In guinea pigs, fur length is controlled by one gene. The F allele generates long fur and the f allele generates short fur. Because only one F copy is needed to show the trait, if a guinea pig has the FF or Ff allele combination, they will have long fur. If they have the ff allele combination, they will have short fur. Look at the data for a guinea pig population to answer the following questions. Guinea pig 1: Long fur (FF) Guinea pig 2: Short fur (ff) Guinea pig 3: Long fur (FF) Guinea pig 4: Long fur (Ff) The sum of the genetic traits in this population is called its . There is a total of alleles in this population. There are F alleles in the population. There are f alleles in the population.

Recently, crops of vegetables such as lettuce and green onions have been contaminated, while they are still on the farm, with bacteria that cause food poisoning. how will science influence the way the government responds to prevent an increase in food-borne diseases? because science has shown that lettuce and green onions are not nutritionally valuable, the government may pass laws that ban the sale of lettuce and green onions. because science has shown that there is no way to prevent bacterial contamination, the government may pass laws that punish businesses that buy lettuce and green onions. because science has shown that the washing of hands prevent the spread of infectious diseases among people, the government may pass laws that require hand washing by everyone who handles food. because science has shown there are ways to find the source of the contamination, the government may pass laws that require farm practices that reduce the contamination of lettuce and green onions.
