The brown-eye allele is dominant over blue-eye allele. A couple currently has 3 children with brown eyes. What is the probabilit

Answer:

The correct answer is: 25 %

Explanation:

According to Mandel's law of inheritance, the dominant allele masks the expression of the recessive allele if present together. If a couple has 3 children with brown eyes. In a monohybrid cross, the ideal phenotypic ratio of the offsprings is 3: 1 or in other words, the dominant character chances to appear is 75% in phenotype.

So, by the law of dominance of monohybrid cross the chances of the fourth child to develop blue eyes is 25%.

Thus, the correct answer is : 25 %.

According to the glossary, what is the difference between a brood chamber and comb foundations? A. A brood chamber is located ou
Wittaler [7]

Answer: C. A brood chamber is made by bees, but comb foundations are built by humans.

Explanation:

The brood chamber is a natural part of the beehive where the bee workers made cells where these works lay eggs. Here, development of the larvae and pupae takes place. The cells of the brood chamber holds the pollen, nectar and honey which is used to feed to develop the larvae.

Comb foundations are the artificial creation made by humans is a place made from wax which forms the base of the honeycomb. It is used to give the support to the beehive.

What are the steps in filament theory
Inessa [10]

Answer and Explanation:

The steps of the sliding filament theory are:

Muscle activation: breakdown of energy (ATP) by myosin.

Before contraction begins, myosin is only associated with a molecule of energy (ATP), which myosin breaks down into its component molecules (ADP + P) causing myosin to change shape.

Muscle contraction: cross-bridge formation

The shape change allows myosin to bind an adjacent actin, creating a cross-bridge.

Recharging: power (pulling) stroke

The cross-bridge formation causes myosin to release ADP+P, change shape, and to pull (slide) actin closer to the center of the myosin molecule.

Relaxaction: cross-bridge detachment

The completion of the pulling stroke further changes the shape of myosin. This allows myosin and ATP to bind, which causes myosin to release actin, destroying the cross-bridge. The cycle is now ready to begin again.

The repeated cycling through these steps generates force (i.e., step 2: cross-bridge formation) and changes in muscle length (i.e., step 3: power stroke), which are necessary to muscle contraction.
