In cocker spaniels, black color (b) is dominant over red (b), and solid color (S) is dominant over spotted (s).
If the genes are linked and the offspring of BBss and bbss individuals are mated with each other, what fraction of their offspring will be black and spotted?

a) 1/16 b) 9/16 c) 1/9 d) 3/16 e) 3/4

Explanation:

As given;

Black (B) is dominant over red (b), so B is dominant over b.

Solid (S) is dominant over spotted color(s), so S is dominant over s.

Offspring of BBss and bbss individuals are:

Gametes of parent BBss are Bs, Bs and gamete of bbss are bs, bs

offspring are : all Bbss

Cross between these offspring is; Bbss×Bbss

Gametes of parent Bbss are: Bs and bs  as given that the genes are linked.

Bs, bs × Bb, bs

Offspring are = BBss, Bbss, Bbss, bbss

Black spotted (B_ss) = 3/4

the national environmental policy act (nepa) is a united states environmental law that promotes the enhancement of the environment and established the president's council on environmental quality (ceq). the law was enacted on january 1, 1970. to date, more than 100 nations around the world have enacted national environmental policies modeled after nepa.

sulfur dioxide

explanation: acid rain is caused by a chemical reaction that begins when compounds like sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides are released into the air. these substances can rise very high into the atmosphere, where they mix and react with water, oxygen, and other chemicals to form more acidic pollutants, known as acid rain.
