Zebrafish (Danio rerio) is an important model organism in the field of genetics. One of the first mutant genes to be studied in

this species was golden. The mutant allele was discovered in a pigmentation mutant purchased from a pet store, which changed the color of the fish from the wild-type silver-white coloration to a pale golden color. Calculate the percent likelihood of golden offspring from a cross between a heterozygous wild-type male fish to a golden female fish a 0% b 50% c 25% d 100%

Answer:

b

Explanation:

<em>Let the wild type trait, the silver-white, be represented by </em><em>A</em><em> allele and the mutant trait, the golden color, be represented by </em><em>a</em><em> allele.</em>

Heterozygous wild-type male fish would be Aa

Golden female fish would be aa

     Aa    x    aa

  Aa   Aa    aa    aa

2/4 Aa = silver-white

2/4 aa = golden color

<em>Hence, the percent likelihood of golden offspring is </em><em>2/4 or 50%.</em>

The correct option is b.

When a person is cut, the injured tissue initially releases chemical signals into the bloodstream. These chemicals signal platel
guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

Platelets would release signals to stimulate the production of more platelets

Explanation:

Positive feedback mechanism is one of the two types of feedback mechanisms (other being negative feedback mechanism) in which the products of a process stimulates more of that product to be synthesized or produced. In other words, the result of a reaction increases the secretion of more results.

In this case where the injured tissue of a cut initially releases chemical signals into the bloodstream. These chemicals signal platelets to be attracted to the injured area. However, if this is a positive feedback mechanism as explained above, Platelets would release signals to stimulate the production of more platelets.
