Answer: Mary's parents' genotype are Aa and AA.

Explanation: Suppose the recessive blood disorder has a genotype of aa.

Mary's husband's genotype, as he has the trait, is aa. Both of their children also have it, so they are aa as well. To have a child with this genotype, Mary must have been a carrier, so her genotype is Aa.

Now, for Mary to be a carrier and since none of her siblings has the disorder,  one of her parents must be heterozygous for the trait (Aa), while the other is homozygous for the trait (Aa).

In other words, Mary's parents' genotypes are Aa and AA.

how does water role in photosynthesis explain increased biological productivity in area of heavy precipitation​
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

Photosynthesis takes in energy from the sun, CO2 and H2O and produces Glucose(don't know formula), O2 and H2O. This means the water is needed for the reaction but isn't transformed. This means that in areas with greater average rainfall, plants generally grow faster.

Please help with my recent questions if this helped. :)

Which statement correctly describes interactions between organisms in this ecosystem?
Nikitich [7]
An ecosystem involves both the biological (plants, animals, human beings) and non-biological (land, water, soil, and atmosphere) community which interacts as a system. More importantly, the living things are very dependent on the abiotic community since it cannot survive by itself. Every animal, plant and human needs the primary physiological needs of water, food and shelter provided by the abiotic system.
