Answer:

so in the punnet square, you hvae the 4 squares inside the big on. on top of the square, you have 2 letters, representing the dominant and the repressed genes. On one side, typically the left, you have another two letters, again genes. to get the gene types to fill in your squares, you take the first letter of the top set and the first letter of the side set. for this example, we are going to use Bb(top) and BB(side). you would take the B from the top, and you would pu it with the B from the side. in the top left square, you should have BB. next, you go and take that same top B and do it with the second letter of the side, B again. this again gives you BB. next, you take the second letter of the top, b, and you join it with B. in the top right square, you would write or type in Bb. Even though the b was on top, it is after the B because in this cause, it is not the dominant gene. when you do the second top and side letters together, you again get Bb.

Explanation:

the main points.

in this example, i used B to be the dominant gene and b to be the repressed/ submissive gene.
you always put the dominant gene letter before the repressed
make sure you fill the squares in properly.
in this one, you should have 3 BB and 1 Bb. this shows that the gene set BB is going to show
when you fill in the squares, the first top letter and the first side letter fill in the top left square.
the first top letter and the second side letter go left bottom.
second top letter and first side letter go in right top.
second top and second side go in right bottom.
always place the dominant gene first in the punnet square.

add me and message me if you need more help. we can also zoom to figure it out.

The Punnett square is a square diagram that is used to predict the genotypes of a particular cross or breeding experiment. It is named after Reginald C. Punnett, who devised the approach. The diagram is used by biologists to determine the probability of an offspring having a particular genotype.

Which statement regarding Bax and Bak, two members of the Bcl-2 family, is true?

vampirchik [111]

Answer:

Option D When activated, Bax and Bak form oligomers in the outer membrane of mitochondria, leading to the release of cytochrome c.

Explanation:

The proapoptotic genes are involved in the process of apoptosis. The antiapoptotic gene prevents apoptosis that is cell death. The proapoptotic genes are bax, bak, bad and bid. The bcl family genes are antiapoptotic genes. The process involved activation of apoptosis inside the cell is called intrinsic pathway of apoptosis.

The activation proapoptotic genes, Bax and Bak form oligomers in the mitochondria outer membrane. These pores in the mitochondrial membrane allows the release of cytochrome-c that further attaches with Apaf-1. This leads to activation of caspase 9 that further activates caspase 3, thus inducing apoptosis.

Which group is more likely to survive significant environmental change, one like black-footed ferrets with almost no variation o

Shkiper50 [21]

Mountain lions with lots of variation because variation is important for species’ survival. If there is an environmental change that negatively affects organisms with a certain trait, variation can insure that the entire species will not be wiped out because some organisms within that species might not have that trait and can survive.

What accounts for genetic biodiversity existing in modern multicellular organisms?

EastWind [94]

DNA mutations that actually originate in the gametes is mainly responsible for genetic biodiversity existing in modern organisms. The term biodiversity actually refers to the variety as well as variability of life that is found on the planet earth. his variety can be seen between species, the ecosystem and within the species.<span />
