The lumper potatoes that were grown in Ireland during the 1800s were essentially clones of one another. They all had the same ge

The question has options that are given as below:

A. Some potatoes would be more likely to have a genetic resistance to the disease and survive. B. The potatoes would have been able to trade genes so that they could survive the disease. C. More of the potatoes would have been edible varieties. D. None of the potatoes would have been infected by the disease.

Answer:

The correct answer is - A. Some potatoes would be more likely to have a genetic resistance to the disease and survive.

Explanation:

Genetic resistance is the capability or ability of some individual organisms of a population or species have to adapt the environmental or genetic changes and survive while other organisms of species are not able to do the same.

In this case, some of the potatoes more likely to show genetic resistance to the disease and condition and survive from the devastation of the potato blight

A woman with normal blood clotting ability whose father was a hemophiliac and whose mother was normal with no family history of
Alborosie

Answer:

The answer is 25%.

Explanation:

Hemophilia is a recessive illness that is x-linked.

If the husband has normal clotting ability, that means he has the dominant gene since he has only one X chromosome.

Since there is a probability that their child will have hemophilia, this means that the woman, who has 2 X chromosomes but has normal blood clotting abilities, has one dominant and one recessive hemophilia gene.

The probability that their first child will be a male is 50% and the probability that he will have hemophilia is also 50% since he will only get the Y chromosome from the father and the mother has one dominant and one recessive.

So the probability that their first child will be a son with hemophilia is 25%.

I hope this answer helps.
