Complete question:

A geneticist crossed fruit flies to determine the phenotypic ratio. The geneticist crossed a fly with blistery wings and spineless bristles (bbss) with a heterozygous fly that had normal wings and normal bristles (BbSs). Which proportion of offspring that are dominant for both traits in would you not expect based on Mendel's law of independent assortment? 1/2 , 4/16, 25% , or 1/4

Answer:

1/2 is the proportion of the offspring that is NOT expected among individuals that are dominant for both traits.

4/16 = 1/4 = 25% of the progeny and the correct expected proportion of individuals that are dominant for both traits.

Explanation:

<u>Available data</u>:

  • Cross:  a fly with blistery wings and spineless bristles with a heterozygous fly that had normal wings and normal bristles
  • Recessive trait: blistery wings and spineless bristles
  • Dominant trait: normal wings and normal bristles

Let us say that:

  • B is the dominant allele for normal wings
  • b is the recessive allele for blistery wings
  • S is the dominant allele for normal bristles
  • s is the recessive allele for spineless bristles

Parentals)        bbss       x        BbSs

Gametes)  bs, bs, bs, bs     BS, Bs, bS, bs

Punnett square)    BS        Bs         bS        bs

                     bs    BbSs    Bbss     bbSs    bbss

                     bs    BbSs    Bbss     bbSs    bbss

                     bs    BbSs    Bbss     bbSs    bbss

                     bs    BbSs    Bbss     bbSs    bbss

F1)  4/16 = 1/4 = 25%  of the progeny is expected to be BbSs, dyhibrid individuals, expressing normal wings and normal bristles

     4/16 = 1/4 = 25% of the progeny is expected to be Bbss, expressing normal wings and spineless bristles

     4/16 = 1/4 = 25% of the progeny is expected to be bbSs, expressing  blistery wings and normal bristles

     4/16 = 1/4 = 25% of the progeny is expected to be bbss, expressing  blistery wings and spineless bristles

Vagal stimulation during suctioning can contribute to which conditions? select all that apply.
Fynjy0 [20]

Answer;

-Bradycardia

-Heart block

-Asystole

Explanation;

-Tracheal suctioning can cause a vagal response. This stimulus influences the electrical system of the heart, potentially leading to decreased heart rate (bradycardia), heart block, asystole, or other dysrhythmias.

-Bronchospasm would not be induced by this type of stimulus. Vagal stimulation can result in hypotension, not hypertension.

A cell has 36 chromosomes. After it divides by mitosis, how many chromosomes will be in each cell?
butalik [34]

Answer:

36 chromosomes in each cell

Explanation:

Mitosis is an equational division which means that it does not reduce or change the number of chromosomes in the daughter cells. Mitosis in a single parent cell produces two daughter cells each having the same DNA content and the number of chromosomes is present in the parent cell. Each chromosome after the S phase has two sister chromatids that separate from each other and are segregated to the opposite poles of the cell during anaphase of mitosis. Therefore, a cell with 36 chromosomes will form two daughter cells after one round of mitosis. Each daughter cell would have 36 chromosomes.

Hunting is a form of artificial selection. Defend or refute this statement based on the principles of artificial selection
shtirl [24]

Hunting IS NOT a form of artificial selection because it is not a form of breeding. Artificial selection refers to the intentional breeding of plants or animals. An example would be a thoroughbred racehorses, because they were selectively bred.
