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.

How long and how frequently should cold be applied to the injured area during the first 24 to 48 hours?
katrin [286]
Ice should be applied within the first 5-10 minutes after getting the injury and leave the ice for 20-30 minutes. This can be repeated every 2-3 hours or so for the next 24-48 hours.
If you consider the first 48 hours, and this timings, the frequency should be between 16 to 24 times. If you consider 24 hours, it should be between 8 and 12 times.

In the onion root tip cells, which of the following would be evidence of cytokinesis?
koban [17]

The study of onion root tips is widely known for the clear appearance of the stages of mitosis since the chromosomes are large and are clearly visible. They are easily stained with the stainer and are visible clearly under the electron microscope. The phase of mitosis are

Interphase

Prophase

Metaphase

Anaphase

Telophase and

Cytokinesis

Each of these phases show the different stages in which the division of one cell into two daughter cells takes place. The cytokinesis is the final phase in the mitosis cell division. This is the part of cell division process during which the cytoplasm of the cell divides into two equal parts and forms into two daughter cells.

During the cytokinesis process, the spindle apparatus partitions and transports the duplicated chromatids and moves into the cytoplasm of the dividing daughter cells. In this process a dividing structure called the cell plate is formed to distinguish the daughter cells. This cell plate later grows into a double layered cell wall which then splits the parent cell into two separate cells.

Hence the option D is the right answer

A mite is a tiny organism that may "ride" on top of an insect such as a beetle in order to move quickly from place to place.
Whitepunk [10]

Answer: the beetle is neither harmed nor helped by the mite.

Explanation:In this case, the mite benefits because it gains transportation from the beetle. If the beetle is neither harmed nor helped by the mite, then the relationship between the mite and the beetle would be an example of commercialism.

If a solution is considered to be basic, which of the following is true about the hydroxide ion concentration?
Anna [14]

The correct answer is option C, the concentration of the hydroxide ion is greater than the concentration of the hydronium ion

Reason -

An acidic solution has an ability to contribute hydrogen ion. Here a hydronium ion (H3O+) has an extra H+ ion along with a water molecule. Thus presence of hydronium ion in larger amount than the hydroxide ion would make the solution acidic. Thus, the concentration of hydroxide ion should be less than the hydronium ion to make the solution a basic solution.
