In pigs, the allele for a wavy, rough coat (R) is dominant to the allele for a soft, fine coat (r). A rough coat boar and a soft

coat sow mate. They produce several litters, 50% are rough coat and 50% are smooth coat. What were the genotypes of the parents?

Answer:

Genotype of  rough coat boar - Rr

Genotype of soft coat sow mate - rr

Explanation:

Rough coat boar must be heterozygous with one dominant allele (R ) and one recessive allele (r )

Genotype of rough coat boar - Rr

Genotype of soft coat sow mate – rr

Now if these two parents are crossed , the offspring produced are represented in the punnet square below –  

R r

r Rr rr

r Rr rr

Thus, 50 % of the offspring’s have rough coat (Rr) and 50 % of the offspring’s have smooth coat.

1. Do a pun-net square.
R r
r
r
2. The offspring would be Rr, rr, Rr, rr
3. 2 of them are heterozygous(Rr),which means they would be most likely rough coats
4. Two of them are homozygous for short hair (rr) which means they are going to be soft hair.
5. Your answer is
Rr, rr

The most familiar non-vascular plants that contain simple conducting cells are Mosses. Most non vascular are bryophytes and are small in size, they lack vascular tissues and also lack true leaves, seeds, and flowers. Instead of roots, the have hair-like rhizoids that functions to anchor them to the ground and to absorb water and mineral salts from the soil. They are three types, mosses, hornworts and liverworts.

Darina [25.2K]
Heat creates energy... the atoms move faster and faster, which changes the state of matter.
for example:
if a solid is heated, it turns to a liquid
if a liquid is heated, it turns to a gas

hope this helps?

How are variations in adaptation similar? how are they different?
AVprozaik [17]
Common mistakes and misconceptions
Natural selection is a mechanism, or cause, of evolution. Adaptations are physical or behavioral traits that make an organism better suited to its environment. Heritable variation comes from random mutations. Random mutations are the initial cause of new heritable traits.
