Answer:
2. 1 Pink : 1 white
3. 1 Red : 1 Pink
4. 1 Red : 2 Pink : 1 White
Explanation:
This question involves a single gene coding for flower colour in snapdragon plants. The alleles of the gene exhibits incomplete dominance i.e. the red allele (R) ia not completely dominant over the white allele (W), hence an intermediate pink phenotype (RW) is formed. Based on this, a red snapdragon will have genotype, CRCR while a white one will have genotype, CWCW. The intermediate pink phenotype will have a genotype, CRCW.
The image attached to this question shows four crosses between different traits.
In the second cross between a pink (CRCW) and white offspring (CWCW), 2pink and 2white offsprings will be possibly produced in the ratio 1:1.
In the third cross between a red (CRCR) and pink (CRCW) snapdragon, 2 red and 2 Pink offsprings will possibly be produced in a ratio 1:1.
In the fourth cross between a pink (CRCW) and pink (CRCW) snapdragon, red, pink and white offsprings will be produced in the ratio 1:2:1.
See attached image for the complete punnet square. Note that, there was a mistake in the Genotype of the last cross i.e. pink has genotype CRCW not CWCW.
In order to solve this problem we use these formula:
<span>p2 + 2pq + q2 = 1p + q = 1p = % dominant allele in the population
q = % recessive allele in the population
p2 = % homozygous dominant individuals
q2 = % homozygous recessive individuals
2pq = % heterozygous individualsFrom the given, we haveq2 = 21%Simply taking the square root,q = 4.58%</span>
Pharyngeal constrictor muscles (superior, middle and inferior)
The pharyngeal constrictor muscles are a group of muscles that form the lumen of the pharynx. After you swallow, an act that you have control, it starts a involuntary contraction by these muscles to propel the bolus downwards.
Answer:
C. She treats the coral samples identically with varying levels of carbonic acid.
Explanation:
She releases cement particles into a random number of the coral samples.
Doing this is uncontrolled, using a random number for anything in an experiment is a no no.
She uses three different types of coral to establish her dependent variables.
Different types of coral could react differently to the acid, always use only one dependent variable in an experiment.
She obtains her coral samples from coral reefs surrounding different continents.
It is important that the samples of coral be as close to the same as possible so that the coral variables stay constant.
