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.

Why does acid rain adamage mountain lebrty
Marysya12 [62]

Answer:

When sulfurous, sulfuric, and nitric acids in polluted air and rain react with the calcite in marble and limestone, the calcite dissolves. In exposed areas of buildings and statues, we see roughened surfaces, removal of material, and loss of carved details. Stone surface material may be lost all over or only in spots that are more reactive.

Explanation:

You might expect that sheltered areas of stone buildings and monuments would not be affected by acid precipitation. However, sheltered areas on limestone and marble buildings and monuments show blackened crusts that have peeled off in some places, revealing crumbling stone beneath. This black crust is primarily composed of gypsum, a mineral that forms from the reaction between calcite, water, and sulfuric acid. Gypsum is soluble in water; although it can form anywhere on carbonate stone surfaces that are exposed to sulfur dioxide gas (SO2), it is usually washed away. It remains only on protected surfaces that are not directly washed by the rain.

Which of the following does NOT occur during mitosis? a) Centromeres split, b) chromosomes replicate, or c) spindles form?
Andreyy89
The answer is <span> b) chromosomes replicate

DNA replication occurs before mitosis. So, duplicated chromosomes are already present in mitosis. They are connected by centromeres. During different phases of mitosis, spindles are formed and pull chromosomes toward the opposite poles of the cell so centromeres must split.</span>

Alex73 [517]

The correct option is D.

The Taiga biome, which is also known as the coniferous forest has been described as the largest terrestrial biome because it extends across some continents of the world. The biome typically has short summers, which can be very wet and winters, which are long and can be very cold. The majority of plants in taiga biome are conifers and these plants are described as ever green because they remain green all year round.

Axons of the nervous system are described as afferent and efferent according to the direction in which they carry information. W
Ahat [919]

Answer:

The correct option is b) motor output of the spinal cord

Explanation:

Motor neurons, also called afferent neurons, drive impulses from the brain and spinal cord to the receptors (eg, muscles). They are the motor output component of the spinal cord.

The spinal cord is a cord of nerve tissue that runs inside the spine. It conducts the nerve impulses that arrive from the receptors to the brain, and the responses with the motor orders from the brain to the effector organs. Thus, the brain receives the information and can develop an order that modifies the reflex response given by the spinal cord. A spinal nerve has two nerve roots: a motor and a sensory root. The motor root has nerve fibers that carry signals from the spinal cord, to the muscles to stimulate contraction and produce muscle movements, the fibers are efferent as they leave the medulla to the periphery through the anterior roots of the spinal nerves.
