Answer:

The correct genotype would be-

mom: homozygous recessive, father: heterozygous or homozygous dominant, and son : 50%(if father heterozygous dominant) to 100%( if father is homozygous dominant) chances of being hetrozygous dominant.

Explanation:

Listing the genes in the way that they indicates the real combination of alleles is the genotype of individual.

Ability to roll your tongue is a dominant character which has a dominant and a recessive gene. Assume that the dominant allele ‘R’ is for the ability to rolling tongue and the recessive allele ‘r’ for unable to rolling our tongue. As we know mother can not roll her toungue she must have homozygous recessive alleles that means she has two copy of recessive allele. The father could posess any combination of these alleles: RR (homozygous dominant), or Rr(heterozygous dominant).

Thus, the correct genotype would be

mom: homozygous recessive, father: heterozygous or homozygous dominant, and son : 50%(if father heterozygous dominant) to 100%( if father is homozygous dominant) chances of being hetrozygous dominant.

State two ways in which palisade tissue is a dapted for thotosynthesis?<br>​
olga nikolaevna [1]
Palisade mesophyll cells are closely packed to absorb the maximum light. They are at right angles to the surface of leaf to reduce the number of cross walls. Large vacuole pushes chloroplasts to the edge of a cell. Chloroplasts at edge enable short diffusion path for carbon dioxide and to absorb maximum light.

How is a tendon different from a ligament? A. A tendon joins a bone to a bone; a ligament joins a muscle to a bone. B. A tendon
rusak2 [61]
B is correct. A tendon will join a muscle to a bone, and a ligament joins a bone to another bone. I think of it this way, partly influenced by my biology teacher:

- The achilles tendon, at the back of your foot, clearly joins foot to calf muscle
- The word ligament comes from 'deligare' in Latin, which roughly means to tie           together. A ligament 'ties' two bones together
