Jim is clearly a carrier for the disease, as is his new wife. 

The distribution will be as such, with C denoted the dominant, non-disease trait and c denoting the hereditary disease. Only cc results in the disease. 
Martha          Jim                Offspring: 
          C          C   c                Cc, cC, CC, cc
          c

There is a 50% chance that the child is a carrier but does not have the disease (Cc)
There is a 25% chance that the child inherited no disease allele and therefore is not a carrier (CC)
There is a 25% chance that the child has the disease (cc)

The probability of having a baby with cystic fibrosis is 25%

<h2>Answer:</h2>

There is 1/4 probability that jim and martha will have cystic fibrocic child.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

As the jim's first child was cystic fibrosis and cystic fibrosis is a recessive disease.

Its mean Jim is a carrier and his second wife martha is also carrier. So the offsprings will be:

For example Jim and martha genotype is Cc and Cc then probability of offsprings are:

Cc × Cc = CC, Cc, Cc, cc

There will be three types of kids:

CC = Healthy kid = 25% = 1/4

Cc = Carrier kid = 50% = 1/2

cc = Diseased kid = 25% = 1/4

Which plant division has seeds with a 3n endosperm due to double fertilization?
matrenka [14]

Answer:

Angiosperms have seeds with an 3n endosperm due to double fertilization.

Explanation:

  • Double fertilization is found only in flowering plants.
  • In angiosperms, the female gametophyte does not grow after reaching eight nucleate stage.
  • After fertilization and triple fusion, the zygote and primary endosperm are created and further growth of embryo sac continues.
  • Triple fusion is the fusion of two haploid polar nuclei of female gametophyte and one male nuclei. This results in a  3n nucleus.
  • The developing embryo obtains nutrition from the endosperm.
  • If fertilization fails no endosperm is formed.
