Answer:

4/16 (i.e. 25%)

Explanation:

A dihybrid cross is a cross between two organisms/lines/genes that are hybrids (i.e., heterozygous) for two different traits. In a standard dihybrid cross, there is a relation of complete dominance for both <em>loci</em>, i.e., there are two alleles that are completely dominant and thus mask the effects of the corresponding recessive traits. In a dihybrid cross involving two different genes that assort independently into gametes during meiosis, with dominant alleles "A" and "B" and recessive alleles "a" and "b", respectively, the expected phenotypic ratio will be 9:3:3:1 (ie. 9/16 A_B_, 3/16 A_bb, 3/16 aaB_  and 1/16 aabb), while the expected genotypic ratio of double heterozygous "AaBb" individuals will be 4/16, i.e. 25%.

Representation:

P generation   >> AaBb (father) X AaBb (mother)

Gametes (for both parents) >> 1/4 AB; 1/4 Ab; 1/4 aB; 1/4 ab

F1 generation >> 1/16 AABB; 2/16 AABb; 2/16 AaBB; 4/16 AaBb; 1/16 AAbb; 2/16 Aabb; 1/16 aaBB; 2/16 aaBb; 1/16 aabb

Which of these sentences describe sources and preservation of genetic variation? Select all that apply.
madam [21]

The correct sentences are the following:

 A) Antibiotic resistance in bacterial populations is caused by natural selection of bacteria that inherit mutations that make them resistant to the antibiotics.

 C) Crossing-over causes a shuffling of allele combinations during meiosis as the alleles from each parent form new combinations on homologous chromosomes.

 E) When two bacteria are linked during conjugation, the donor cell passes DNA to the recipient cell which causes genetic recombination.

Explanation:

These three options are associated with the generation and preservation of genetic diversity

Why do children have smaller energy reserves and lower absolute anaerobic power output than adults do?
Neko [114]

As compared with adults, children have smaller energy reserves and lower absolute anaerobic power output. This is primarily because they have less muscle mass compared with adults. In anaerobic conditions, the human body uses up glucose and phosphates stored in your muscles for energy metabolism.
