2. In dogs, there is an hereditary deafness caused by a recessive gene, "d." A kennel
owner has a male dog that she wants to use for breeding purposes if possible. The dog
can hear, so the owner knows his genotype is either DD or Dd. If the dog's genotype is
Dd, the owner does not wish to use him for breeding so that the deafness gene will not
be passed on. This can be tested by breeding the dog to a deaf female (dd). Draw the
Punnett squares to illustrate these two possible crosses. In each case, what
percentage/how many of the offspring would be expected to be hearing? deaf? How
could you tell the genotype of this male dog? Also, using Punnett square(s), show how
two hearing dogs could produce deaf offspring.

Ocean waves move up and down in circles, but transmit horizontally toward the shore.

The collared lizard is a species found in the desert southwest. male collared lizards show considerable color variation, ranging from brightly colored to a very dull pattern. your goal is to determine the function, if any, of male color patterns in collared lizards, using the scientific method. your tentative explanation is that male color plays a role in attracting females for mating purposes. you predict that females will preferentially choose brightly colored males over dull-colored ones. to test this prediction, you observed the interactions of female collared lizards with their male counterparts. you selected males that were the same age and size, and that differed only in their coloration pattern. you placed equal numbers of the two types of male lizards, bright and dull, in aquariums, along with one female lizard per aquarium. out of 350 aquariums observed, the female chose to mate with the brightly colored male 277 times, and the dull-colored male 70 times. in 3 instances, the females did not mate with either type. create a bar graph of your data, plotting the type of male (dull or brightly colored) on the x-axis. on the y-axis, plot the frequency with which each type of male was chosen by females. using this graph, answer the following question(s). is it reasonable to conclude (i. e., is it supported by the data) that female collared lizards prefer more brightly colored male lizards over dull-colored males?
