Answer:
a. S represents allele for short hair while s represents allele for long hair.
b. Ss (male) × ss (female)
c. 50% Ss, 50% ss
d. 3 long hair (ss), 3 short hair (Ss)
Explanation:
This question involves a single gene coding for hair length in guinea pigs. The allele for short hair (S) is dominant over the allele for long hair (s).
a. Letter "S" will represent the allele for short hair while letter "s" will represent the allele for long hair.
b. According to this question, a heterozygous male is crossed with a long-haired female. The genotype of the male guinea pig is "Ss" while that of the female is "ss". (see attachment for the punnet square)
c. The possible genotypes of the offsprings in this cross are: Ss and ss, each carrying 50% each as they are produced in a ½ Ss: ½ ss.
d. Since 50% of the offsprings will be both short haired and long haired, If they have six babies, 3 of them will be short-haired while 3 of them will also be long-haired.
The melting of the ice caps makes Earth warmer because less solar energy is reflected due to loss of Albedo
Answer:
The rate of photosynthesis was more than the rate of respiration
Explanation:
Photosynthesis has to do with the synthesis of sugar molecules from inorganic products such as water and carbon dioxide. Respiration on the other hand has to do with breaking down of the sugar molecule from photosynthesis to release the energy locked up in the sugar for various metabolic processes in the plant's body.
<em>If both processes are balanced, there will be no net sugar production. Hence, if an excess of sugar produced fossil fuels, it thus means that there was net production of sugar in the past. The rate of photosynthesis was more than the rate of respiration in the past.</em>
Um.. what item? and you just posted the answer?
Answer:
Two patterns of complex inheritance are a color-blind male and flowers and when there is a color-blind male and a normal female.
Explanation: One of the Mendelian laws states that there is a dominant and a recessive gene. If these are together and form heterozygote only the dominant allele will be shown.
