In cats grey color (G) is dominant to white color (g). If a white female has kittens with a heterozygous male, and the mother is

showing that she will be having 9 Kittens, how many kittens would you expect to be white? (Round down to the nearest whole number, you cannot have partial kittens)

Answer:

Rounding down to the nearest whole number, 5  Kittens will be white.

Explanation:

<u>Available data:</u>

  • grey color (G) is dominant
  • white color (g) is recessive
  • white female, gg
  • heterozygous male, Gg
  • 9 Kittens

Cross:

Parental)      Gg     x     gg

Phenotype) Grey      White

Gametes)    G    g      g     g

Punnet square)

                             G             g

                      g    Gg          gg

                      g    Gg          gg

F1) Genotypes:

     1/2 = 50% will be Gg

     1/2 = 50% will be gg

     Phenotypes:

    1/2 = 50% will be Grey (Gg)

    1/2 = 50% will be white (gg)

To calculate the number of kittens that will be white, we need to consider the proportions of cats that will be white in the F1 and that the total number of kittens is 9. So

100% of the progeny ------------------------------- 9 kittens

50% of the progeny----------------------------------X = (50 x 9)/100 = 4.5 kittens ≅ 5  Kittens  

A cat can not have 4.5 kittens, so we must round down to the nearest whole number. 4.5 ≅ 5  Kittens

Rasek [7]

Answer:

It's C.

Explanation:

I chose B but I got it wrong. Since lizards obviously have dry skin, the other option with lizards is C. And you can also see in the cladogram that above "dry skin" is lizards and tigers.

So it's C.

Question # 9
weeeeeb [17]
Photosynthesis is a process by which plants use sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to produce carbohydrates, and other biological compounds, which reduces the amount of carbon dioxide in the air. This is the difference between plants and animals. The carbon dioxide is stored in the plants until they decompose or are burned. So, for example, each fall when the trees lose their leaves and the plants die the level of carbon in the atmosphere goes up. The rest of the tree, bark etc., does not continue to absorb carbon. Plants only take in carbon so long as they are growing and not after they have reached their natural height. Planting trees and other plants is one component of the solution to global warming, but the number of plants we have now cannot consume more carbon than they already do, and there is some evidence that warmer temperatures make photosynthesis more difficult.


The answer is RESPIRATION

What are the features of Oligonucleotide Therapies Discovery?
NikAS [45]

Explanation:

For antisense gene therapy, chemically engineered oligonucleotides complementary to specific mRNA are inserted into the cells which stop the translation of the specific protein. Similarly, the antisense drug contains the vital molecule—“the noncoding mRNA”—which blocks the translation of a specific protein.

How do tornadoes form.
jeyben [28]

Answer:

Most tornadoes form from thunderstorms. You need warm, moist air from the Gulf of Mexico and cool, dry air from Canada. When these two air masses meet, they create instability in the atmosphere. ... Most strong and violent tornadoes form within this area of strong rotation.
