Answer:

The correct answer is - 2 genes.

Explanation:

The number of genes involved in the coloration of the strain of cereal grain, could be either dark tan, medium-dark tan, medium tan, light tan, or cream-colored if all F1 are medium tan when crossed a dark tan crossed with cream-colored, can be calculated as follow:

suppose there are only two gene - TT dominant over tt and CC dominant over cc

then the cross would be - RRCC - rrcc

gametes - RC and rc

Cross F1: RrCc

Self cross in F2:

offspring by Punnet cross are:

RRCC  -->1/16  

RRCc,  RrCC .---> 4/16

RrCc, RRcc, rrCC--->6/16

rrCc, Rrcc--->4/16

rrcc ----> 1/16

thus, the correct answer is 2 genes

Kryger [21]

Answer:

involuntary; voluntary

Explanation:

Involuntary behaviors in organisms are unlearned behaviors exhibited as a reflex response to a stimuli around their environment. They are usually unconscious behaviors. On the other hand, voluntary behaviors are deliberate behaviors exhibited by an organism consciously. They are actually under the control of the organism, and can be learned.

If Inez blinks her eyes because a gnat flies close to them, that's involuntary. But if she then swats at the gnat, that's voluntary.
