Humans take care of their offspring generally till they are 18. But in some cultures it's as soon as they can marry them off, or they never stop fully taking care of the offspring till the parent themselves die.

In flies long wings are a dominant trait and short wings are a recessive trait. If a heterozygous long-winged fly is crossed with a short-winged fly what is the LIKELIHOOD that the offspring will cont?

When a heterozygous long-winged fly (LW) is crossed with a short-winged fly (ww), the possible genotypes of the offspring are LW and ww. This results in a 50% chance of producing long-winged offspring (LW) and a 50% chance of producing short-winged offspring (ww). Therefore, there is a 50% likelihood that the offspring will have long wings.


What happenswhen a species over produce offspring?

The population will diminish. Extinction will occur if insufficient reproduction continues long enough.


If you performed the Drosophila cross LL x ll what phenotypic ratio would you expect among the offspring?

You would expect a 1:1 ratio of offspring with a long body (LL) to offspring with a short body (ll) due to the incomplete dominance of the gene for body length in Drosophila.


A female with a paternal set of one orange and one long gene chromosomes and a maternal set comprised of one blue and one short gene chromosome is expected to produce what types of e?

The offspring are expected to produce both combination of long orange chromosomes from the father and short blue chromosomes from the mother. The possible combinations in the offspring could include long orange/short blue, long orange/short orange, long blue/short orange, or long blue/short blue.

Do sexual and asexual reproduction compare?

Asexual: the offspring has a single parent.Sexual: the offspring has two parents (combining some chromosomes from each parent). In asexual reproduction, as long as there are no mutations, the offspring are identical to the parents; in sexual reproduction, they are not.


How long does the aye-aye live with it's parents?

There have been few observations of aye-aye behavior in the wild, but they appear to have offspring every 2 to 3 years, so the offspring probably stay with their parents for about that long.

How long are lions looked after by their parents after birth?

Lion cubs are taken care of by the pride and its parents for approximately 3 years. Male lions that reach adolescence are kicked out of the pride by the pride ruling male. Female lions stick to the pride and stay with them for as long as they are alive.


How long do penguins look after their offspring?

Penguin parents will stay with their offspring until their offspring have molted. The length of time until maturity depends on the species of penguin, with smaller penguins taking two to three months to mature, and larger penguins such as the King penguins taking up to 15 months to mature. Once the offspring is able to swim, they are old enough to take care of themselves.


What would the length of eye lashes be to the offspring of a mother with long eye lashes and a father with short eye lashes?

It would depend on the dominant gene: I would compare the mother's parents eyelashes to the father's parents eyelashes, for each of the parent's eyelashes that are long it is an increase in 25% that the offspring will have long eyelashes. Unless half of the father's parents have long lashes then that shows the short lash gene is dominant.


How long after birth does a baby shows which color it will have whites mom or black dad?

If the baby's parents are white and black, the baby may show a mix color. Usually, once they reach childhood from being an infant, the offspring shows which parents' color they will favor, or possibly show both.
