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

Which type of molecule will require energy to cross the cell membrane? Question 3 options: A) carbon dioxide B) Na+ C) nonpolar
timofeeve [1]

Answer:

B) Na+

Explanation: Na+ molecule is polar, oxygen and carbon dioxide are nonpolar molecules. The cell membrane is a <em>phospholipid bilayer</em> made up of lipid molecules with polar and nonpolar ends. Since it is a bilayer, two phospholipid layers are arranged, one on the other in such a way that one faces the back of the other. The non polar ends are away from outside and inside of the cell, while  the polar ends faces towards all the molecules inside and outside the cell.

Since polar-polar molecules repel each other, Na+ can't pass through the cell membrane easily. So it uses the proteins attached the cell membrane inside and outside to transport such molecules by using energy in terms of ATP.

In piranha, fish with large teeth represent the dominant trait. Because the dominant trait masks the recessive trait, in a popul
vodomira [7]

Answer:

B. 25%

Explanation:

Assuming the trait for teeth size is represented by the allele A. large teeth size is dominant and will be represented by A while small teeth size will be represented by a.

Assuming that the population of 1,000 [piranhas are all heterozygotes and they crossbreed with one another:

Aa   x   Aa = AA, Aa, Aa and aa

The ration of piranhas with large teeth to that of the small teeth is 3:1 or 75:25.

Hence, about 25% of the next generation of the population is ecpected to have small teeth.

The correct option is B.
