Answer:

50%

Explanation:

According to the given information, the woman is heterozygous for blue eyes. It means that the blue eye color is a dominant trait over brown eyes since heterozygous carrier genotypes are present for dominant alleles only.

Let's assume that the allele for blue eye color is "B" and the one for brown eye color is "b". Therefore, the genotype of heterozygous woman would be "Bb" and the genotype of the homozygous recessive male would be "bb".

A cross between Bb x bb gives following phenotype ratio = 50% brown eye : 50% blue eye

There is 50% probability of their child to have blue eye color.

How remote sensing works and why it is important in cartography
AleksandrR [38]

Advanced technologies like remote sensing have modified the way by which maps are constructed. Remote sensing is the procedure of collecting information about Earth with the help of instruments mounted on airplanes, satellites, or ships.  

Remote sensing helps in monitoring and detecting the physical features of a region by determining its emitted and reflected radiation at a distance from the targeted region. Unique or specialized camera gather remotely sensed pictures of the Earth that assists the researchers in sensing the things about the Earth.
