Biomagnification is the process by which toxic chemicals build up within predators. This typically occurs across an entire food chain and affects all of the organisms but animals higher up in the chain are more impacted. ... Therefore, when the food chain progresses, concentrations increase or magnify.

Analyze the results of a cross between two organisms that are both heterozygous for two different genes (AaBb). Use a Punnett sq

Xelga [282]

1) all the possible genotypes are also identified by color in the image below :AABBAAbB or AABbaABB or AaBBaAbB or aABb or AabB or AaBbAAbb
aAbb or AabbaaBB
aabB or aaBbaabbThere are 9 different genotypes in total. These can be achived by mixing the alleles of both genes of each parent (just like it's represented in the square).

2) there are 4 phenotypes
-one with an allele A and allele B that would dominate the other. (AABB, aAbB, for example)
- one with all alleles recessive- aabb
-one with the recessive alleles in the gene A but heterozygotic/homozigotic dominant for gene B ( for example: aaBB)
-one with the recessive alleles in the gene B but heterozygotic/homozigotic dominant for gene A ( for example: Aabb)

3) probability of having offspring with the aabb genotype: 1/16
Just by looking at the punnet square, you can see that only one has the aabb genotype, in all the 16 possibilities.

How does the skeletal system of an embryo differ from that of an adult?

fredd [130]

Almost the entire system of an embryo is made of cartilage, whereas that of an adult is mostly made of bones.

An embryo is a multicellular diploid eukaryote in an early stage of embryogenesis, or development. In general, in organisms that reproduce sexually, an embryo develops from a zygote, the single cell resulting from the fertilization of the female egg cell by the male sperm cell.

Biologically, an adult is a human being or other organism that has reached sexual maturity.

The correct answer between all the choices given is the first choice or letter A. I am hoping that this answer has satisfied your query and it will be able to help you in your endeavor, and if you would like, feel free to ask another question.
