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).

maks197457 [2]

Answer:

d. all of the offspring have medium length fur.

Explanation:

Incomplete dominance is a phenomenon in which offspring produce a trait that is intermediate between the two forms of a certain trait.

For example: In four o clock plant, some plants produce red flowers while some plants produce white flowers. When plants with red flowers are crossed with plants with white flowers, all the offspring have pink flowers.

Why is that so?

This is because no allele is completely dominant over the other and therefore both contribute their individual effect by producing intermediate phenotype.

Example in question:

Cross between a rabbit with short fur (SS) and a rabbit with long fur (LL)

P1:                                SS        x        LL

Gametes:                     S     and  L

Offspring                        SL :SL

SL: Medium length fur

Therefore this is a case of incomplete dominance.

Hope it help!

Which of the following is NOT part of the peripheral nervous system?
Ksju [112]

The correct answer is: B. spinal cord  

The nervous system can be divided into two subdivisions: the central nervous system (CNS) and the peripheral nervous system (PNS). The spinal cord and the brain are part of the CNS, whereas the PNS consists of the nerves that radiate from the CNS to all parts of the body. The PNS includes all neurons that sense and transmit information to the CNS.

The CNS controls thinking processes, movements, and registers the sensations throughout our body. Moreover, the PNS acts to transmit information from the CNS to all parts of the body.

The PNS is in turn divided into two main parts:

1-The Autonomic nervous system (ANS), which regulates involuntary functions and glands. The parasympathetic nervous system is one division of the ANS that controls visceral organs such as glands.

2- Somatic nervous system (SNS), which regulates voluntary muscle movement and transmits information from eyes, ears, and skin to the CNS.
