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

Which trait would best indicate that a particular arthropod was a member of subphylum chelicerata?
cupoosta [38]

Answer:

Two body segments.

Explanation:

  • The trait that would best indicate that a particular arthropod was a member of subphylum chelicerata is that it possess two body segments instead of three;
  • A fused head and thorax (cephalothorax), and an abdomen (opisthosoma).
  • Their segmented body with jointed limbs is covered in a cuticle made of chitin and proteins.

Choose the best scientific design to test the question “Which soil type results in the highest yield of tomatoes: clay soil or s
Alexxandr [17]
The best answer would be letter D. C<span>ompare the average number of tomatoes that are produced by 10 tomato plants that are grown in clay soil to the average number of tomatoes that are produced by 10 tomato plants that are grown in sandy soil.

It would be best to grow more than one tomato plant in each soil to truly represent the tomato's growth in them. To average the number of tomatoes yielded by each soil sample would also allow a sample that is more representative of the tomato plants than merely comparing single tomato plants.

gayaneshka [121]

non-photosynthetic plants are not common in nature, they do not have a green color, to be able to answer the question we must know that .......

<h3>General characteristics of plants</h3>

Plants are classified as autotrophic organisms, since the large one is capable of photosynthesis. With the exception of plants, some achlor species being observed, therefore, not achlorizing plants.

<h3>Chloroplast</h3>

Chloroplast, a structure within the cells of plants and green algae that is the site of photosynthesis, the process by which light energy is converted to chemical energy, resulting in the production of oxygen and energy-rich organic compounds.

<h3>It happened in real life</h3>

The newly discovered plant — named <em>Gastrodia kuroshimensis </em>— occurs in the dark understory of forests, where little light penetrates. So instead of using sunlight or photosynthesis to generate nutrients, the plant parasitizes the fungi in the forest soil for its daily dose of nutrition.

With this information we can say that the correct alternative is<u> B</u>. where it states that there are no chloroplasts in the plant cells.

  • B. There are no chloroplasts in the plant's cells.

<u>These </u><u>plants</u><u> that do </u><u>not photosynthesize</u><u> do not have the green </u><u>pigment</u><u>, what gives the </u><u>plants</u><u> their </u><u>green color</u><u> is the </u><u>chlorophyll</u><u> that is in the </u><u>chloroplast.</u>

Arlecino [84]
I’m not sure that your choices are because it says select all that apply but I would tell the mother to stop giving the baby cows milk. The baby needs more iron which is in breast milk or formula if not she can become anemic and cows milk is not easy to digest for babies.

A(n) _____ in a molecule influences the way that a molecule reacts.
vitfil [10]

The correct answer is option B, that is, functional group.  

A functional group refers to a part of a molecule, which is a classified/recognizable group of bound atoms. The functional group provides the molecule with its characteristics, in spite of what molecule comprises it, they are the centers of chemical reactivity. The functional groups in a molecule require to be determined when naming.
