Answer:

1/2

Explanation:

This question involves a single gene coding for feather color in chickens. The black allele (B) is incompletely dominant over the white allele (W). This means that the allele B will not mask the phenotypic expression of allele W, hence, a third intermediate blue phenotype (BW) will be produced.

According to the question, if two blue chickens are crossed i.e. BW × BW, the gametes B and W will be produced by each parent. Using these gametes in a punnet square (see attached image), the following offsprings will be produced:

BB, BW and WW in the ratio 1:2:1

BB is black, BW is blue, WW is white. Hence, the probability of producing a blue chicken from this cross is 1/2.

What are the pros and cons of CRISPR-cas9

professor190 [17]

Answer:

It has incomparable advantages over other gene editing tools.

Explanation:

For example, the CRISPR-Cas9 system has more target sites than ZFNs and TALENs, and Cas9 has many variants that can be used in a variety of studies. Moreover, the system is extremely easy to use and can be executed in almost any laboratory.

The most important advantages of CRISPR/Cas9 over other genome editing technologies is its simplicity and efficiency. Since it can be applied directly in embryo, CRISPR/Cas9 reduces the time required to modify target genes compared to gene targeting technologies based on the use of embryonic stem (ES) cells.

Disadvantages of CRISPR technology: CRISPR-Cas9 off-target; The effect of off-target can alter the function of a gene and may result in genomic instability, hindering it prospective and application in clinical procedure.

this the best i got, hope it helps :)

Which of the following is used as evidence in supporting the idea that life changes over time?

<span>B.The existence of vestigial structures
</span>
Vestigial structures have been used for long by evolutionists to support the theory of evolution. These organs are believed to have been in use in the past lives but as the species adapts to new forms of life and lifestyle,the vestige organs becomes obsolete,but are not removed by the body. An example of vestige organs in human being are the appendix,tail bone,and mammalian grands in men.

brilliants [131]

When Amanda poured some of the liquid into a test tube, the water curved upwards because of adhesion.

Water has many interesting properties. One of its many properties is its affinity for adhesion. Adhesion is simply what occurs when a molecule of one kind is attracted to a different kind of molecule.

In the case of Amanda, the water will have curved upwards as an example of the adhesion properties of the water, in which its molecules were attracted towards the edges of the test tube.
