1) the bison herd on konza prairie has begun to show a genetic defect. some of the males have a condition known as "rabbit hock" in which the knee of the back leg is malformed slightly. the gene controlling this trait is located on the x chromosome and is recessive.
a. what type of inheritance is “rabbit hock”?

b. create a punnett square between the herd bull (the dominant one which does most of the breeding) who is normal (xn) mates with a cow that is a carrier for rabbit hock.

c. what are the genotypic and phenotypic ratios?

d. a game and parks worker notices that a newborn female exhibits “rabbit hock”. is it possible for the herd bull to have fathered this newborn? why?

1: most common garden plants prefer loam — soils with a balance of different-sized mineral particles (approximately 40% sand, 40% silt, and 20% clay) with ample organic matter and pore space. however, some plants grow better in sandy soils, while others are well-adapted to clay soils.

2: available water capacity is the maximum amount of plant available water a soil can provide. it is an indicator of a soil's ability to retain water and make it sufficiently available for plant use. available water capacity is the water held in soil between its field capacity and permanent wilting point.

3: it is the same for all living things (plants and animals). it also includes very tiny organisms that our eyes cannot see. they are known as microorganisms, and include viruses, bacteria and fungi.
