Homozygous is the condition that the offsprings would have, if both their parents contribute identical versions of a gene.

<h3>What is the difference between homozygous and heterozygous ?</h3>
  • Homozygous and heterozygous are terms that are used to describe allele pairs.
  • Individuals carrying two identical alleles (RR or rr) are known as homozygous.
  • Individual organisms bearing different alleles (Rr) are known as heterozygous.
  • Homozygous produce only one type of gamete whereas heterozygous produce two types of gametes.

How would damage to the left posterior column affect you?
Yanka [14]

Answer:

Posterior column mediates a pathway called as posterior column medial lemniscus pathway in central nervous which is responsible for mediating certain sensations like touch, vibration etc. Damage to the left posterior column unable to transmit signals to the primary somatosensory cortex in the gyrus and parietal  lobe of the brain.

Explanation:

  • The spinal cord and cerebrum is connected by some specialized tract called as white matter tract. These tracts are either ascending or descending.
  • The another name of ascending pathway is known as medial lemniscus pathway.
  • The origin of this pathway takes place within posterior column of the spinal cord.
  • Posterior column medial lemniscus pathway is important as it transmit signals to the cerebrum which is responsible for generating impulse like vibration, touch etc.
  • Thus damage to this column can't be able to transmit signals to different parts of cerebrum and thus impulse like touch, vibration,pressure etc will not generate.

Choose 6 liquids to layer. Hypothesize what you expect their densities to be. What liquids did you use, and rank their density w
Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

Let's pick six liquids randomly, i.e. honey, corn syrup, whole milk, water, vegetable oil, rubbing alcohol, and put them in a beaker. The higher density liquid will take the bottom position whereas lower density liquids will be on above of high density liquids.

We know that honey has density (g/cm3) of 1.42, dish soap has 1.06, corn syrup has 1.33, milk has 1.03, water has 1.00 (standard), and vegetable oil and 0.92. Therefore, honey will be at the bottom most position (rank #1). Above which would be corn syrup (rank #2), dish soap (rank #3), milk (rank #4), water  (rank #5) and vegetable oil (rank #6).

The results might be surprising for some students who think that water has highest density.

Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

The parents must be Tt, Tt

Explanation:

Based on these results, we can conclude that each of the parents will have one dominant (T) and one recessive allele (t). We can prove this by drawing the Punnett square:

     T      t

T    TT   Tt

t     Tt     tt

We can see that the offspring will have the Tt genotype in two cases, the TT genotype in one case, and the tt genotype in one case, as well. Now we need to do some basic math. Two out of four is 50% (Tt - 50%), and one out of four is 25% (TT - 25%, tt - 25%).

This means that the parents must be Tt, Tt.
