<span>A method of deducing the correct species
assignment of a living thing is known as dichotomous key, which is also called
identification key. It works by requiring a user to choose two alternatives at
each step and the choice of one alternatives give the name of the organism or
direct further down in the key. However, a common error in using dichotomous
key is the assumption that the correct name or identification of the organism
is even included in the set of key. Therefore, this method alone is not reliable
to identify specific species.</span>
Answer:
<em>The genotype of the mother will be Bb.</em>
Explanation:
A punnet square can be described as a diagram which is made to depict the outcome of a cross.
In the scenario discussed in the question, the genotype of the male parent will be bY. This is because he has the recessive black spots. As he is a male, he'll only have one allele for this gene.
In order to have one of spot design for each gender, the mother will have the genotype Bb.
The punnet square will be as follows:
b Y
B Bb BY
b bb bY
Answer:
4
Explanation:
According to Mendel's law of purity of gametes, each gamete contains single allele for a gene. The alleles of a gene segregate during gamete formation and each gamete has one allele for a gene irrespective of the total number of alleles for a gene.
If the gene for skin color in a fish species has four alleles, an individuals fish would have only two alleles which in turn would segregate during gamete formation.
Since there are four different alleles of the gene (let's assume a,b,c, and d), total possible gametes produced by this organism will be = 4. A gamete can have one of the total 4 alleles making total 4 types of the gametes each with a or b or c or d allele.
A. The following statements are hypotheses:
1. Glucose may cause an increase in bacterial growth.
2. Increased glucose may lead to capsule formation in bacteria.
B. The following statements are observations:
1. The bacterial colony grown without glucose do not have capsules around their cells.
2. Bacteria growth in the glucose environment increase rapidly and then stopped after sometime.
