A scientist is researching two different traits in an insect: body texture and color. Smooth body (B) is dominant to bumpy body

(b), and gray (G) is dominant to white (g). A BbGg and a bbgg insect mate and produce the following 480 offspring: Phenotype Number of Offspring Smooth, gray 119 Bumpy, white 117 Smooth, white 123 Bumpy, gray 121 What type of inheritance is displayed from these offspring

Answer:

Independent assortment

Explanation:

The type of inheritance displayed by the offspring is a simple <u>independent assortment inheritance according to Mendelian law.</u>

The result of crossing BbGg and bbgg is as follows (see the attached image)

<em>4 BbGg smooth and gray</em>

<em>4 Bbgg  smooth and white</em>

<em>4 bbGg bumpy and gray</em>

<em>4 bbgg bumpy and white</em>

The phenotype ratio from the cross is 1:1:1:1 as far as the independent assortment is concerned.

Now, looking at the population of each phenotype from the cross

Smooth, gray 119

Smooth, white 123

Bumpy, gray 121

Bumpy, white 117

119:123:121:117 is approximately equal to 1:1:1:1.

Hence, the cross agrees with Mendel's law of independent assortment of genes.

Acetic acid, commonly known as vinegar, is sour. Which functional group is present in acetic acid? A. amino group B. phosphate g
Mrac [35]

Answer:

          The correct option is C.

Explanation

Option A

              Amines are the organic compounds which contain amino functional groups (-NH2), i.e 1-Propamine (CH3-CH2-CH2-NH2). so this is incorrect option.


Option B

                 Phosphate group is present in group of organic compounds known as organic phosphates. they are involved in energy transfer reaction. the best example is ATP. This option is also incorrect.

Option C

               option C is correct because Acetic acid belongs to a group of organic compounds known as carboxylic acids. Carboxylic acid is characterized by the presence of carboxyl functional group  (-COOH).

Conclusion

                    it is concluded that acetic acid contains carboxyl group.

What was one of the most important steps in the evolution of early<br> living things?
Aneli [31]

Answer: the development of the enzyme Rubisco and evolution of oxygenic photosynthesis.

Explanation: One can pick many key steps in early evolution: the development of the first cells, oxygenic photosynthesis, endosymbiosis leading to eukaryote organisms.

One important step was the mutation to the enzyme ribulose bisphospate carboxylase oxygenase (Rubisco) which enabled oxygenic photosynthesis.

The cyanobacteria that had Rubisco changed the planet’s atmosphere by producing oxygen as a by-product of photosynthesis. They were the most successful organisms of the time and have continued as a successful and ubiquitous group of organisms for billions of years.

The production of oxygen changed the direction of evolution profoundly. Later endosymbiosis led to the evolution of plants, with cyanobacteria the ancestors of chloroplasts, making Rubisco one of the most common enzymes on the planet.
