Answer:

100%

Explanation:

This question involves two genes in guinea pigs; one coding for fur color and the other for fur length. The alleles of black fur (B) and short fur (F) is dominant over the alleles for brown fur (b) and long fur (f).

In a cross between two offsprings with genotypes: BBFF x bbff, the following gametes will be produced by each parent:

BBFF - BF, BF, BF, and BF

bbff - bf, bf, bf, bf

Using these gametes in a punnet square (see attached image), one will notice that all of the offsprings will have the genotype: BbFf i.e all or 100% of the offsprings are heterozygous for both of the genes or traits.

1. How does the body adjust to a higher altitude?
Anni [7]

During acclimatization over a few days to weeks, the body produces more red blood cells to counteract the lower oxygen saturation in blood in high altitudes. Full adaptation to high altitude is achieved when the increase of red blood cells reaches a plateau and stops.Heart rate is controlled by the two branches of the autonomic (involuntary) nervous system. The sympathetic nervous system (SNS) and the parasympathetic nervous system (PNS). ... At the beginning of exercise, your body removes the parasympathetic stimulation, which enables the heart rate to gradually increase.

What changes in the food industry created the Western diet and can be linked to chronic diseases such as coronary heart disease,
Ronch [10]

Answer: by given steroid injection to animals

                                  <u>and </u>

                   increasing production of cheap calories of Sugar and Triglycerides  for use in food products

The attempt by farmers to maximize profit prompted them to give hormones e.g streroids to  animals to increase their  biochemical reactions therefore the the products yields e.g they  are  giving  steroids  to poultry  to  improve chicken, eggs production;and  to  cattle for improved beef and milk production.

In order to obtain maximum sugar and fats productions, cheap calories  forms of there  are being  produced. e,g fructose, maltose. if  maltose  is consumed in excess  it leads to  obesity, while fructose increases the level of cholesterol.These products  requires a lot of processing with different chemical products which leads to health problems after consumption
