Imagine that a rancher has a herd of cattle with brown hides and short horns. all of his cattle are also relatively short in stature. if all of these traits were true breeding, what could you say about the progeny of these cattle? a) it is impossible to determine the traits of such progeny—they will likely demonstrate different hide colors, horn lengths, and heights. b) the progeny of these cattle will have brown, black, white, and spotted hides. c) the progeny of these cattle will have short horns, but a variety of hide colors and heights. d) the progeny of these cattle will be short in stature and have brown hides and short horns. e) since the cattle are true breeding, the progeny of this herd will all be sterile.

The correct answer would be option D.

Explanation:

True breeding is a breeding procedure in which the parents would always produce their progeny with the same phenotype characters as the parents carry. This means for every trait these parents are homozygous so their offspring must show a similar phenotype.

In this case, all cattle are true-breeding which means they homozygous alleles show the progeny will also show similar traits which are short stature with brown hides and short horns.

Thus, the correct answer is option D.

question: which statement best describes the different properties of metals?

answer: they are shiny and bend without breaking.

since metals have certain characteristics properties, they include the following: they are ductile, malleable, shiny, hard, lustrous, flexible and they are good conductor of heat and electricity. so therefore, metals are not dull and they are not non-flexible as listed. instead, they are shiny and flexible.
