Answer:

Women should stand by at least two months after travel (or 2 months after symptoms started to manifest if they get sick) before trying to get pregnant.The waiting period is longer for men because Zika stays in semen longer than in other body fluids.

Comparative anatomy is the study of the similarities and differences in the structures of different species. ... Homologous structures are structures that are similar in related organisms because they were inherited from a common ancestor. These structures may or may not have the same function in the descendants.

Suppose a couple has come to see you to discuss the probability of their children having cystic fibrosis (CF). CF is known to be

m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

The children that the couple may have a 25% chance of having cystic fibrosis and 75% chance of being carriers for the CF gene

Explanation:

We know that both parents are in the same situation. Let's start for example with the mother. She has one parent and one sibling with cystic fibrosis (CF). So, supposing that the allele of the gene that causes the disease is "f", as the disease is autosomal recessive, both, the parent and the sibling have the genotype ff.

Also, knowing that the other parent has a normal phenotype, but the sibling has CF, we deduce that the other parent of the mother must have a Ff.

So, despite the mother's phenotype is normal, her genotype is Ff (see the Punnett square 1) Couple's parents in the attached image). In other words, she is a carrier for the CF gene.

As the parents' situation is analogous, we can deduce that the father also has a genotype Ff and is also a carrier for the CF gene.

Now, if we look at the Punnett square for them (see the square 2) Couple in the attached image), we see that all their children will always have at least one copy of the CF allele, f.

More specifically, their children have 25% chance of having cystic fibrosis and 75% chance of having a normal phenotype but being carriers of the CF gene.
