Coat color in rabbits is under the control of a single gene with

Mashcka [7]

Answer: a) Cch x Ccch

b) Ccch x Cc

c) Cch x cchch

d) cchc x chc

Explanation:

Data:

Coat color in rabbits is under the control of a single gene with

four alleles: C (full gray color); cch (chinchilla, light gray); ch

(Himalayan, white with black extremities); and c (albino, absence

of pigmentation).

The dominance hierarchy is represented as: C >cch > ch > c.

Possible genotypes:

For full gray color: CC (Gray), Ccch (Gray-2), Cch (Gray-1), Cc (Gray-3). The allele "C" dominates over the other three alleles, so in every combination where "C" is present, the animal will be fully grayed.

For light gray color/Chinchilla: cchcch (Chinchilla), cchch (Chinchilla-1), cchc (Chinchilla-2). The allele "cch" dominates over "ch" and "c", but not over "C". So if the allele "C" is combined with "cch", the animal will be fully grayed, but in any other combination with "cch", the animal will be light grayed.

For white with black extremities/Himalayan: chch (Hymalayan), chc (Hymalayan-1). The allele "ch" that determines the Himalayan color is only dominant over the allele "c". But in combination with any other allele, "ch" behaves as a recessive one.

For albino: cc. In the presence of any of the other alleles, the allele "c" always behaves as a recessive one. The only possibility of getting an albino animal is if "c" combines with another "c".

How does homeostasis maintain a balance in an ecosystem?

Papessa [141]

Answer: It is known as ecological homeostasis to the exchange that takes place between diverse natural means that allow to maintain a balance within an ecosystem. These adjustments are considered necessary to achieve survival. Usually these homeostatic balances can be understood by observing populations or systems that depend on each other.

Which of the following statements about apoptosis is false? a. It is an important process in the development of human fingers an

spin [16.1K]

Answer:

C) Because apoptosis genes kill cells, natural selection is seldom involved in apoptosis pathways.

Explanation:

Apoptosis is a natural process taking in the cell which causes the physiological and biochemical changes in the cell which could cause the death of the cell.

The apoptosis is controlled at the genetic level therefore apoptosis is also known as the programmed cell death.

The studies have shown that the process is involved in the development of the finger and the toes in humans and the sequences controlling the process has been conserved during the evolution in a different organism.

This shows that humans and nematode have the same conserved sequence of apoptosis but the natural selection does not control the apoptosis.

Thus, the selected option is the correct answer.
