A male flying tree squirrel with a medium-length tail has babies with a female with a medium-length tail. Over the years their t

otal offspring number is 52. 13 of these babies have long tails, 27 have medium-length tails and 12 have short tails. a) Propose a method of inheritance for tail length. b) What is the likely genotype of the parents? c) What is the expected phenotypic ratio? d) Given the number of offspring that were had, what is the expected number of offspring for each phenotype?

Answer:

Explanation:

(a) The mode of inheritance for the tail length would be incomplete dominance. In this type of inheritance, one of the alleles representing a gene in heterozygous conditions exert incomplete dominance on the other allele giving rise to a new phenotype.

(b) The likely genotype of the parents are heterozygous. The medium tail length results from the incomplete dominance of the long tail allele on the short tail allele. There is no allele for the medium tail length itself.

(c) Assuming that the allele for long tail length is T and that of short tail length is t, the genotype of the parents would Tt. Crossing the two parents

      Tt     x     Tt

  TT    Tt    Tt    tt

TT - Long tail = 1/4

Tt - medium tail = 1/2

tt - short tail = 1/4

(d) From the expected phenotype ratio

Expected number of offspring with long tail = 1/4 x 52 = 13

Expected number of offspring with medium tail = 1/2 x 52 = 26

Expected number of offspring with short tail = 1/4 x 52 = 13

Warmth, moisture, pH levels and oxygen levels are the four big physical and chemical factors influencing microbial growth. In most buildings, warmth and moisture are the most significant overall issues current

<h3>How the bacterial growth curve relates to what happens to the bacterial population?</h3>

The bacterial growth curve symbolizes the number of live cells in a bacterial population over a period of time. There are four different phases of the growth curve: lag, exponential (log), stationary, and death. The initial phase is the lag phase where bacteria are metabolically functional but not dividing.

<h3>What are 4 states of bacterial growth?</h3>

Bacteria can live in more burning and colder temperatures than humans, but they do best in a warm, moist, protein-rich atmosphere that is pH neutral or slightly acidic. There are exceptions, however. Some bacteria flourish in extreme heat or cold, while others can stay under highly acidic or extremely salty conditions.

Which statement is true A.An organism is part of a community. B.Acommunity is part of population C.An ecosystem is made up of on
NikAS [45]
<h2>(A) is the correct option </h2>

Explanation:

  • An organism is part of a community is correct,where species interaction occurs between different organisms
  • A community is part of population is the incorrect statement because a community includes group of population of two or more different species
  • An ecosystem is made up of only organisms is the incorrect statement because ecosystem is the community of both living and non living components of the environment and how they interact with each other
  • A biome is the biotic part of an ecosystem is incorrect because biome includes the community of both plants and animals occupying a large habitat

IF most of the energy we use on earth comes from the sun –how does that energy (light and thermal) end up
____ [38]

Answer:

1: Chemical Energy

2: Kinetic Energy

3: Electrical Energy

4: Mechanical Energy

Explanation:

1: The energy held in food is called <em>chemical energy. </em>It is a form of <u>potential energy</u> held within chemical bonds between atoms.

2: When flowing water is captured and turned into electricity, it is called hydroelectric power or hydropower. There are several types of hydroelectric facilities; they are all powered by the <em>kinetic energy of flowing water</em> <u>as it moves downstream.</u>

3: The power for lights and stuff is <em>Electrical</em><em> </em><em>Energy</em><em>,</em> ofc :]

4: The <u>chemical energy in the food</u> gets changed into the <em>mechanical energy</em> of <u>moving muscles.</u>

<u>Hope</u><u> </u><u>this</u><u> </u><u>helps</u><u>!</u><u>!</u><u> </u><u>:</u><u>D</u>

A scientist could best determine which ion (F-, Cl-, Br-, or I-) produced the greatest electrical potential in the Experiment by
Serggg [28]

Answer:

a solution of each sodium salt at the same concentration

Explanation:

If a scientist wishes to study the electrical potential that develops between ice  and the sodium salts solution of the ions (F-, Cl-, Br-, or I-) in order to determine which ion produced the greatest electrical potential; he must compare the electrical potential that develops between ice and a solution of each sodium salt at the same concentration.

This means that conclusions can not be reached unless the sodium salt of each ion at the same concentration is compared so as to ensure consistence in the results of the study.
