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.

Alexxandr [17]
<h2>True </h2>

Explanation:

  • Segmentation allows for a greater degree of variety among species
  • The concept of segmentation relies upon the ability for organisms to duplicate organs and structural elements, such as arms and legs
  • The ability to divide functions into different portions of the body allows an organism to perform increasingly complex activities and use different segments to perform varying functions
  • For example, humans consist of heteromeric segmentation, in which each segment differs from another and fulfills a specific role
  • Homomeric segmentation refers to segments that contain similar elements, such as with the segments in an Errantia, a type of worm

You are exploring the jungle and find a new species of plant. Some of the flowers are red and some yellow. If the inheritance pa
xxTIMURxx [149]

The expected e heterozygous phenotype would be orange.

Codominance is a type of non-Mendelian inheritance in which both alleles of one genotype are simultaneously expressed. So, in this example if allele A is responsible for red flower color and allele a for yellow flower color, Aa genotype (both alleles) will give both colors  (red and yellow mixed together give orange).

On a biochemical level, cocaine blocks the reabsorption of the neurotransmitter ________.
ANTONII [103]

Dopamine

On a biochemical level, cocaine blocks the reabsorption of the neurotransmitter dopamine.

Dopamine is a neurotransmitter (chemical) released by nerve cells in the body to transmit information from one neuron to another. Dopamine performs various important roles in the brain and body. Cocaine, which is a drug of abuse, blocks the reabsorption of dopamine. Cocaine acts by binding to the dopamine transporter, and stops the removal of dopamine from the synapse. Dopamine then increase in the synapse to form an amplified signal to the receiving nerve cells. This result in euphoria (feeling of intense excitement) experienced immediately after administering the drug.
