The probability that the daughter is a heterozygote for both genes is 1.0

What is achondroplasia dwarfism?

The fibroblast growth factor receptor is a protein in the body that is impacted by the genetic disorder achondroplasia. This protein starts to behave incorrectly in a condition called achondroplasia, which slows the formation of bone in the growth plate cartilage.

As achondroplasia dwarfism is an autosomal dominant disorder it will be passed on to the daughter.

What is red-green color blindness?

The most prevalent form of color blindness is red-green color blindness. This disorder, also known as deuteranopia, is most likely a congenital one. In this, the person is unable to distinguish between red and green colors.

As this disease is X-linked and the mother is affected hence it will be transmitted to her daughter.

Hence, the daughter will carry the genes for both diseases and thus will be heterozygote.

In 3-5 sentences, describe the human respiratory system and its functions.

Liula [17]

Answer:

The respiratory system is a biological system consisting of specific organs and structures used for gas exchange in animals and plants. The anatomy and physiology that make this happen varies greatly, depending on the size of the organism, the environment in which it lives and its evolutionary history. In land animals the respiratory surface is internalized as linings of the lungs. Gas exchange in the lungs occurs in millions of small air sacs called alveoli in mammals and reptiles, but atria in birds. These microscopic air sacs have a very rich blood supply, thus bringing the air into close contact with the blood. These air sacs communicate with the external environment via a system of airways, or hollow tubes, of which the largest is the trachea, which branches in the middle of the chest into the two main bronchi. These enter the lungs where they branch into progressively narrower secondary and tertiary bronchi that branch into numerous smaller tubes, the bronchioles. In birds the bronchioles are termed parabronchi. It is the bronchioles, or parabronchi that generally open into the microscopic alveoli in mammals and atria in birds. Air has to be pumped from the environment into the alveoli or atria by the process of breathing which involves the muscles of respiration.

Kira is a hemophiliac. This means that she does not produce clotting factors. What aspect of the clotting process should she be

meriva

A hemopheliac is someone with a bleeding disorder resulting from any missing clotting factors in their blood. Vasoconstriction isn't generally the problem in hemophiliacs, nor is it the destruction of pathogens. If fibrin threads are not present to help form the platelet plug, then excessive bleeding occurs. Fibrin is one clotting factor that a hemophiliac may be missing which is then causing the disorder.

Human beings have about 100,000 genes, and each has a single specific function. True or False

melomori [17]

I would go with false, because not only 100,000 genes, there are lots to those. and there are not even like 100,000 genes, that is not really possible!!
hope that this helps you! =)
