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

The plant belongs to the group Angiosperm. Vascular plants with seeds could be cycads, Gingko, conifers, or angiosperms. Among those groups, only angiosperms have flowers.
The plant they found have colored, scented flowers which suggests that it could be pollinated by insects or birds. Colored flowers attract birds and insects. Color serves as a guiding mark. Talking of scent, it does not attract bird, but attracts insects. It also serves as the guiding mark.

What happens to excess carbohydrates in animals?
Neporo4naja [7]
<span>Excess carbohydrates in Animals are stored as fats. It mainly gets stored in the skeletal muscles and liver in the form of glycogen. Carbohydrates actually get stored in the form of long polymers of glucose molecules or as glycogen starch. They provide energy to the animals for performing their daily duties. Carbohydrates are generally considered the fuel for all organisms, and without this most animals would become sloth and would be unable to perform the regular jobs. Carbohydrates are actually very easy to metabolise and hence generate quick energy. </span>

Artemon [7]
<span>Factors that can increase mutation rates are high and low temperatures, food additives, and UV rays. All of these answers are correct. Mutation rates in genes vary depending on many environmental effects. UV rays, along with varying temperatures, can cause mutations during cell division due to the damage they impart on the cells that are dividing. Dangerous food additives are believed to cause mutations, as seen in animal studies (ie. aspartame causing cancer in rats).</span>
