First we have to figure out whether the allele controlling for that trait is dominant or recessive. From female A, the pedigree indicates that she shows the trait, but neither of her parents shows the phenotype of the trait. Female A is only possible to have the trait showed if both of her parents carry an allele of the trait. So, that allele for controlling the trait should be recessive and their parents are heterozygous as neither of the parents shows it in their phenotype.

After we figured out the allele is recessive, we can easily determine the genotype of female A. Traits that are controlled by recessive alleles can only be shown in phenotypes if theres no dominant allele existing. Therefore, the genotype of female A must be both recessive, and that means she's homozygous (recessive).

Cerebrum is involved in the conscious thought and intellectual function. Cerebrum process the sensory as well motor function of the nervous system. The voluntary actions of the body is controlled by cerebrum.

What was the purpose of placing the drop of distilled water onto the slide before smearing the bacterial colony onto the slide?

12345 [234]

Answer:

1. In order to fix the bacterial to the slide;

so that it will not be lost during the staining procedure.

so that false impression or result will not be given by the bacteria in water,

Distilled water is used to prevent contamination with impurities e,g metals ions and crystals.

Explanation.

In smear preparation; the bacterial cells should also be well dispersed,so that they do not clumped together to form' big glob'.(large round masses) The later affect clear field view of the bacterial mophology, affected staining, and therefore gives inaccurate results,

Fixing to the slide also affects the morphology of bacterial cells, through shrinking in size, which can lead to loss of structural characteristics and extra-cellular matrixes,

What the seven steps of the water cycle and define each step

Naddik [55]

The first step of the water cycle is evaporation. It is the process where the water at the surface turns into something we call water vapor. The second step is condensation. This is the process when the water vapor turns into ice/water droplets. The third step is sublimation. It is the process of when the ice directly converts into water vapor with out turning into liquid water. The forth step is precipitation. This is when the clouds pour down due to temperature or wind change. The fifth step is transpiration. When the water sinks into the roots of the plant, the transpiration process is similar by when liquid water is turned into water vapor the the plant. The sixth step is runoff. This is when water runs over the surface of the earth. The final process is infiltration. This is if some of the water does not runoff into rivers, the water seeps into the ground and increases the level of ground water table.
