Answer:

The dominant (light green) parent was heterozygote for the trait

Explanation:

According to Gregor Mendel in his law of dominance, an allele is said to be DOMINANT if it masks the phenotypic expression of another allele in a gene. The allele being masked is called RECESSIVE allele. In this case of a frog whose allele for light green color is dominant over the allele for brown color, the light green color allele (G) is dominant while the brown color allele (g) is recessive.

However, in a cross between that have light green frog and a brown frog, a small brown frog is produced. This is possible despite the green color being dominant because the genotype of the light green dominant parent is HETEROZYGOUS i.e. it contains both light green (dominant) allele and brown (recessive) allele.

Hence, when a gamete with recessive allele (g) is produced by the heterozygous light green frog (Gg), it mates with a recessive allele from the brown frog (gg) to produce a brown offspring (gg).

Out of the following given choices;

a. Drink additional water to prevent dehydration.

b. Eat something with 15 g of simple carbohydrates.

c. Go to the first aid station to have glucose checked.

d. Take another dose of the oral agent.


The answer is B. The stated symptoms are symptoms of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). The exercises drained glucose from her blood as the muscles used up the glucose in respiration. Since diabetics have flawed insulin protein that is incapable of enabling cells take up glucose and hepatocytes to make glucose, the blood sugar levels drop to critical levels that threaten body functions.
