In a hypothetical breed of dogs, coat color is controlled by two genes. there are six different coat colors in this breed: black, brown, cream, gray, silver, and tan. consider the following crosses. cross 1: black females from a lineage of all black dogs are crossed with brown males from a lineage of all brown dogs. f1 males and females are all black. when f1 are intercrossed, f2 males and females are black or brown. cross 2: black females from a lineage of all black dogs are crossed with tan males from a lineage where all males are tan and all females are cream. f1 males are black, f1 females are gray. when f1 are intercrossed, f2 males and females are black, brown, gray, or tan. cross 3: silver females from a lineage where all females are silver and all males are gray are crossed with brown males from a lineage of all brown dogs. f1 males and females are all gray. when f1 are intercrossed, f2 males are black, brown, gray, or tan, f2 females are cream, gray, silver, or tan. select the correct statements regarding the mode of inheritance of the coat color genes. a) both genes are x-linked. b) both genes are autosomal. c) one of the genes modifies the expression of the other gene. d) each gene has an additive effect on the intensity of coat color. e) each gene independently specifies three colors. f) one of the genes is autosomal, and the other is x-linked.

Read this summary of a scientific theory: "cells are the most basic structural and functional units of life. all living organisms are made up of one or more cells. all cells that are alive in the world today came from pre-existing cells." which of the following would require this theory to be modified? -a.) a survey finds that a majority of people believe viruses carry out the basic processes of life. -b.) a prominent scientist says she feels strongly that one day the theory will be challenged by life on other planets. -c.) the dna of unicellular and multi-cellular organisms is shown to have many fundamental similarities. -d.) scientific observations show that microscopic organisms living in the deep ocean are not made up of cells.
