In horses, the allele for black coat color (E) results in production of a hair pigment called eumelanin and is dominant to the allele for chestnut (e). A horse breeder mates a black mare to a chestnut stallion and a chestnut offspring results. What are the possible genotypes of the mare

Ee

Explanation:

The genotype of the mare can be EE or Ee. This is because she is black and as the colour black comes from a dominant allele, only one of those alleles is needed for the black phenotype. On the other hand, the stallion is chestnut, that is to say he has no dominant allele. So its genotype can only be ee.

So the next step is to find the gametes produced by the horses. During fertilization, the egg and sperm fuse. Each has one allele (one copy of the gene) and together they form a diploid zygote, with two alleles (one from the father and one from the mother)

While the organisms are diploid (two copies of each gene), the gametes are haploid (one copy of each gene). If the mare is Ee, she can produce gametes with an E or an e allele. And if it is EE, it can only produce gametes with an E allele.

Since it is already known that the offspring is chestnut (genotype ee), this tells us that it has inherited an e allele from the mother, not an E allele (since it can only inherit the other e allele from the father because that is the only one allele in his genotype). So, the mother can only be Ee, and the offspring received the allele e from her, and together with the allele e from the father, it formed an ee genotype.

a fossil fuel is a fuel formed by natural processes, such as anaerobic decomposition of buried dead organisms, containing energy originating in ancient photosynthesis.[1] the age of the organisms and their resulting fossil fuels is typically millions of years, and sometimes exceeds 650 million years.[2] fossil fuels contain high percentages of carbon and include petroleum, coal, and natural gas.[3] other commonly used derivatives include kerosene and propane. fossil fuels range from volatile materials with low carbon to hydrogen ratios like methane, to liquids like petroleum, to nonvolatile materials composed of almost pure carbon, like anthracite coal. methane can be found in hydrocarbon fields either alone, associated with oil, or in the form of methane clathrates.

the theory that fossil fuels formed from the fossilized remains of dead plants by exposure to heat and pressure in the earth's crust over millions of years was first introduced by andreas libavius "in his 1597 alchemia [alchymia]" and later by mikhail lomonosov "as early as 1757 and certainly by 1763".[4] the first use of the term "fossil fuel" was by the german chemist caspar neumann, in english translation in 1759.[5]

in 2017 the world's primary energy sources consisted of petroleum (34%), coal (28%), natural gas (23%), amounting to an 85% share for fossil fuels in primary energy consumption in the world.[6] non-fossil sources in 2006 included nuclear (8.5%), hydroelectric (6.3%), and others (geothermal, solar, tidal, wind, wood, waste) amounting to 0.9%.[7] world energy consumption was growing at about 2.3% per year. in 2015 about 18% of worldwide consumption was from renewable sources.[8]
