Outline a project which aims to find the dominant coat colour in dogs.
Select a homozygous black BB male dog and a homozygous white bb female dog. Crossbreed them and produce offspring F1 generation. If all the offsprings are black we can conclude that black coat colour is dominant over white coat in dogs.

See lessExplain the importance of fossils in deciding evolutionary relationships.
Fossils provide us with the knowledge of animals and plants that lived hundreds of years ago and now which are now extinct. It helps us to compare the animals that lived during prehistoric times with their present descendants. They provide the missing link in the study of evolution.

See lessWhat evidence do we have for the origin of life from inanimate matter?
The evidence for the origin of life from inanimate matter was provided through an experiment, conducted in 1953, by Stanley L. Miller and Harold C. Urey. In the experiment, they assembled an atmosphere containing molecules like ammonia, methane and hydrogen sulphide, but no oxygen, over water.

See lessExplain how sexual reproduction gives rise to more viable variations than asexual reproduction. How does this affect the evolution of those organisms that reproduce sexually?
Sexual reproduction gives rise to more viable variation than asexual reproduction. It is because there is an inbuilt tendency to variation during reproduction, both because of errors in DNA copying, and modes of sexual reproduction.

See lessHow is the equal genetic contribution of male and female parents ensured in the progeny?
The gametes of both the male and the female parent have half the genetic information required for the offspring. Hence, 23 chromosomes are inherited from the father and 23 chromosomes from the mother. Hence, there is an equal contribution of male and females to the offspring.

See lessOnly variations that confer an advantage to an individual organism will survive in a population. Do you agree with this statement? Why or why not?
We agree with the statement that only variations that confer an advantage to an individual organism will survive in a population. All the variations do not have an equal chance of surviving in the environment in which they find themselves. The chances of survival depend on the nature of variations.

See lessWhat is C++? What are the advantages of C++?
C++ is an object-oriented programming language which means that the main focus is on objects and manipulations around these objects. This makes it much easier to manipulate code, unlike procedural or structured programming which requires a series of computational steps to be carried out.

See lessWhat are references in C++?
C++ added the so-called reference variables (or references in short). A reference is an alias, or an alternate name to an existing variable. For example, suppose you make peter a reference (alias) to paul , you can refer to the person as either peter or paul .

See lessDefine token in C++
A token is the smallest element of a C++ program that is meaningful to the compiler. The C++ parser recognizes these kinds of tokens: Keywords. Identifiers. Numeric, Boolean and Pointer Literals.

See lessWhat are classes and objects in C++?
Class is a user-defined datatype that has its own data members and member functions whereas an object is an instance of class by which we can access the data members and member functions of the class.
