Answer:

50 percent

Explanation:

A single copy of a dominant allele is enough to be expressed, but recessive alleles need two copies to express. For that reason, the possible genotypes and phenotypes for feather colors are:

  • BB: blue
  • Bb: blue
  • bb: white

The parakeet with blue feathers is heterozygous, so it the has both a dominant allele for blue feathers (B) and a recessive allele for white feathers (b) and the genotype is Bb. The other parakeet is homozygous for white feathers, so it has two <em>b </em>alleles and the genotype bb.

When individuals produce gametes, the alleles separate, so the heterozygous parakeet will produce the gametes <em>B</em> and <em>b</em>, and the homozygous parakeet will produce two <em>b</em> gametes.

The Punnett Square shows the possible combination of the gametes produced by the two parents, and therefore the genotypes of the offspring:

  • Bb - blue feathers
  • Bb - blue feathers
  • bb - white feathers
  • bb - white feathers

2 out of four individuals of the offpring (50%) will have the genotype Bb and blue feathers.

What feature of both true mosses and ferns makes it most surprising that they can survive for many generations in dry deserts? U
FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-A

Explanation:

Desert biomes are characterised by the presence of the arid conditions or with few or less amount of rainfall.

The plant groups called the bryophytes and pteridophytes are dependent on the water for their fertilization which allows completing their life cycle.

In the desert conditions provided in the question, the mosses and ferns survived for many generations as these plant groups produced sperms with flagella which helped the sperms to swim in the water provided by the 10-inch rainfall per year and reach the female gamete and fertilize the egg cell.

Thus, option-A is the correct answer.

The all-or-none phenomenon as applied to nerve conduction states that the whole nerve cell must be stimulated for conduction to
Sphinxa [80]

Answer:True

Explanation:

Nerve impulse must reach a certain threshold in a neuron before action potential can be generated to intiate conduction of action potential.

Therefore if mutiple impulses are generated and these are not upto thresholds , no matter how strong the stimulI are-NO ACTION POTENTIAL WILL BE GENERATED.

THIS IS ALL OR NONE PRINCIPLE

The all or none hypotheses can be best explain with flushing of the water closet after using it. If required volume of water is not pumped into the water closet storage above, no matter how long the handle is push, FLUSHING WILL NOT TAKE PLACE.Thus the threshold volume of water must be met.

In a population of grasshoppers, the color green (G) is completely dominant over the color brown (g). If 23% of the population i
barxatty [35]
The answer is 49.92%

Let's use the <span>Hardy-Weinberg principle:
p + q = 1
p</span>² + 2pq + q² = 1
<span>
where:
p - the frequency of dominant allele G
q - </span>the frequency of recessive allele g
p² - the frequency of homozygous dominant individuals GG with colour green
2pq - the frequency of heterozygous individuals Gg with colour green
p² - the frequency of homozygous recessive individuals gg with color brown

23% of the population is brown: p² = 23% = 0.23
p = √(p²) = √0.23 = 0.48

p = 0.48
p + q = 1
0.48 + q = 1
q = 1 - 0.48 = 0.52

<span>The percentage of the population that is expected to be heterozygous is 2pq:
2pq = 2 * p * q = 2 * 0.48 * 0.52 = 0.4992 = 49.92%</span>

devlian [24]

Answer:

I would expect that the sample has only 50% of the original 235 U.

Explanation:

That is because 235 U has a half-life of 700 million years and I expect that my sample be 350 million years old. 350 is half of 700.

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.
