In cats the trait for hair length is controlled by gene S, where the dominant allele(S) results in short hair and recessives have long hair. The W gene is known as the "masking" gene because a cat that has a dominant W allele in its genotype will have an all-white coat due to a lack of melanin in its skin. Cats with a ww genotype can have a coat of any color, depending on the inheritance of other genes that determine coat color. A male with long hair and a white coat is crossed with a female cat with short hair and a white coat. The owner of the cats has heard about the masking gene and believes that the cross will produce a litter of all-white kittens, some with short hair and some with long hair.

(a) is the owner's prediction accurate? give evidence to support your response.
(b) Based on the given information, determine all of the possible genotypes of the kittens in the litter.

Based on the evidence in the excerpt above, describe in your own words what it would have been like for a person to enter a meat processing plant in the united states

Over the past 60 years, many amphibian species have experienced significant population declines and some species have become extinct. scientists suspected that local human activities such as the destruction of wetlands, regional pollution, and deforestation were the main reasons for these losses. however, research over the past 20 years reveals significant amphibian population declines in protected areas of the world, such as nature preserves and parks. these global declines suggest widespread problems including increased ultraviolet radiation, acid rain, and disease. in switzerland, for example, 14 of the 20 native amphibian species are threatened with extinction. chytridiomycosis is a fungal disease first identified in 1998 as a cause of massive amphibian deaths. in some severely impacted populations, a few individuals have survived, perhaps because of some natural resistance. if these resistant individuals continue to survive and prosper, new resistant populations might emerge. this would be an example of the founder effect artificial selection genetic drift natural selection sexual selection
