In horses, the allele for straight hair (H) is dominant, and the allele for curly hair (h) is recessive. A horse breeder mates a

homozygous doninant mother with a heterozygous male. What is the chance that the offspring will have straight hair?

Answer: The correct answer is -

The chance that the offspring will have straight hair is 100%

Explanation:

As per the given information in the question, straight hair (H) is a dominant trait over curly hair (h) which is a recessive trait.

Dominant trait masks the expression of recessive trait.

Straight hair can have two genotypes that are HH and Hh, whereas recessive trait that is curly hair will only be expressed when present in 'hh' genotype (Homozygous recessive).

Genotype of parents are-

Mother- HH (homozygous dominant)

Father - Hh (heterozygous dominant).

When they are crossed, they will result into following offspring-

HH X Hh

=HH, Hh, HH, Hh

This indicates that all the offspring will be produced with straight hairs.

Thus, there is 100% chance of getting offspring with straight hairs.

It would be 75% because that is 3/4, the chances of dominant offspring.

Suppose that Gene B occurs in a sea turtle gene pool where the frequency of the B1 allele is 0.5 and the frequency of the B2 all
disa [49]

Answer:

Frequency of the B3 allele = 0.1

Explanation:

The allele frequencies in a given population remain constant which means that every generation will have the same gene pool across the generations. As per Hardy Weinberg’s first equilibrium equation, the sum of frequency of all the alleles at a given locus is equal to one  

Thus, if "p" represents the frequency of B1 allele and "q" represents the frequency of B2 allele and "r" represents the allele for B3 allele. Then, sum or "p", "q" and "r" is equal to one.

p+q+r = 1\\

Substituting the given values, we get -

0.5 + 0.4 + r = 1\\0.9 + r = 1\\r = 1-0.9\\r = 0.1

What is the proper position of the erector spinae muscles situated from medially to laterally relative to the axis of the verteb
Kazeer [188]

Answer:

These group of muscles called erector spinae muscles arises from a tendon in the sacral area and pelvis, it extends up to the occipital bone.

Erector spinae muscles originates from the SPINOUS PROCESSES of T9-T12 of the thoracic vertebrae and inserts into the SPINOUS PROCESSES of T1-T2 of the cervical vertebrae

They therefore run vertically on either side of the spine (medially and laterally).

A scan of Sam's genome for the 100 most common mutations known to cause RP didn't find anything. How can you explain this result
yan [13]

Answer:

He is either not carrying the gene for RP or the RP gene has mutated.

Explanation:

RP or Retina Pigmentosa is an eye defect inherited by a person from a parent. The disease is degenerative as the individual gradually loses his sight. It normally starts off as night-blindness and could go as bad as a total loss of sight.

The mutation of both the RPGR and RP2 genes which are responsible for the function and structure of light-reception in the eye accounts for most cases of Retina Pigmentosa disease.

The fact that choanoflagellates and collar cells of sponges resemble each other supports the inference that ________. Group of a
antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

choanoflagellates and sponges are sister groups

Explanation:

The choanoflagellates are small unicellular organisms belonging to the Protista kingdom. These microorganisms are collared flagellates morphologically similar to the choanocyte cells of animal sponges, which have a central flagellum surrounded by a collar of microvilli. In consequence, it has been suggested that choanoflagellates may represent the closest living relatives of primitive metazoans (i.e., they are sister groups to sponges). This hypothesis has recently been supported by both molecular phylogenetic and comparative genomic analyses.
