Assume that a black guinea pig crossed with an albino guinea pig produced 5 black offspring. when the albino was crossed with a

second black guinea pig, 4 black and 3 albino offspring were produced. what genetic explanation would apply to these data?

As a matter of terminology, albino guinea pig actually refers to a white fur guinea pig, whose genotype is homozygous recessive (bb).

If it crossed with a black fur guinea pig and gave 5 black fur offsprings, there is a good chance that the black fur parent is homozygous dominant (BB).
The Punnett square would be as follows:

       B      B
b     Bb   Bb
b     Bb   Bb
So they are all heterozygous black fur offsprings.

However, it is not impossible that the black fur parent be heterozygous, namely

       B      b
b    Bb   bb
b    Bb   bb

Giving a 50% chance on each colour.  Thus it is possible (with probability 1/32) that all five offsprings are heterozygous black fur if one of the parents was heterozygous.

In the second case, a homozygous recessive and a homozygous dominant parent will never give a white offspring.  So it is sure that the black fur parent is heterozygous, with the following Punnett square:

       B      b
b     Bb   bb
b     Bb   bb

With a 50% probability for each of Bb (black fur) and bb (white fur).
the distribution 4,3 demonstrates this perfectly.

VikaD [51]

Answer:

Flat worms belong to Phylum- Platyhelminthes as they have flat body because they don't have any coelom in their body or called acoelomate

Explanation:

Coelom is called as the true body cavity that is found in Porifera and Cnidaria but when it comes to platyhelminthes, the coelom is not found and thus they have flat like structure and they are categorized under first triploblastic  animals that is they contain 3 tissue layer which are found in higher animals (Ectoderm, Mesoderm and endoderm) also cephalization takes place in this parasitic group which indicates evolution towards higher, complex organisms.

Answer:

38. Chlorophyll's job in a plant is to absorb light—usually sunlight. The energy absorbed from light is transferred to two kinds of energy-storing molecules. Through photosynthesis, the plant uses the stored energy to convert carbon dioxide (absorbed from the air) and water into glucose, a type of sugar.

39. The energy from light causes a chemical reaction that breaks down the molecules of carbon dioxide and water and reorganizes them to make the sugar (glucose) and oxygen gas

40. Without enough light, a plant cannot photosynthesise very quickly - even if there is plenty of water and carbon dioxide and a suitable temperature. Increasing the light intensity increases the rate of photosynthesis, until some other factor - a limiting factor - becomes in short supply.

41. Photosynthesis, the process by which green plants and certain other organisms transform light energy into chemical energy. During photosynthesis in green plants, light energy is captured and used to convert water, carbon dioxide, and minerals into oxygen and energy-rich organic compounds.
