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.
I think its the first one
Answer:
a, b, d, and f.
Explanation:
<em>The periwinkle snails feed on plants. Consequently, they are said to herbivorous and heterotrophic since they cannot manufacture their own foods. They are also referred to as primary consumers because they directly feed on plants without any other nutritional option. They, therefore, occupy the second trophic level on a typical food web. </em>
The correct options are a, b, d, and f.
For an organism to function properly all the physiological factors should be favorable. These physiological factors include water level, pH, temperature etc. To perform the basic function of the life, it is important to maintain the physiological parameter in a particular range.
In case, these physiological parameters are not balanced, then the body of the organism does not perform well and causes illness.
So, the first blank can be filled with temperature and the second blank can be filled with range.
A genetic mutation. It's known as malformation. It can be caused by a trisomy in one of the alleles, or an affected gene.
