Last week you were wondering what Jessica and Tom's babies might look like with respect to their eyebrows and earlobes (both Tom

and Jessica have thick eyebrows, controlled by gene E, with thick eyebrows dominant to thin eyebrows, and both of them have free earlobes, controlled by gene F, with free earlobes dominant to attached earlobes). You know that Tom's mom has attached earlobes. Additionally, Tom's mom has thin eyebrows, and so does Jessica's dad. No one in Jessica's pedigree going back to her great grandparents are known to have had attached earlobes, so you assume that she must be homozygous for this trait. If your inferences based on their known pedigrees are correct, what is the probability that Jessica's and Tom's first baby will have free earlobes and thin eyebrows?

Answer:

25%

Explanation:

The possible genotypes and phenotypes are:

  • EE or Ee: thick eyebrows
  • ee: thin eyebrows
  • FF or Ff: free earlobes
  • ff: attached earlobes

Tom and Jessica have thick eyebrows and free earlobes. Tom's mother has attached earlobes, so Tom must have inherited an <em>f</em> allele from her, and because he has free earlobes he must be heterozygous<em> Ff. </em>We assume Jessica is homozygous for free earlobes <em>FF</em>.

Tom's mother and Jessica's father have thin eyebrows, so they are both <em>ee</em> and therefore both Tom and Jessica must be heterozygous <em>Ee</em>.

From the above information, Tom has the genotype EeFf and Jessica is EeFF. If you do a Punnett Square of this cross, you'll get that the probability of having a child with free earlobes and thin eyebrows (eeF_) is 25%.

deforestation the chopping down of large numbers trees for human use is considered to have a negative impact on climate change.
Rudiy27

Answer:

Plants take in carbon dioxide from the environment for photosynthesis. Because trees are large, they need a lot of energy, which likely results in a lot of carbon dioxide being removed from the air. If they’re chopped down, there will be fewer trees to remove the extra carbon dioxide from the air.

1.What is one cost and benefits of double window glazing?
Gnom [1K]

Explanation:

1.Warmer in the winter – Double glazing is great for insulation, it can also help capture natural heat and store it in the winter. This is a great way of keeping your home insulated in the winter months.

Energy cost savings – Less energy is used up to heat or cool a room when double glazed windows are installed, this results in lower energy bills and money being saved. Adding more layers of glazing will increase the insulation levels and save more money.

Cooler in the summer – Double glazed windows can trap some of the rays coming through the windows on a hot summer’s’ day causing your room to be cooler. This means less air-conditioning is required.

Safety – With more units being on double glazed windows, the safety of your home increases. They are harder to break and are sealed tighter than other windows.

Less condensation – Double glazed windows reduce the amount of moisture on your window panes, as the airtight seal prevents the condensation from building up. Other windows often allow condensation to build up which causes window panes to have mould in.

Less noise – With more units comes less noise and a quieter home. If you live by busy roads or in a generally noisy area then double glazed windows are crucial to you
