A group of 100 female water fleas was placed in each of three culture jars of different sizes. The graph below shows the average number of offspring produced per female each day in each jar. A) water fleas have fewer offspring when they are thinly populated.

B) the ability of a water flea to produce offspring is affected by population density.

C) the reproduction rate of water fleas increases steadily after 20 days.

D) water fleas produce more offspring when they are crowded together.

In a hypothetical breed of dogs, coat color is controlled by two genes. there are six different coat colors in this breed: black, brown, cream, gray, silver, and tan. consider the following crosses. cross 1: black females from a lineage of all black dogs are crossed with brown males from a lineage of all brown dogs. f1 males and females are all black. when f1 are intercrossed, f2 males and females are black or brown. cross 2: black females from a lineage of all black dogs are crossed with tan males from a lineage where all males are tan and all females are cream. f1 males are black, f1 females are gray. when f1 are intercrossed, f2 males and females are black, brown, gray, or tan. cross 3: silver females from a lineage where all females are silver and all males are gray are crossed with brown males from a lineage of all brown dogs. f1 males and females are all gray. when f1 are intercrossed, f2 males are black, brown, gray, or tan, f2 females are cream, gray, silver, or tan. select the correct statements regarding the mode of inheritance of the coat color genes. a) both genes are x-linked. b) both genes are autosomal. c) one of the genes modifies the expression of the other gene. d) each gene has an additive effect on the intensity of coat color. e) each gene independently specifies three colors. f) one of the genes is autosomal, and the other is x-linked.

Why is it incorrect to say that mitochondria function only as energy factories with cell

Gregor mendel is best known for his work with pea plants and for uncover many of the mysteries of genetics. one of his major findings stated that there were specific, physical units of inheritance that are transmitted during reproduction. what is the the name given to these units of inheritance which can be found on chromosomes? a) centromeres b) cytoplasm c) genes d) nucleotides
