Answer:

The correct answer is option A. <em>birds can fly.</em>

Explanation:

One characteristic that distinguish birds from all other animals is that birds have feathers. Birds are the only animals that have feathers, actually it is said that if an animal have feathers it must be a bird. Feathers serve many purposes for birds: they allow birds to <em>fly</em>, serve as insulators for their eggs and their young's, and also give them protectrom from water and cold temperatures.

Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

  1. E/e ; T/t  ⇒ Square eyes and long tail (Option D)
  2. 3/16 will have round eyes and long tails (Option C)
  3. 1/4 of the progeny will be heterozygous for both traits (Option A)

Explanation:

<u>Available data</u>:

  • Two diallelic unlinked genes
  • Gene E controls eye shape: Dominant allele E expresses square eyes, and recessive allele e expresses round eyes.
  • Gene T controls the tail size. Dominant allele T expresses long trail, and recessive allele t expresses short tail.

<u>Genotypes                                          Phenotypes</u>

EETT, EeTT, EETt, EeTt                     Square eyes and Long tail

eeTT, eeTt                                          Round eyes and Long tail

EEtt, Eett                                             Square eyes and Short tail

eett                                                      Rounf eyes and short tail.

<em>1. An individual of this new species is heterozygous for gene E and heterozygous for gene T. What is their genotype and phenotype?</em>

The heterozygous individual is E/e ; T/t, expressing square eyes and a long tail.

<em>2. Two individuals, who are both heterozygous for eye shape and tail size, mate. Which of the following is a correct statement about the phenotype ratios expected for their offspring?</em>

Cross: between two heterozygous individuals

Parentals) EeTt    x     EeTt

Gametes) ET, Et, eT, et

                ET, Et, eT, et

Punnett square)  .   ET        Et        eT       et

                  ET     EETT    EETt    EeTT    EeTt

                  Et      EETt     EEtt     EeTt      Eett

                  eT    EeTT    EeTt    eeTT     eeTt

                   et     EeTt      Eett     eeTt      eett

F1) Genotype:

  • 1/16 EETT
  • 2/16 EETt
  • 1/16 EEtt
  • 2/16 EeTT
  • 4/16 EeTt ⇒ 1/4 EeTt
  • 2/16 Eett
  • 1/16 eeTT
  • 2/16 eeTt
  • 1/16 eett

      Phenotype

  • 9/16 E-T-, Square eyes and Long tails
  • 3/16 E-tt, Square eyes and short tails
  • 3/16 eeT-, Round eyes and Long tails
  • 1/16 eett, round eyes and short tail

Phenotypic ratio 9:3:3:1

<em>3. From the mating described in question ABOVE, what proportion of ALL of the offspring in will be heterozygous for both traits?</em>

4/16 = 1/4 = 25% of the progeny are expected to be heterozygous for both traits, EeTt.

Just by looking at the color of a freshly drawn blood sample, how could you distinguish between blood that is well oxygenated an
Wittaler [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

There are two types of blood that flows through our bodies: oxygenated and deoxygenated. Oxygenated blood is the one that is pumped in the left side of the atrium in the heart. As its name tells us, is the one that is highly with oxygen and low in carbon dioxide. Normally a sample of an oxygenated blood will be very bright in red due to the amount of blood cells in it. Deoxygenated blood is the one that is pumped in the right side of the atrium in the heart. This blood is the one that is low in oxygen and high in carbon dioxide. It is also known as the venous blood. Normally a sample of a deoxygenated blood will be darker almost going on blue.
