<span>A protonephridia is known as a flame cell because it is a specialized excretory cell. This simply means that these cells have the ability to remove waste materials within an organ of a particular living organisms.

A yellow female Labrador retriever was mated with a brown male. Half of the puppies were brown, and half were yellow. Explain ho
Over [174]

Answer:

The first male was bb Ee, and the second male was bb EE.

Explanation:

In Labradors coat colour is controlled by two genes. Suppose the two genes are B and E. B produces black colour and recessive form bb gives brown colour. Gene E is epistatic over gene B in its recessive form which means that ee will produce yellow colour regardless of the genotype present of B gene.

The first case is possible if the female lab is bbee (yellow) and the male lab is bbEe (brown):

bbee X bbEe

        bE      be

be  bbEe    bbee

So half of the offspring will be brown (bbEe) and half of them will be yellow (bbee)

The second case is possible if the same female bbee mates with a brown male of different genotype which can be bbEE:

bbee X bbEE

         bE

be   bbEe

So all offspring will be brown (bbEe)

Hence, the first male was bbEe and the second male was bbEE.

Burka [1]

This scientific law is called as Law of conservation of energy.

Sun is the primary source of energy .Energy once produced by the sun is then utilized by the organisms at various tropic levels. The energy is transferred from one organism to another. Energy is neither created nor destroyed. This is called as law of conservation of energy. Plants uses sunlight and make food   and the energy is then transferred to organisms eating it. When the organism dies the energy is released into the environment. This cycle continues and the the law of conservation of energy is maintained.
