Magical ability is a dominant trait controlled by two loci. To be able to perform magic, a person would need to carry at least o

n copy of the dominant allele on each of the two loci. Hermione Granger has magical ability but neither one of her parents does. Which of the following are possible genotypes for Hermione Granger’s parents?
a. AAbb x Abb
b. aaBb x AAbb
c. aaBb x aaBB
d. AaBb x AaBb
e. None of the above

Answer:

b. aaBb x AAbb

Explanation:

According to the information in this question, the trait for magic ability is controlled by two genes, each comprising of two alleles i.e. A,a and B,b. However, to be able to perform magic, a person would need to carry at least one copy of the dominant allele (A and B) on each of the two loci.

Hermione Granger has magical ability but neither one of her parents does. This means that although Hermione can perform magic, none of her parents can. Genetically, it means that Hermione posseses at least one copy of the dominant allele on each of the two loci i.e. her genotype is A_B_.

This is only possible in Hermione if her parents transferred a dominant allele at each loci to her. This means that the possible genotypes for Hermione Granger’s parents are aaBb (no magical ability) x AAbb (no magical ability). See the punnet square attached where the probability of producing offsprings with magical ability is 1/2 or 50%.

In Labrador Retrievers, black fur is dominant to yellow fur. How is it possible that 2 retrievers with black fur reproduce puppi
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:  Two Labrador retrievers with black fur can reproduce puppies with yellow fur only when their genotypes are heterozygous dominant for black fur that is- Bb and Bb.

Exaplanation-

As per the given information in the question, black fur is dominant (B) to yellow fur (b). A dominant trait ( depicted by capital letter) masks the expression of recessive trait.

There can be two possible genotypes for black fur that is BB ( homozygous dominant) and Bb ( heterozygous dominant) whereas yellow fur ( which is a recessive trait) can only have one genotype that  bb ( homozygous recessive).

When 2 Labrador retrievers with heterozygous dominant genotype ( Bb) are crossed, they is 25% chance of producing a puppy with yellow fur ( bb).

Refer punnett square.

stiks02 [169]

The correct answer is <em>epithelial tissue. </em>

There are different types of epithelial tissue depending on the type of cells its made of: squamous, columnar, and cuboidal. It can also be divided into simple and stratified depending on the number of layers. Functions of epithelial cells are wide such as secretion, absorption, protection..

Which of these graphs represents the effect of temperature on the rate of photosynthesis? Explain your answer.
olchik [2.2K]
A. A describes the effect of light intensity on photosynthesis.

Answer: A

Explanation:
In plants and other primary producers, photosynthesis is a biological mechanism that is vital to energy production. Energy-containing carbohydrates are derived from light, water and carbon dioxide in the form of glucose molecules.
The waste product oxygen is released as a result. Photosynthesis depends on many variables, including:
carbon dioxide concentration,
ambient temperature
and light intensity
It is a rate-limited reaction. Since photons or particles of light provide the energy required for the reaction, high intensities of light increase the photosynthetic rate. From the graph shown, as the intensity increases steadily, so does the rate- but at too high of an intensity, it ceases to affect the rate of photosynthesis, which becomes constant or plateaus.
Beyond this point, either the supply of carbon dioxide or the temperature limits the reaction. For instance, at high intensities tissues may even be damaged by high temperatures or heat.

When colors are absorbed, the light changes into.<br> ..
Anna71 [15]

Answer: a change in energy state occurs. The answer is dark or opaque - not able to be seen through.

Explanation:

The absorption of light makes an object dark or opaque to the wavelengths or colors of the incoming wave: Wood is opaque to visible light. Some materials are opaque to some wavelengths of light, but transparent to others. Glass and water are opaque to ultraviolet light, but transparent to visible light.

Which of the following is not a component of the respiratory membrane?
Burka [1]

Answer:

D. Type II alveolar cells

Explanation:

Three layers together make the diffusion membrane or respiratory membrane, which make the total thickness of less than a millimeter i.e. about 0.2 micrometer. The three layers are as follows:

1. The squamous epithelium of alveoli. There are two types of alveolar cells called type I and type II. Type I makes the exchange surface of alveolar membrane and type II cells are responsible for secreting the lung surfactant that reduces the surface tension.

2. Endothelial lining of blood capillaries. These is rich network of blood capillaries near the wall of alveoli.

3. In between the squamous epithelium and the endothelium of blood capillaries fused basement membrane is present.
