Achondroplasia is an autosomal dominant genetic disorder in humans. If a man with Achondroplasia ( heterozygous) and a normal wo

man have children, what will be their genotypes and phenotypes?​

Answer and Explanation:

Achondroplasia is a form of dwarfism that affects the formation of cartilage; early in development, most of the skeleton is comprised of cartilage. Cartilage is a type of flexible, tough tissue; in achondroplasia ossification (conversion of cartilage to bone) is affected. Symptoms include an enlarged head, shorter upper and lower limbs, and limited motion at the elbow.

Punnett squares are illustrations that display the product of hybrid trait crosses by genetic breeding.

For this cross...

Assuming Achondroplasia= dominant

Parent generation or P generation:

gametes: An → Achondroplasia dominant (A), No Achondroplasia recessive (n)

Heterozygousity describes the allelic makeup; these traits comprise two varying forms of a  gene. However, homozygous traits comprise identical forms of the gene.

Male: An  →  with Achondroplasia

Female: nn → without Achondroplasia

genotypes and phenotypes for parent and offspring...

Assuming heterozygousity of the male , for the cross

P generation:                         An × nn

                          Achondroplasia   × No Achondroplasia

F1 generation:

genotype:                      An × nn       ...(from punnet square)

phenotype:          2 with Achondroplasia ; 2 without

∴ 50% are genotypically heterozygous while 50% is homozygous , 2 with Achondroplasia ; 2 without

Where does climate change will impact<br> land animals?
adell [148]

Climate variability and change affects birdlife and animals in a number of ways; birds lay eggs earlier in the year than usual, plants bloom earlier and mammals are come out of hibernation sooner. Distribution of animals is also affected; with many species moving closer to the poles as a response to the rise in global temperatures. Birds are migrating and arriving at their nesting grounds earlier, and the nesting grounds that they are moving to are not as far away as they used to be and in some countries the birds don’t even leave anymore, as the climate is suitable all year round.

How are the fluke larvae transferred from the snail (invertebrate host) to the vertebrate host?
Vesna [10]
The eggs of the fluke are passed into water supplies from feces and urine of infected people. After hatching the parasite actively swims and invades the body of a snail, usually by penetrating through the snail's foot. The parasite requires the presence of certain species of snails (e.g., Oncomelania, Biomphalaria, Bulinus) to transform (and multiply) itself into an infective stage, called cercaria.
