In mice, the gene for tail length has two alleles. A long tail is dominant to a short tail. If a long-tailed mouse that is heterozygous mates with a short-tailed mouse, what are the chances of having offspring with short tails?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

The chances are  50% of having offspring with short tails since one parent is heterozygous dominant an other is homozygous recessive.

What is allele ?

The alternative forms or variants of a gene are referred to by the word "allele". People have a tendency to group alleles into categories, and this is because they inherit one allele for each autosomal gene from each parent. In common parlance, we refer to them as either normal or wild-type alleles, or aberrant or mutant alleles.

The collection of all of an organism's alleles, also known as variants of a gene, is referred to as the organism's genotype, and it is used to refer to the organism's genetic makeup. As a consequence of this, a test cross can be utilized to assist in establishing whether or not a dominant phenotype is homozygous or heterozygous for a particular allele.

Therefore , after performing a test cross it was found that chances are  50% of having offspring with short tails.

Which of the following conduct the most pollination for angiosperms? squirrels
butterflies
birds
bees

Answers

In this item, we are given with four insects and animals: (1) squirrels, (2) butterflies, (3) birds, and (4) bees. we are to determine which among them conduct the most pollination for angiosperms. The answer to this item is bees. That is the fourth among the choices.
Bees are the most responsible organsism for pollination in angiosperms. They take nectar from the flowers of angiosperms,and bees take the pollen.When bee visits other plan, they may leave the pollen there and cause pollination. This is a mutual relationship.

The scientific evidence that scientists use in supporting or critiquing the conclusions of experiments usually consists ofa)raw data.

b)outlier data.

c)precise data.

d)summarized data

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer would be d) summarized data.

The summarized data gives the quick and easy description of all the observations obtained in the experiment.

The data can be summarized using different categories such as the total of the observations, frequency of the observations, mean value, variation et cetera.

It helps in deducing any conclusion from the observations such as the pattern of increase or decrease in the biological activity.

The scientific evidence that scientists use in supporting or critiquing the conclusions of experiments usually consists of "summarized data" at the end of the study.
