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.

What evidence shows that biological molecules on earth form naturally?
Anestetic [448]

Explanation:

La siguiente entrada tiene como objetivo realizar una breve explicación sobre las moléculas biológicas  lipídos y carbohidratos, las cuales son muy diversas ya que están formadas por carbono, lo cual hace que puedan formar muchos tipos de enlaces. Esta capacidad permite que las moléculas orgánicas  adopten muchas formas complejas, como son las cadenas, las ramificaciones y los anillos.

Las moléculas biológicas son grandes polímeros que sintetizas para poder enlazarse con otras subunidades mucho mas pequeñas conocidos como monómeros. Las cadenas de subunidades estan unidas por enlaces covalentes los cuales se forman por deshidratación, estas cadenas pueden romperse por hidrólisis. La moléculas biologicas más importantes son los carbohidratos, lípidos, proteínas y ácidos nucleicos.

In the following experiment, what is the independent variable? Dr. Honeydew would like to test the effect of chlorine on Beaker'
Contact [7]

Answer: Chlorine

Explanation:

An independent variable can be define as changable variable, which can be used to determine it's impact over the other variable(s) in the experiment. Dependent variable cannot be changed manually instead changes occur in the independent variable is because of impact of independent variable.

In this experiment, chlorine is the independent variable. The effect of which can be observed on the hair color, which is a dependent variable.
