<span>Anton van Leeuwenhoek learned to grind lenses ( 1668) and develop simple microscopes.

</span>

Leeuwenhoek heated the middle of a small soda glass rod , over a flame. On pulling apart the two ends, the glass rod elongated into thin whiskers . 
Heating the end of this whisker resulted in a tiny high quality glass sphere. These glass spheres then became the lens of his microscope, with the smallest sphere providing the greatest magnification.

Leeuwenhoek's designs were very basic. The body of the microscope was a single lens mounted in a tiny hole on a brass plate. The specimen was then mounted on a sharp point that sticks up in front of the lens. It's position and focus could be adjusted by turning the two screws.

The entire instrument was about 3 to 4 inches long and had to be held up close to the eye, requiring good lighting and great patience to use.

Achondroplasia is an autosomal dominant genetic disorder in humans. If a man with Achondroplasia ( heterozygous) and a normal wo
tresset_1 [31]

Answer and Explanation:

Achondroplasia is a form of dwarfism that affects the formation of cartilage; early in development, most of the skeleton is comprised of cartilage. Cartilage is a type of flexible, tough tissue; in achondroplasia ossification (conversion of cartilage to bone) is affected. Symptoms include an enlarged head, shorter upper and lower limbs, and limited motion at the elbow.

Punnett squares are illustrations that display the product of hybrid trait crosses by genetic breeding.

For this cross...

Assuming Achondroplasia= dominant

Parent generation or P generation:

gametes: An → Achondroplasia dominant (A), No Achondroplasia recessive (n)

Heterozygousity describes the allelic makeup; these traits comprise two varying forms of a  gene. However, homozygous traits comprise identical forms of the gene.

Male: An  →  with Achondroplasia

Female: nn → without Achondroplasia

genotypes and phenotypes for parent and offspring...

Assuming heterozygousity of the male , for the cross

P generation:                         An × nn

                          Achondroplasia   × No Achondroplasia

F1 generation:

genotype:                      An × nn       ...(from punnet square)

phenotype:          2 with Achondroplasia ; 2 without

∴ 50% are genotypically heterozygous while 50% is homozygous , 2 with Achondroplasia ; 2 without

Hello there,

1.) According to the biomolecular data, we COULD infer that <span>humans are more closely related to chimps than any other apes. 

2.) </span>Based on the cladogram, if moths undergo complete metamorphosis, we would MOST LIKELY infer that <span>butterflies and flies do as well. 

3.) </span>According to the cladogram, which of these were the direct ancestors of the Kingdom Fungi? <span>Protista 

4.) </span>Trey is looking at a cell under the microscope. It is attached to many other cells, and it has a nucleus and membrane bound organelles. It has no cell wall. In which kingdom should this organism be classified? <span>Fungi 

5.) </span>A review of the cladogram shows a common ancestor for these four types of vertebrates. Which statement BEST explains the genetics represented by the cladogram? <span>Lizards and snakes are more genetically alike than lizards and birds. 

Hope this helps
