<span>When plants moved on the land they had to adapt to new environment and </span>to deal with new <span>problems. The main problem for plants was to figure out how to regulate water loss within the cells. One of the solution was the formation of the waxy covering on top of leaves-cuticle, which evolved on the surface of leaves to reduce water loss. Another problem for plants was to figure out how to obtain resources from soil and air, so they developed vascular tissue to transport water/sugar within the plant.</span>

Assume that in cattle a spotted coat is dominant to an even coat, short horns are dominant to long horns, and the traits for coa

kow [346]

Answer:

C. 1/4

Explanation:

Let's assume that the allele for the spotted coat is "S" and the one for the even coat is "s". The allele "L" gives short horns while the recessive allele "l" imparts long horns. The genotype of the cattle heterozygous for both traits would be SsLl. A cross between two heterozygous cattle would produce progeny in following phenotype ratio=

9 spotted coat and short horns: 3 even coat and short horns: 3 spotted coat and long horns: 1 even coat and long horns.

Therefore, the proportion of the progeny with long horns = 4/16= 1/4
