In a hypothetical mouse species, brown fur (b) is completely dominant to white fur (b), and long fur (l) is completely dominant

to short fur (l). if two mice heterozygous for both traits mate and produce a litter of pups, what is the probability that an individual pup will have white, short fur?

<span>a pup will have white short fur, with the odds of 1 in 16 or 6.25% For this problem, I will use the following notation. c = Recessive for white fur. C = Dominant for brown fur. l = Recessive for short fur. L = Dominant for brown fur. Both parent mice have the genes cClL, so their respective eggs and sperm can be one of 4 different set of genes. They are cl, cL, Cl, CL. For a pup to have white, short fur, it has to have the genes ccll. Any other combination will result in either brown fur, or long fur, or both. That in turn means that both the egg and sperm that went into making the pup have to have the genes cl. No other combination will do. Since the change of getting a cell with only cl is one of the four possible choices, there's a 1 in 4 chance of the proper type of egg or sperm cell to be used. And since you have both a mother and a father, you have a 1/4 chance for both. So you multiply them together. So the probability of a pup having white short fur is 1/4 * 1/4 = 1/16 = 0.0625 = 6.25% = 1 in 16.</span>

Which word means "the history of life in the geological past as indicated by the imprints or remains of living things"?
Lunna [17]

Fossil

Explanation:

Fossils are the imprints or remains of living things that tells us the history of life in the geological past.

Fossils can also be defined as the preserved remains of dead organisms that once lived in geologic time past.

  • Fossils can be body fossils which preserves part of the body of an organism usually the hard part.
  • They can be trace fossils which are the preserved prints of organisms.
  • They are usually used to trace the evolutionary history of an organism.
  • The tell us about the climatic and environmental conditions of organisms that once lived.
