Answer:

Genotypic ratio = 1:2:1

Phenotypic ratio = 3 tongue rollers : 1 non-tongue roller

Explanation:

This question involves a gene coding for the ability to roll the tongue or not in humans. The allele for tongue rolling (R) is dominant over the allele for non-tongue rolling (r).

According to this question, two individuals that are heterozygous for tongue rolling mate i.e. Rr × Rr. The proportion of offsprings that will be likely produced from this cross will be: RR, Rr, Rr, and rr.

- Offsprings with RR, Rr, Rr are tongue rollers

- Offsprings with 'rr' are non-tongue rollers.

Hence, the predicted genotypic and phenotypic ratio are as follows:

Genotypic ratio = 1 RR :2Rr :1rr

Phenotypic ratio = 3 tongue rollers : 1 non-tongue roller

Which type of organic molecule is wax?
Elena L [17]
<span>Wax is a simple form of lipid molecule. It consists of a long-chain of alcohol and a fatty acid. Many of the natural occurring wax found in nature are used as ingredients for products found in stores like ointments, hand cream, and cosmetics.

Plants have naturally occurring wax on their leaves and stems; these serve as coatings to prevent them from losing excess water. Other forms of wax found in nature are beeswax, used by bees to make their cones for honey and eggs; sperm whales have spermaceti wax found in their blubber; and carnuba wax, is an ingredient commonly used for car waxes, commonly found in Brazilian palm trees. </span>
