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

Which protective covering of the brain provides passageways for cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) to drain into the superior sagittal si
expeople1 [14]

Answer:

The correct answer is C) arachnoid mater.

Explanation:

Arachnoid mater, along with pia mater and dura mater, form the <u>meninges</u>, a very thick membrane that protects the brain and the spinal cord. The arachnoid mater is in the middle of the other two layers and it is very important since it holds the <u>cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)</u> in its interior. Arachnoid mater has finger-like projections that enter the dural venous sinuses and are called <u>arachnoid villi</u>. These villi are responsible for the diffusion of CSF into the blood.
