Answer:

Considering the <u>whole progeny</u> (100%), there will be

  • 25% Black male kittens, XBY
  • 0% Calico Male kittens
  • 25% Calico female kittens, XBXR

Explanation:

<u>Available data:</u>

  • The gene for Calico (multicolored) cats is an x-linked trait and codominant
  • Calico Females receive a "B" and an "R" gene, and have black and orange splotches on white coats. Their genotype is XBXR.
  • Males can only be black or orange, but never calico. Their genotype is XBY and XRY

Cross: a female calico cat with a black male

Parentals)   XBXR    x    XBY

Gametes)  XB  XR       XB   Y

Punnett square)    XB        XR

                   XB   XBXB   XBXR

                    Y      XBY      XRY  

F1) Among the whole progeny:

  •     2/4 = 50%  will be black (female XBXB and male XBY)
  •     1/4  = 25% will be Calico (female XBXR)
  •     1/4  = 25% will be Orange (male XRY)  

   Among females:

  •    1/2 = 50% of females will be black, XBXB
  •    1/2 = 50% of females will be Calico, XBXR

   Among males:

  •    1/2 = 50% of males will be black, XBY
  •    1/2 = 50% of males will be orange, XRY

Drag each resource to its mining type. Answers may be used more than once. (2 points)
LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

Aluminium  - Open Pit (or Open Cut Mining)

Tin  - Placer Mining

Copper - Underground Mining

Explanation:

Open Pit Mining: Another name for open pit mining is <em>open-cast</em> or <em>open cut </em>mining. In simple terms, this involves removing topsoil or earth in order to expose and access the minerals beneath them. This type of mining is usually applied when the mineral deposit is close to the earths surface.

A typical feature of open-pit mines is that they leave very wide open pits though the actions of excavators.

Besides Aluminium, other types of minerals which can be mined using this method are: Bitumen, Clay, Coquina etc

Placer Mining

Placer deposits (that is minerals that have been concentrated on a location by weathering are usually accessed by the use of water. This method is mostly connected with the retrieval of minerals within water bodies. Water is used to dig up, and collect heavy minerals from such deposits.

Underground Minning

The entrance into underground mines can be horizontal or vertical.

An underground mine is simply a mine that is beneath the surface of the earth.

which of these is not a function of some membrane proteins ? a.allowing polar molecules to enter the cell b.recognizing other ty
Anastasy [175]

The correct answer is: D.carrying messages to other cells

• Allowing polar molecules to enter the cell - Membrane proteins can be involved in transport. This kind of proteins are called channel proteins and usually are integral, transmembrane proteins of the membrane (span across the bilayer). Channel proteins are responsible for facilitated diffusion and active transport of the molecules.

• Recognizing other types of cells- Membrane proteins may function as markers for cellular identification (recognition) and may connect and join two cells together  

• Receiving messages – Membrane proteins are often receptors for peptide hormones and thus involved in signal transduction.
