift), the consequence will be the decrease in the genetic diversity, while natural selection will change the allele frequencies in order to favor adaptive genetic differentiation
Decent from a common ancestor; natural selection.
Answer:
Hydrolysis reactions use water to breakdown polymers into monomers and is the opposite of dehydration synthesis, which forms water when synthesizing a polymer from monomers. Hydrolysis reactions break bonds and release energy.
