Color in poison dart frogs is controlled by a single gene with multiple alleles. A blue poison dart frog that is heterozygous fo

r the blue allele (Cb) and red allele (Cr) is crossed to a yellow poison dart frog that is heterozygous for the orange (Co) and yellow (Cy) alleles. Their progeny are 1/2 blue, 1/4 orange, and 1/4 yellow. Determine the order of dominance for the alleles. (Order of dominance is indicated as: A > B > C > D such that A is dominant over all alleles, B is dominant over C and D, C is dominant only to D, and D is recessive to all alleles.)

Answer:

Cb>Cy>Co>Cr

Explanation:

First of al we need to do the Punnett square. As a result we get the genotypes:

CyCb

CyCr

CoCb

CoCr

Because there are no red frogs, red is the least dominant as it isn't expressed in any genotype.

Half of the progeny are blue and half of the possible genotypes contain the blue allele meaning that blue is expressed in all genotypes. This means that blue is the most dominant.

The only alleles left are yellow and orange. We can deduce that yellow is more dominant than orange because one of the parent frogs is yellow and contains the genes for yellow and orange.

As a result blue is the most dominant, yellow is the second most dominant, orange is the third most dominant and red is the least dominant.

Me a negative affect of rising ocean teperatures
astra-53 [7]
The ocean absorbs most of the excess heat from greenhouse gas emissions, leading to rising ocean temperatures. Increasing ocean temperatures affect marine species and ecosystems. Rising temperatures cause coral bleaching and the loss of breeding grounds for marine fishes and mammals.

Why would farmers plant alfalfa that has less economic value
arlik [135]

answer:

because it benefits the soil. the long alfalfa stand life also gives the soil a chance to rest from frequent field crop rotations, helps provide nitrogen for subsequent crops, and improves soil tilth. this helps prevent pesticide and sediment movement to natural waterways.

good luck :)

hopefully, this helps

have a great day !!
