Heterozygous Cp cp chickens express a condition called creeper, in which the leg and wing bones are shorter than normal (cp cp).

The dominant Cp allele is lethal when homozygous. Two alleles of an independently segregating gene determine white (W-) versus yellow (ww) skin color. From matings between chickens heterozygous for both of these genes, what phenotypic classes will be represented among the viable progeny and what are their expected relative frequencies

Answer:

Dihybrid cross:  Cp cp W w  x  Cp cp W w

Gametes= CpW; Cpw; cpW; cpw

Cp Cp: lethal phenotype  

Genotypes:

Cp cp W w >> creeper and white phenotype

Cp cp w w  >> creeper and yellow phenotype  

Cp cp W W >> creeper and white phenotype

cp cp W W >> normal (non-creeper) and white phenotype

cp cp W w >> normal (non-creeper) and white phenotype

cp cp w w >> normal (non-creeper) and yellow phenotype

Since it is a dihybrid cross that involves a lethal allele in homozygous condition (Cp), it is expected a phenotype ratio of 6:3:2:1, it is 6 (Cpcp W_ creeper white) : 3 (cpcp W_ normal white ) : 2 (Cpcp W_ creeper yellow) : 1 (cpcp ww normal yellow). This ratio is expected because it is a distortion from normal segregation proportions (i.e., instead of the 9:3:3:1 phenotypic ratio associated with dihybrid crosses).

What is the similarity between excretory systems of insects, earthworms and vertebrates?
4vir4ik [10]

Los seres invertebrados y los vertebrados tienen más elementos en común de lo que se pensaba. Un estudio, con participación del Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC), prueba que existe gran similitud entre los sistemas excretores de ambos grupos de animales. Según la investigación, las células encargadas de filtrar la sangre en la formación de orina, alojadas en los riñones de vertebrados, son similares a las que realizan una función análoga en invertebrados.

List and explain the 4 different types of variables and explain them.
vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

independent, dependent, control

Explanation:

The independent variable is the variable that you change. For example, if we were growing plants and wanted to see if more sun made them grow higher, you would change the amount of sun that each plant is exposed to.

The dependent variable is what you measure. This <em>depends</em> on the independent variable. So, in our plant experiment, the height of the plant is the dependent variable.

Control. The control is what stays the same. So in our plant experiment, the amount of water, type of plant, type of soil, and all of these things would stay the same to insure that the results are equal.

During a drought on the galapagos islands, finches with larger beaks were able to crack the large tough seeds produced by plants
TEA [102]

It is an example of directional selection.

The different kinds of natural selection can influence the distribution of phenotypes within a population. In stabilizing selection, an average phenotype is preferred.

In directional selection, a modification in the surrounding changes the spectrum of the observed phenotypes, and in diversifying selection the extreme values for a trait are preferred over the transitional values. This kind of selection usually pushes speciation.

The directional selection, in the field of population genetics, refers to a mode of natural selection in which an extreme phenotype is preferred over other phenotypes, making the allele frequency to change with time in the orientation of that phenotype.

What two muscles on your muscle list aid in mastication?
Ludmilka [50]
Unfortunately this question is incomplete as no options are provided. IN actual fact,<span> four muscles are involved in mastication. Three of these are responsible for biting down, namely the masseter, the temporalis and the medial pterygoid, whereas one, the lateral pterygoid, is responsible for opening of the jaw</span><span>. All four muscles help to move the jaw laterally.</span>
