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.

It would me 50% because when you are born you take from one side or the other with hair and eye color

What should you do if your small boat capsizes in swift water??
natka813 [3]

<span>If ever your small boat capsizes in the swift water, all you need to do is to float on the upstream side of the craft and never try to walk in swift water nor stand, and this will assure your safety. Also make your feet arms widely opened or extended with your feet pointed to the downstream.</span>

Which of the following are thought to be most closely related to humans?
Oxana [17]

The correct answer is: sea stars

All animals listed above are invertebrates. One of the characteristic of invertebrates are that they are protostomes with the exception of Echinodermata (sea stars). The difference between protostomes and deuterostomes is in their embryonic development (orgin of mouth and anus).

In protostomes the mouth forms first: the oral end of the animal develops from the first developmental opening. On the other hand in deuterostomes the first opening (the blastopore) becomes the anus, and the oral end of the develops from the second opening.

Humans are also deuterostomes.

What would be the anti codon in the tRNA for the amino acid trp (tryophan)?
MrRissso [65]
How do the genes in our DNA influence our characteristics? For example, how can a gene determine whether a person is an albino with very pale skin and hair? Basically, a gene is a segment of DNA that provides the instructions for making a protein, and proteins influence our characteristics. This chart describes how two different versions of a gene result in two different versions of a protein which in turn can result in either normal skin and hair color or albinism. DNA  Protein  Characteristic   Version of the gene that provides instructions to make normal protein enzyme  Normal enzyme that makes the pigment molecule in skin and hair  Normal skin and hair color Version of the gene that provides instructions to make defective enzyme  Defective enzyme that does not make this pigment molecule  Albinism (very pale skin and hair) A gene directs the synthesis of a protein by a two-step process. The first step is transcription of the gene in the DNA. Transcription produces a messenger RNA (mRNA) molecule. The second step is translation of the mRNA molecule. Translation produces a protein molecule. During transcription, the sequence of nucleotides in a gene in the DNA is copied to a corresponding sequence of nucleotides in mRNA. During translation, the sequence of nucleotides in the mRNA determines the sequence of amino acids in the protein. After translation, the sequence of amino acids in the protein determines the structure and function of the protein. Differences in protein function can influence characteristics such as normal skin and hair color vs. albinism.
