The allele for dwarfism - D its dominant
Recessive allele -d
If the person has heterozygous alleles -Dd the person will have achrondroplastic dwarfism
However if the person if homozygous for the allele DD it’s Lethal and person can’t survive
If both parents are Dd
Dd X. Dd
Offspring DD Dd Dd dd
Probability of children who survive with the trait have the genotype Dd
Probability - 1/4 + 1/4
Probability of having surviving children with the trait -1/2 -0.5

How do the products and reactants of a chemical change compare?
steposvetlana [31]
The correct answer for this question is "<span>The mass of the products equals the mass of the reactants because the same matter is present."

All chemical reactions follow the Law of Conservation of Mass which states that mass cannot be created nor destroyed. This means that mass is constant before and after a process. If ever it seems like the mass is not the same, it is possible that the missing mass was converted to something else.</span>
