cats generally have gray fur which is caused by a dominant gene. the recessive condition results in orange fur. two heterozygous cats are crossed. what proportion of the offspring will have orange fur if this type of inheritance follows simple mendelian inheritance?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: The answer is 25%.

This is an example of Mendelian monohybrid cross.
If:
A - (dominant) allele for gray fur
a - (recessive) allele for orange fur

Then:
AA - dominant homozygous
Aa - heterozygous
aa - recessive homozygous

The cross between two heterozygous will be:

Parents:            Aa        x        Aa
Offspring:     AA      Aa      Aa       aa

Thus, the offspring will be: 1 out of 4 (25%) dominant homozygous (AA), 2 out of 4 (50%) heterozygous (Aa), and 1 out of 4 (25%) recessive homozygous (aa).
Since the recessive condition results in orange fur, only recessive homozygous (aa) will have orange fur, which is 25% of all the offspring.
Answer 2
Answer: If the dominant gene in cats is the one which gives them gray fur and the recessive condition is responsible for orange fur, then two heterozygous cats which would be crossed would have offspring: 

Ff (cat 1) Ff (cat 2)

FF Ff Ff ff

75% of the offspring would have gray fur (big F) and only 25% of the offspring would have orange fur (two small ffs)

Why is carbon so abundant in living things when oxygen is the most abundant element on Earth? Carbon atoms can bond with one another to make chains and cyclic structures whereas oxygen atoms cannot form chains or cyclic structures.
Carbon atoms are found in compounds that are solids at room temperature whereas oxygen atoms are found in compounds that form gases
Carbon atoms have lower mass than oxygen atoms, which keeps the masses of living things within desirable limits.
Carbon atoms are more stable than oxygen atoms, which allows living things to have more stable compositions.

What does the theory of evolution contribute to conservation biology?

Answers

The theory of evolution provides a number of insights:

-it tells us how the species are related
-it tells us how the species and populations react to the changes in their environment

With this knowledge, the scientists can predict how the species will react to the potential changes and support the positive changes (provide a good environment for the animals for example)
