Normal pigmentation dominates no pigmentation (albino). For an organism to exhibit color, it must have an allele for normal pigm

ent production as well as alleles for a specific color. In cattle, red color dominates black color. An albino bull that has a heterozygous genotype for red is crossed with a red cow. The cow is heterozygous for normal pigment production and for red coloring. What types of offspring will they produce, and what is the probability of producing these types of offspring

Answer and Explanation:

<u>Available data:</u>

  • Normal pigmentation dominates no pigmentation (albino)
  • Red color dominates the black color
  • For an organism to exhibit color, it must have an allele for normal pigment production as well as alleles for a specific color

Let us say that the P allele expresses color, while the p allele expresses albinism.

Let us also say that the R allele expresses red color, while the r allele expresses black color.

Cross: An albino, heterozygote for red bull is crossed with a heterozygous red cow

During meiosis I, ____________ chromosomes line up side by side and may shuffle genetic material between themselves.
lozanna [386]

During meiosis I, homologous chromosomes line up side by side and may shuffle genetic material between themselves.

<h3>What is Meiosis?</h3>
  • In sexually reproducing organisms, meiosis is a unique type of cell division of germ cells that results in the production of gametes, such as sperm or egg cells.
  • Two rounds of division are necessary, and the end product is four cells with just one copy of each chromosome.
  • Prophase I, Metaphase I, Anaphase I, and Telophase I are the four phases that make up Meiosis I.
  • It deactivates the sporophytic information while activating the genetic information for the production of sex cells.
  • By halving the same, it keeps the chromosomal count constant.
<h3>What is chromosome?</h3>
  • A chromosome is a lengthy DNA molecule that contains all or a portion of an organism's genetic code.
  • Histones, which serve as packing proteins for the majority of eukaryotic chromosomes, work with chaperone proteins to attach to and condense the DNA molecule in order to preserve the integrity of the molecule.

How does respiration and circulatory work together to provide your cells with the reactants they need for cellular respiration?
Assoli18 [71]

The respiratory system works with the digestive and circulatory systems to make cellular respiration possible. During cellular respiration, your cells use oxygen and glucose to release energy. Carbon dioxide is a waste product of the process. Carbon dioxide must be removed from cells.

What are the 2 main parts of the cell cycle and what is happening to the cell in each stage?
olasank [31]
There are two main stages in the cell cycle. The first stage is interphase during which the cell grows and replicates its DNA. The second phase is the mitotic phase (M-Phase) during which the cell divides and transfers one copy of its DNA to two identical daughter cells.

Scientists studied reproduction in the New Zealand mud snail. They wanted to determine whether reproducing sexually or asexually
lubasha [3.4K]

A hypothesis is a claim that expresses a relationship between variables. D) Asexual reproduction is advantageous over sexual reproduction because it decreases the snails’ need for social interaction.

<h3>What is a hypothesis?</h3>

A hypothesis is a scientific conjecture, not verified, that requires corroboration. It is a possibility, but not a fact. It is a claim of how it works a relationship between two or more variables.

The researcher hypothesizes in order to predict what is going on or what is expected to occur.

A hypothesis must express what is expected to occur in a perfectly comprehensive manner. There must be a logical relationship between the involved variables. It must be objective. Usually, it is written in the present time.

There are different kinds of hypotheses: descriptive, correlative, differentiative, or causative.  

In the exposed example, researchers wanted to determine whether reproducing sexually or asexually was more beneficial for the snails.

Options,

A) <em>Sexual reproduction is advantageous over asexual reproduction because it reduces the rate of mutation accumulation. </em>

The benefit of reproducing sexually is that the risk of mutation is lower.

B) <em>Asexual reproduction is advantageous over sexual reproduction because it allows the snails to produce more offspring.</em>

<em />

The benefit of reproducing asexually is that a higher number of descendants are produced, which increases reproductive success.

C) Sexual reproduction is advantageous over asexual reproduction because it allows for snails to have increased genetic variation.

The benefit of reproducing sexually is that it increases genetic variation.

D) Asexual reproduction is advantageous over sexual reproduction because it decreases the snails’ need for social interaction.

The benefit of reproducing asexually is that there is no need for social interaction.

Social interaction does not really benefit snails as a species. This is not a variable that might influence in a significant way snails.

However, variables like the mutation rate, variability, and the number of descendants are useful to test how they benefit or not the snails.  

The hypotheses that would least likely aid the scientists to answer the question is <u>option D</u>.
