In a species of tortoise, foot size (big or smal) is controlled by one gene, while shell shape (round or lumpy) is controlled by another gene. Suppose that a big-footed lumpy-shelled tortoise mates with a small-footed round-shelled tortoise. Eight offspring result: four big-footed round-shelled tortoises and four small-footed round-shelled tortoises. (Assume that the parents are not necessarily homozygous for each allele.)
1. Which statement about the inheritance of shell shape in tortoises is most likely to be correct, given your genetic analysis of the tortoise family?
A) Lumpy is dominant to round
B) Round is dominant to lumpy
C) Round and lumpy are codominant.
D) Shell shape is an example of blending inheritance
E) This cannot be answered without more information.
2. If big feet (B) in tortoises is dominant to small feet (b), what is the genotype of the big-footed parent with respect to the foot gene?
A) bb
B) вв
C) Bb
D) Either bb or BB
E) Either bb and Bl

4.06 hc)a five-year review of threats to the southern resident orca population of the united states concluded that the top threats were prey availability, contaminants, and effects from recreational and whale watching vessels. further down the list are oil spills, disease, and effects from commercial vessels not targeting whales. how might this list be different if it were for transient whale populations, which have a larger average population size and live farther offshore in open waters? a)the transient population is more likely to be affected by contaminants. b)the transient population is less likely to be affected by whale watching vessels. c)the transient population is more likely to be affected by disease. d)the transient population is less likely to be affected by prey availability.

Which is an advantage of having memory cells when a pathogen is encountered for a second time. a) the memory cells are what proliferate into clones of cells in response to the binding of an antigen. b) memory cells are vital to the primary immune response in that they immediately recognize pathogens even at the first encounter. c) memory cells are essentially effector cells that are short lived and attack antigens even without having a receptor specific to that antigen. d) it ensures that more lymphocytes with a receptor specific to a particular antigen will be present than in a host that had never encountered that pathogen.
