Answer:
ZZ species will take more number of crosses to produce a recessive offspring.
Explanation:
Here Z seems to be the dominant allele. A species having ZZ or homozygous dominant genotype shall not express the recessive phenotype until unless it has both recessive allele and this is not possible as of now or is dependent on the genotype of mating species and the number of generations of development.
If ZZ mates with WW, the offspring in F1 generation will have genotype ZW
However, if the offspring in the F1 generation are crossed then in next generation we could see organism with recessive phenotype i,e WW
ZW*ZW
ZZ, ZW, ZW, WW
While in case of organism having ZW type genotype, recessive phenotype will occur in the first generation cross with the ZW.
Answer:
or 0.0079.
Explanation:
Joyce is planting tulips in her garden.
Number of red (R) bulbs = 5
Number of white (W) bulbs = 5
Total number of ways to plant 10 bulbs in one row is
Cancel out common factors.
It is given that she randomly plants the bulbs so that all 5 red bulbs are next to each other and all 5 white bulbs are next to each other.
Required outcomes are
RRRRRWWWWW and WWWWWRRRRR
Formula for probability:
Therefore the required probability is or 0.0079.
Answer:
A gamete containing an extra chromosome is formed.
Explanation:
Geminal mutations may result in the production of mutant gametes. If such gametes fuse with those from another individual of the opposite sex to form a zygote, the mutation is transmitted to the progeny. A trisomy gamete containing an extra chromosome would transmit the mutation to the offspring after fertilization.
