Turtles belong to the order <u>Testudines</u><u>.</u>

Snakes and marine iguanas below to the order <u>Squamata Oppel</u>

<h3>What are reptiles?</h3>

Reptiles are the animals in the class Reptilia, a paraphyletic grouping comprising all sauropsids except birds. Living reptiles comprise turtles, crocodilians, squamates and rhynchocephalians.

The marine iguana, also known as the sea iguana, saltwater iguana, or Galápagos marine iguana, is a type of iguana that can only be found in the Galapagos Islands. It is a marine reptile that can forage in the sea for algae, which accounts for nearly all of its diet, making it unique among modern lizards.

Turtles are a type of reptile known as a Testudine, and they have a shell made primarily of their ribs. The Pleurodira and Cryptodira groups of modern turtles are distinguished by the way their heads retract.

In animals, the inability to make the pigment melanin results in albinism, a recessive autosomal condition. Two unaffected paren
Fittoniya [83]

Answer: 1/16, or approximately 6.25% (see explanation below)

Explanation:

Answering this question requires two steps.

First, we need to figure out the probability that this couple will have a child with albinism in the first place. We know the following:

- Both parents are unaffected.

- The couple has already had one affected child.

- Albinism follows an autosomal recessive inheritance pattern.

Let ( M = normal gene ) and ( m = mutated gene ). Since the condition is recessive, the affected child can be assumed to have a “mm” genotype. Barring the possibility of a de novo mutation (which are assumed to be rare), the affected child must have inherited one ”m” allele from each parent. Since both of them are unaffected, however, we can assume that they are both carriers (genotype “Mm”). In conclusion, 1/4 of their offspring (25%) <em>for any given pregnancy</em> may be expected to have albinism. See the resulting Punnett square:

<u>       |      M    |      m   </u>

<u>M    |    MM   |    Mm  </u>

<u>m    |    Mm   |    mm  </u>

Note that the question asks about the probability that not one but two consecutive births result in affected children. Since it can be assumed that both events are independent (meaning: the outcome of a pregnancy does not influence the outcome of following ones), we may apply the rule of multiplication for probabilities. The final answer is therefore 1/4 * 1/4 = 1/16.

lakkis [162]

Drosophila melanogaster an excellent model for studying fundamentals of development because many of the genes involved in the development of the fruit fly are also found in humans and  the precise formation of each of their 959 body cells has been mapped.

Its many of the genes involved in the development of the fruit fly are also found in humans. Drosophila melanogasteris which is also called Fruit fly is small in size and minimal requirements, many fly's can be raised and tested within a small laboratory which does not have access time, space or funding.

Genetic factors also make this fly an ideal model organism. Drosophila melanogasteris only has four pairs of chromosomes compared to 23 pairs in humans.

Well, wind and solar energy are good places to look at. The highest wind speed recorded in Antartica was roughly 199 mph, so they would definitely gain a large amount of energy from the wind. A smaller turbine can handle severe weather conditions, so setting some up along the most wind ridden places would be good. Solar energy would also be the best option since their days are longer than their nights over there. There can be days at a time where the sun doesn't rise at all, and then there are some where there is sunlight for a full 24 hours. So, it really depends on your preference, and the cons and pros of the energy type.
For wind: Set up a series of turbines along the areas that have the most wind. Turbines can withstand large storms. There is usually some kind of wind blowing.
For solar: Set up some solar panels where they would be able to get the most amount of sunlight. There are 24 hour long days of sunlight, but there are also some days where there is no sunlight at all.

Hope this helps you a bit.
