Answer:

The correct answer is- 4:0

Explanation:

Marfan syndrome is a genetic problem which affects the connective tissue in the body. The trait for this disease is autosomal dominant which means even one abnormal copy of this gene in the offspring or individual is sufficient to cause this syndrome.

Let S is the allele that is dominant for this syndrome and s is recessive. So if a cross between homozygous dominant(SS) and heterozygous individual (Ss) occurs than all the offspring would have this syndrome.  

                                   S      s

                              S  SS   Ss

                              S  SS   Ss

Therefore all 4 offspring would have at least one dominant allele which is sufficient to cause this syndrome. So the phenotype ratio would be 4:0.

What happens during interphase?<br> Apex
Ganezh [65]

Answer AND Explanation:

In spite being called the resting phase, many cellular processes take place during this phase. One of the most important of these is chromosomal replication in which each chromosome produces an exact copy of itself. The chromosomes are not visible as discrete structures but instead they appear as diffuse tangle of threads called chromatin.

Another important event is the formation of new organelles like mitochondria. There is also a build up of energy stores which is necessary to drive the mitotic process.

xenn [34]

Answer:

Explanation:

A single layer of phospholipids forms what is called a micelle. The polar and hydrophilic phospho head groups would form the outermembrane which interacts with the aqueous environment. The nonpolar and hydrophobic lipid tails would be in the cytosol where they pack tightly and form stable interactions with the hydrophobic chains of the stored oil molecules.

dolphi86 [110]

Answer: b. classify all organisms into monophyletic groups.

Explanation:

The modern taxonomy is the study of classification of organisms which classified the organisms on the basis of ancestral relationships, reproduction, morphology and behavior to identify the living organisms on earth and group them together. This is the scientific basis for classifying the species.

The classification of organisms into monophyletic groups is one of the criteria for classification in modern taxonomy. In monophyletic group or clade is a group which includes the descendants that belongs to the common ancestor. The organisms of the group share derived characteristics like morphological similarities, mode of reproduction and similarities at the genomic level.
