Answer:
probability of the child having attached earlobes since it is recessive i.e (yy)
=1/4
=0.25 × 100%
=25%
Explanation:
If two heterozygous individuals have a child
i.e let the heterozygous individuals be = Xy
if both traits crosses together; their F₁ offspring will be; (XX, Xy, Xy, yy)
Xy × Xy
X y
X XX Xy
y Xy yy
probability of the child having attached earlobes since it is recessive i.e (yy)
=1/4
=0.25 × 100%
=25%
Answer:
b.the recipe because it can be passed on to all relatives
Explanation:
A crooked nose is a genetic trait and can be passed to the progeny via genes only. Sexually reproducing organisms such as humans experience segregation of traits during gamete formation. Therefore, crooked nose inheritance is a chance factor regulated by the inheritance of genes and the segregation of alleles. On the other hand, a recipe for chocolate chip cookies can be shared with all the relatives and other individuals of the population by any means without any conditions. Therefore, a recipe will spread more quickly through the population.
Answer: Glycogen
Explanation: Glycogen is a polysaccharide of glucose. It serves as a form of energy storage in fungi as well as animals and is the main storage form of glucose in the human body. In humans, glycogen is made and stored primarily in the cells of the liver and the muscles.
Answer: option B) Sympatric speciation is best described as a random event that disrupts the allele frequencies in a population
Explanation:
Sympatric speciation is an event/situation whereby organisms of the same species:
- live in the same territory or nearby territories ( i.e do not live in geographical isolation)
- DO NOT interbreed, but select a sexual mate from a much diverse territory to yield new species or offsprings.
This sexual selection then results in generations of offsprings that are genetically different from the rest of the same species due to uneven gene flow or disruption of alleles among the population of same species.
Thus, only option B is true.
