Answer:

Due to absorption of more water.

Explanation:

A Cotton shirt takes more time to dry as compared to a synthetic shirt due to absorption of more water by the cotton fiber as compare to other fiber. Cotton absorbs much more water than other synthetic fibers, and attached to the molecules of cotton for longer period of time which means cotton fibers take more time to dry as compared to synthetic fiber which absorb little amount of water and loosely attached to the molecules of fiber.

fgiga [73]

<span>The correct format for an MLA in-text citation for an article with no known author is A. ("Title" page). The "Title" is the shortened title of the work. It is in lieu of the author's name. The quotation mark that encloses the title is used when the work is a short work like an article. If the work is a long one like books, plays, etc. The title is italicized instead of enclosed in quotation marks.</span>

In guinea pigs the allele for black fur (B) is dominant over the allele for brown fur (b), and the allele for short fur (F) is d

galben [10]

Answer:

100%

Explanation:

This question involves two genes in guinea pigs; one coding for fur color and the other for fur length. The alleles of black fur (B) and short fur (F) is dominant over the alleles for brown fur (b) and long fur (f).

In a cross between two offsprings with genotypes: BBFF x bbff, the following gametes will be produced by each parent:

BBFF - BF, BF, BF, and BF

bbff - bf, bf, bf, bf

Using these gametes in a punnet square (see attached image), one will notice that all of the offsprings will have the genotype: BbFf i.e all or 100% of the offsprings are heterozygous for both of the genes or traits.
