Why do you think it is so difficult for some people to accept the idea of continental drift?

Biology

valina [46]3 years ago

People tend not to believe/accept things they can't see proof of with their own eyes or things that lack scientific evidence.

Continental drift is something that spans hundreds of thousands of years. People don't live that long to be able to see the position of the continents and land changing over time. Also when Wegener proposed this theory, he couldn't explain how continental drift occurred, so lacking scientific evidence, many people did not believe him.<span />

4. Suppose that a dominant allele (P) codes for a polka-dot tail and a recessive allele (p) codes for a solid colored tail. If t
lisov135 [29]

Answer:

The correct answer would be:

  • Genotype ratio: 1 (PP) : 2 (Pp) : 1 (pp)
  • Phenotypic ratio: 3 (polka-dot tails) : solid colored tail

The genotype of both parents is Pp (heterozygous).

Thus, both the parent would produce two types of gametes which are P and p.

The cross would result in the production of offspring with three types of genotype PP, Pp, and pp in 1:2:1.

Offspring with PP and Pp will have a polka-dotted tail as it is the dominant trait.

Thus, the phenotype ratio would be 3 (polka-dotted tail) : 1 (solid colored tail).
