Figure 10.7 Why was Dolly a Finn-Dorset and not a Scottish Blackface sheep?
Expert Solution & Answer
Summary Introduction
To determine:
Dolly is a Fin-Dorset, not a Scottish Blackface sheep.
Introduction:
Dolly was the first recombinant cloned sheep that was produced by transferring the genetic material from somatic cells of a Fin-Dorset sheep into the egg cells of a Scottish Blackfire sheep.
Explanation of Solution
The genetic material is responsible for the characteristics or phenotype of an organism. The proteins are translated from the genetic material, which ensures the pleasures expressed in it. Since, the genetic material in Dolly sheep was from a Finn-Dorset it has its characteristics. The Scottish Blackface sheep only provided an empty egg cell and its uterus as a surrogate mother.
Conclusion
The genetic material in Dolly sheep came from a Finn-Dorset and therefore, it has the characteristics of Finn-Dorset and not Scottish Blackface sheep.

Is Philippine Native chicken classified as a breed?
A plant breeder found a species of flowering plant with very attractive flowers growing wild in a field and she thought it would appeal to her customers. Some of the plants of this species had red flowers, some white flowers, and some pink flowers. While she would like to be able to offer her customers all three colors of flowers, she only has permission from the landowner to dig up one plant to bring back to the nursery as breeding stock. What would be the best thing for her to do?
Top of Form
Take a white flowering plant since the white allele could be masking the pink allelle.
Take a pink flowering plant since it is likely to carry both the red and white alleles.
Take a red flowering plant since it could produce all three colors eventually.
Take a red flowering plant since the red allele is likely the dominant one.

This meant that almost everyone had both deaf and hearing siblings. In the mid-1850s, the frequency of deaf people on the island was well over 30% higher than the U.S. national average.The high frequency of deaf individuals on the island of Martha’s Vineyard is best explained by Select one: a. genetic drift b. founder effect c. non-random mating d. bottleneck effectarrow_forward
