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.

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.

Complex sugars are called _____. A) monosaccharides B) disaccharides C) polysaccharides
Brums [2.3K]
Complex sugars are called polysaccharides. The correct answer is C. The Latin prefix poly- means many, so the entire name of this saccharide means that there are many atoms of sugar in it, which makes it a complex sugar. Di- in disaccharide means 2, and mono- in monosaccharide means 1, neither of which is complex.
