Suppose the tail length of two populations of jerboas is controlled by one gene. to determine the mode of inheritance, a homozygous short‑tailed female is crossed with a homozygous long‑tailed male. a short tailed jerboa. a long tailed, long eared jerboa. then, siblings from the f1 are crossed, and the number of short‑ and long‑tailed animals are counted to determine the phenotype ratio. match the phenotypic ratio anticipated in the offspring from a cross of two heterozygous individuals to the appropriate mode of inheritance for the short‑tail allele.

a) If it's autosomal recessive mode of inheritance, the proportion is 3/4 long tail and 1/4 short tail.

b) If the mode of inheritance is autosomal dominant, the proportion is 3/4 short tail and 1/4 long tail.

c) if the mode of inheritance is sex linked dominant, and the man has the  x mutant chromosome, all women in F2 generation will has short tail and 1/2 of men has short tail and 1/2 of men has long tail.  So in order to explain the inheritance in sex linked clarify how is the male chromosomes xy is needed.

Explanation:

In the Po generation, we have a female homozygous mutant with short tail mu/mu which is crossed  with a male homozygous normal with long tail +/+ who get a son +/mu in the F1 generation. If the F1 generation is crossed with a heterozygous we can obtain the next possibilities in the case of autosomal mode of inheritance.

c.) polymerase chain reaction

- "unlike the original dna fingerprinting method, dna profiling does not use restriction enzymes to cut the dna. instead it uses the polymerase chain reaction (pcr)? to produce many copies of specific str sequences. pcr is an automated procedure that generates lots of copies of a specific sequence of dna."

sheep is a herbivore animal whereas grasshopper belongs to the class chordates but both of them feed on greens.  

if grasshopper and sheep feeding on a pasture land, i do not think both of them will have any impact on each other. however, the number of the species can make difference. since sheep feed on greens, there is a possibility there left no pasture land for the grasshoppers or they may get extinct.
