Answer:

Ss × ss

Explanation:

This question involves a single gene coding for hair length in guinea pigs. The alleles for short hair (S) is dominant over that of long hair (s).

According to this question, a guinea pig with short hair (S_) is crossed to one that has long hair (ss) to produce offsprings that have 44 short hair and 46 long hair. This number of offsprings produced indicate a ratio of 1:1, which can only be produced if the short haired guinea pig is heterozygous i.e. Ss.

Therefore, the genotype of the parents are Ss (short hair) and ss (long hair) i.e. Ss × ss. This combination will produce offsprings with the following proportion: Ss (1) : ss (1).

Sodium and potassium ions move in and out of the axon when the membrane is ______
Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

Answer : Depolarized

Explanation:

Sodium and Potassium ions tend to move inside of the axin when the membrane is depolarized.

A change in polarity occurs in the axon membrane when a nerve impulse travels across it.  At the beginning of an action potential or nerve impulse , the ions of sodium tend to move inside of axon causing depolarization. As a result potassium ions tend to move outside of the axon causing re polarization. Hence, this effect causes the nerve impulse to travel in one direction only inside the axon.

the allele for yellow peas is dominant to the allele for green peas. how would you represent the alleles of a plant that is hete
goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer: The alleles of a plant that is heterozygous for seed color can be represented as Y for dominant allele for yellow seed and y for recessive allele for green seed.

Explanation: A plant that is heterozygous for seed colour has one dominant allele and one recessive allele for seed colour. If Y represents the dominant allele for yellow seed colour and y represents the recessive allele for green seed colour, therefore the plant has a genotype of Yy. A dominant allele is one that has the ability to mask the effect of a recessive allele while a recessive allele is one whose effect is masked by a dominant allele. Dominant alleles are denoted with upper cases while recessive alleles are denoted with lower cases. A plant that is heterozygous for seed colour with genotype Yy will manifest outwardly as Yellow seed colour due to the presence of the dominant allele Y.
