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.

How is it that cells of the body are able to differentiate?
DaniilM [7]
In order for a cell to differentiate into its specialized form and function, it need only manipulate those genes (and thus those proteins) that will be expressed, and not those that will remain silent. The primary mechanism by which genes are turned “on” or “off” is through transcription factors.

Tom [10]

As enlisted in the symptoms, both fever and fatigue indicate a more serious problem. Having a painful, burning sensation when urinating indicates symptoms of a urinary tract infection (UTI). However, further tests are required to find out the true condition of the patient.

Even with any kind of infection, if the patient qualifies at least to or more of the following criteria of Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (SIRS), it is identified to be sepsis.

<span>·         </span>Temp >100.4 or <96.8

<span>·         </span>HR >90

<span>·         </span>RR >20

<span>·         </span>WBC >12,000 or <4000

<span>·         </span>Bands >10%

With the new episode of confusion, it is considered a red flag for older people. Though it may be a sign of a neurological problem, other symptoms mentioned in the scenario are mostly related to a common infection such as (UTI).
