Biology

Answer:

Crossing two chickens heterozygous for the trait feather color, when brown feathers are dominant over red feathers, will produce offspring with brown and red feathers in a brown:red phenotypic ratio of 3:1.

Explanation:

Knowing that in chickens brown feathers are the expression of the dominant allele (B) and the recessive allele is red (b), crossing two heterozygous individuals (Bb) will result in offspring that are likely to have brown or red feathers.

The cross can be represented by a Punnett Square:

<u>Bb X Bb cross </u>

alleles     B    b

B             BB Bb  

b             Bb bb

Where the result is:

<u>Genotypes</u>:  

  • Bb, 50%
  • BB, 25%
  • bb, 25%

<u>Phenotypes</u>:

  • Brown feathers, 75%
  • Red feathers, 25%.

In this case, the probability of having brown or red feathers is 3:1.

What is the difference between a positive sanction and a negative sanction? Which is more common?
timofeeve [1]

A kind of behavior by a person's action is called positive sanction and punishments in an action considered as negative sanction.

<u>Explanation: </u>

The difference between positive sanction and negative sanction is as follows.

Positive sanction:

  • An action that results in a 'particular kind of behavior' is known to be a positive sanction.

Negative sanction:

  • An action of punishment or threat of 'punishment is used as a means to enforce conformity' is known to be a negative sanction.

The common point:

  • Neither positive nor negative sanction works if people by themselves are not sure whether they should be rewarded or punished for a particular behavior. So, there is no common line between Negative and Positive sanction.
