Answer: <u>Option B; It traps light energy and converts it into chemical energy.
</u>
This substance is chlorophyll. It is a pigment present in leaves of all plants. It absorbs light energy and provides it to carry out the process of photosynthesis. Light energy is converted into chemical energy, in form of NADPH and ATP, which can be used by plants for photosynthesis.
This pigment is present only in plants, so option A is incorrect.
This pigment only absorbs and transfers energy to other molecules, and is not associated with carbon dioxide directly, so option C and D are also incorrect.
Getting the probability for each event can easily be done using Punnett Square (say, Hh x Hh for the couple since they are both carriers of the disease). Doing so will result to: 0.25 probability of an offspring not having the disease and is not a carrier of the gene, 0.50 probability of an offspring not having the disease and is a carrier of the gene, and a 0.25 probability of an offspring having the disease. The probability of these events apply to each offspring, and will not depend on how many children they want to have. This means each offspring has a 0.25-0.50-0.25 chance of not being a carrier, being a carrier, and having the disease, respectively.
Answer:
1/4
Explanation:
Let the earlobe allele be represented by A. since the attached earlobe is the recessive trait, the genotype would be aa while the free earlobe would be AA. The heterozygous condition would be Aa.
Two individuals heterozygous for free earlobes mated:
Aa x Aa
AA Aa Aa aa
AA and Aa = Free earlobe = 3/4
aa = attached earlobe = 1/4
<em>Hence, the probability of the couple having a child with an attached earlobe is </em><em>1/4.</em>
Blood is made up of red and white blood cells, platelets and plasma. The plasma consists of water (mostly) and dissolved nutrients. When blood is exposed to air, the blood will clot, due to aggravation of the platelets. Then you get a forming scab that will help heal the part that the blood is being exposed from.
