<h2><u>Full Question:</u></h2>

In the family tree below, people with the recessive trait of attached earlobes are shaded gray.

What must be true about the person labeled "A"?

A. It is a male with at least one dominant allele.

B. It is a male with two dominant alleles.

C. It is a female with at least one dominant allele.

D. It is a female with two dominant alleles.

<h2><u>Answer:</u></h2>

Its a male with atleast one dominant allele.

Option A.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

The gene for the attached earlobe is recessive while the gene for the free earlobes is dominant. In the phylogenetic tree, we can see that both the father and mother aren't having attached earlobes. So both of them are having atleast one dominant allele which makes them have free earlobe.

In the F1 offsprings, one of the female and a male is having free earlobes. So both of them have atleast one dominant allele. The 2nd female is having an attached earlobe. So both the recessive allele have come form one parent each. So both of them are heterozygous.

Thus, the male marked as A atleast have one dominant allele. He can be a homozygous dominant, but the probability is 25%.

In cats the allele for short hair is dominant over the allele for long hair. A short haired male and long haired female have kit
SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

Genotype of parents:                  Ss     x     ss

Genotype of offsprings:                  Ss    ss

Expected ratio of short to long:      2  :   2 = 1 :  1

The actual ratio in this problem is Eight kittens have short hair and 3 have long hair: 8 : 3

Explanation:

In cats the allele for short hair is dominant over the allele for long hair. (SS or Ss for short hair; ss for long hair).

A short haired male and long haired female have kittens. Eight kittens have short hair and 3 have long hair.

For the parents to have been able to produce long haired offsprings, it means both parents possess one copy each of the recessive traits. Thus we have

Phenotype of parent: A short haired male and long haired female

Genotype of parents:                  Ss     x     ss

Genotype of offsprings:                  Ss    ss

Expected ratio of short to long:      2  :   2 = 1 :  1

The actual ratio in this problem is Eight kittens have short hair and 3 have long hair: 8 : 3

If a meal supplies 110 g of carbohydrates, 25 g of protein, 20 g of fat, and the equivalent of 5 g of alcohol, what % of the kca
mars1129 [50]

Answer:

0.058 % kcalories comes from carbohydrate.

Explanation:

1 g of carbohydrtes gives 4 calories, 1 g of protein gives 4 kcalories, 1 gm of fat gives 9 calories and 1 g of alcohol gives 7 calories of energy.

Thus in a meal  that contains 110 g carbohydrates gives 110 x 4 = 440 calories,  25 g protein gives 25 x 4 = 100 calories, 20 g fat gives 20 x 9 = 180 calories and 5 g alcohol gives 5 x 7 =  35 calories.

Total calories in a meal  440+100+180+35 = 755.

Therefore % of carbogydrate will be 440x 100 divided by 755 = 58.27 %

In kcalories % would be 58.27/1000 = 0.5827 %

Water molecules in lakes and the atmosphere and many miles
Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

Evaporation is the process which allow water molecules to move between lakes and the atmosphere.

Explanation:

Evaporation is a process in which water which is present in liquid form in lakes and ocean evaporated in the form of water vapours. These vapours goes upward and form clouds which moves toward hilly areas with the help of wind. The water present in the clouds come back to the land in the form of rainfall and snowfall. This water flows through the streams and collected in the rivers again and repeat this process.
