Answer:
All crosses and proportions, genotypes and phenotypes are attached.
Explanation:
a. Within living organisms, staining is a characteristic governed by a polygenic inheritance, which means that there is more than one gene involved in the staining process. as you already know, each gene has two alleles, if a trait is controlled by 2 genes, it means that we will have 4 alleles at the crosses.
From the description between dominance and recessivity between the alleles that control the colors of the pepper, shown in the question above, we can see that for the crossing between a red pepper and a green pepper, being able to generate a completely orange offspring, it would be necessary that the genotype of the parent peppers was: Red: RGRG, green: rgrg.
This would generate an orange-colored RrGg offspring, as you can see at the F1 crossing.
b. When individuals of F1 offspring are crossed, the combination of alleles and the determination of genotypes and phenotypes becomes much more complex, because instead of 4 alleles, we will have the combination of 16 alleles among themselves. Once again we will need to rely on the description of dominance and recessivity shown in the question above, so that from the crossing between the alleles of each gene, we can reach a conclusion, as you can see in the F2 crossing.
Answer: 41.5 OMGs is the predicted mean cuteness in the next generation.
Explanation:
Cuteness is a way to measure relative ability of individuals with a certain genotype to reproduce successfully.
Mean cuteness is given as the summation of individual cuteness. Mean cuteness also changes in the next generation.
The mean cuteness of the current herd was given as 39.7 OMGs and after 16 individuals were chosen, the mean was given as 41.5.
This implies that there was a change already as mean cuteness will either increase or decrease in the next generation after selection. Here, 39.7 increased to 41.5 .
The predicted mean cuteness is therefore 41.5 OMGs.
Answer:
No, because xanthophyll dissipates absorbed light as heat, and in low light environments, such dissipation would decrease photosynthesis and therefore growth.
Explanation:
Xanthophyll is one of the accessory pigments present in organisms. Being an accessory pigment, the function of xanthophyll is to dissipate the absorbed visible light. Since it dissipates the visible light, the light cannot be used by Chlorella to drive the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis.
When a mutant Chlorella is grown in the shady region, the dissipation of light by xanthophyll would further reduce the rate of photosynthesis. This mutation is not an adaptive feature in shady regions where the rate of photosynthesis is already lower due to limited availability of light and therefore, would not be favored by natural selection and would not spread to the future generations.

Other possible but unlikely ways include blood transfusions and organ transplants, so the physician would likely be able to track down whether Peter donated any blood during his recent hospital visits.</span>
