Communication

Communication is a method of transferring information between two persons or organisms. Communication is possible using mutually understood behaviors such as signs, symbols, or language. In the year 1980, S. F. Scudder proposed communication theory. According to his ideas, all living beings on the earth communicate, but the methods of communication differ. Communication skills are now part of soft skills.

Like cats, ogres have X-linked fur colors. They can have either an X that is blue or an X that is green. If a Green male ogre and a Green/Blue spotted female ogre have children. Use XG for green and XB for blue. What percent of FEMALE offspring will have green fur? ____50%_____ (use table below) Blue and green fur? ________50%_______________ What percent of MALE offspring will have green fur? Tell me how you determined this. Related: Explain why (under normal circumstances) female ogres can be Green, Blue, or Green and Blue checkered/spotted whereas male ogres can only be solid Green or solid Blue. You find a rare 1/3000 chance of a male ogre that is green and blue checkered. Give one scenario that might explain this male.

Can it be proven on this evidence alone that he is the father? ^Need answers to that one, including genotype, phenotype gametes and punnett square. This is question 15 as a little background dont need this solved . In humans, there are three alleles for blood type: A, B, and O. The allele for blood type A and the allele for blood type B show incomplete dominance. A person with both alleles has blood type AB. Both A and B dominate type O.
