A mother's diet before conception can permanently affect how her child's genes function, according to a study published in Nature Communications. A 2003 study found that a female mouse's diet can change her offspring's coat color by permanently modifying DNA methylation.
The speed of a sound wave depends upon the medium through which it travels. In general, sound travels faster through solids than through liquids or gases. Also, the denser the medium, the slower sound will travel through it. The same sound will travel at a different speed on a cold day than it would on a warm day.
Answer:
12 : 3 : 1
Explanation:
According to Mendel's principles, a dihybrid cross between two heterozygous summer squash parents (WwGg X WwGg) should yield offsprings, 12 with white, 3 with yellow and 1 with green color phenotype. The classic Mendelian phenotypic ratio for dihybrid cross is 9:3:3:1. In this case, genotypes W- G- and W- gg produce white color phenotype. This is because we have 12: 3: 1 phenotypic ratio in which the alleles of two different genes assort independently into gametes.
<em>Dihybrid cross for heterozygous summer squash:</em>
WG Wg wG wg
WG WWGG WWGg WwGG WwGg
Wg WWGg WWgg WwGg Wwgg
wG WwGG WwGg wwGG wwGg
wg WwGg Wwgg wwGg wwgg
Genotypes:
W-G- and W- gg = white = 12
ww G- = yellow = 3
ww gg = green = 1
