Ear lobes in people may be free hanging or completely attached to the side of the face. This is determined by a single gene locu

s; the free hanging allele, E, is dominant and the attached allele (e) is recessive.A person has the heterozygous genotype Ee. With respect to this gene locus, how many kinds of gametes, eggs or sperm, will this person produce? What will the percent or frequency of each kind of gamete be out of the total possible?A man and a woman who are both heterozygous for ear lobe condition have children. What is the probability that a child will have free ear lobes? What is the probability that a child will have attached ear lobes?A man with attached ear lobes and a woman with free ear lobes have three children; two have free ear lobes and one has attached ear lobes.What is the man’s genotype?What is the woman’s genotype?What are the genotypes of the three children?

Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

Free hanging ear lobe's allele = E

Attached ear lobe's allele = e

E is dominant over e.

  1. <em>A heterozygous person with Ee genotype will produce </em><em>E</em><em> and </em><em>e </em><em>egg/sperm during gametogenesis.</em>

      <em> E gamete = </em><em>50%</em>

       <em>e gamete = </em><em>50%</em>

    2. A man and a woman both heterozygous for earlobe

         Ee   x   Ee

      <em>   Offspring = </em><em>EE, 2Ee, ee</em>

         <em>Probability of a child having free ear lobe = </em><em>3/4</em>

<em>          Probability of a child having attached earlobe = </em><em>1/4</em>

    3. A man attached ear lobe with a woman with free earlobe produced     three children out of which two have free earlobes and one has attached ear lobes.

     <em>Genotype of man with attached earlobe = </em><em>ee</em>

<em>     Genotype of woman with free earlobes = </em><em>Ee</em><em> (since they produced both   free and attached earlobe children)</em>

    ee   x   Ee

<em>Genotype of children = </em><em>Ee, ee, Ee </em><em>and</em><em> ee</em>

   Ee = free earlobes

   ee = attached earlobe

Answer and explanation:

This person can produce two types of gametes, E and e, each one in the same proportion (50 % or 1/2)

It is expected that a monohybrid cross between two heterozygotes for this gene produces a 1 (homozygous dominant) : 2 (heterozygous) : 1 (homozygous recessive) genotype ratio. Since E allele is dominant, it is expected a phenotype ratio of 3 : 1

Answer:

All of the above

Explanation:

ATP synthase is a transmembrane protein enzyme. It harnesses the potential energy –proton motive force-  created by the development of a proton gradient across a membrane (could be across the intermembrane space in chloroplast and mitochondria). As the H+ ions 'drain' back and pass through their channels in the protein enzyme, the synthase is able to phosphorylate ADP and Pi to form ATP.

These ATPs (from photophosporylation) in light-dependent phase, are used in the catabolism of glucose, in the light-indepedent phase.

Which natural selection condition example can be classified as over production of offspring?
Tatiana [17]
Natural selection is the process by which individuals with characteristics that are advantageous for reproduction in a specific environment leave more offspring in the next generation, thereby increasing the proportion of their genes in the population gene pool over time. Natural selection is the principal mechanism of evolutionary change, and is the most important idea in all biology. Natural selection, the unifying concept of life, was first proposed by Charles Darwin, and represents his single greatest contribution to science.

Natural selection occurs in any reproducing population faced with a changing or variable environment. The environment includes not only physical factors such as climate or terrain, but also living factors such as predators, prey, and other members of a population.

Mechanism of Natural Selection

The mechanism of natural selection depends on several phenomena:

• Heredity: Offspring inherit their traits from their parents, in the form of genes.

• Heritable individual variation: Members of a population have slight differences among them, whether in height, eyesight acuity, beak shape, rate of egg production, or other traits that may affect survival and reproduction. If a trait has a genetic basis, it can be passed on to offspring.

• Overproduction of offspring: In any given generation, populations tend to create more progeny than can survive to reproductive age.

• Competition for resources: Because of excess population, individuals must compete for food, nesting sites, mates, or other resources that affect their ability to successfully reproduce.

Given all these factors, natural selection unavoidably occurs. Those members of a population that reproduce the most will, by definition, leave more offspring for the next generation. These offspring inherit their parents' traits, and are therefore also likely to succeed in competition for resources (assuming the environment continues to pose the same challenges as those faced by parents). Over several generations, the proportion of offspring in a population that are descended from the successful ancestor



Uloborid spider eggs and spiderlings. In any given generation, populations tend to create more offspring than can survive to reproductive age.

increases, and traits that made the ancestor successful therefore also increase in frequency. Natural selection leads to adaptation, in which an organism's traits conform to the environment's conditions for existence.

Why does genetic engineering raise ethical concerns​
ELEN [110]

Answer:

Because genetic engineering is no longer based off the natural science of life it is humanly modified which concerns the ethical reasoning of human life and can lead to non humanly right creations
