In humans, blue eyes are caused by a recessive allele ("b") that dilutes pigment production. BB and Bb individuals have brown ey
saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

Probability that the son will be:

color-blind = 1/2

blue eyed = 1/8

blue eyed and color-blind = 1/16

Explanation:

Mother : BbXcX

Father : BbXY

Colorblindness is X linked recessive trait hence will be caused when the son has XcY genotype.

XcX   X    XY :

     Xc    X

X  XcX  XX

Y   XcY  XY

Half of the sons will have normal vision and other half will be colorblind hence, there is 1/2 probability that the son will be colorblind.

Eye color is autosomal trait and blue color will be produced when the child has bb genotype.

Bb     X    Bb  :

   B    b

B  BB  Bb

b  Bb   bb

1/4 of the children will have blue eyes. Since half of the children are expected to be males, 1/4 * 1/2 = 1/8 sons are expected to have blue eyes.

Probability of a son being blue eyed and color blind will be :

1/8 * 1/2 = 1/16

If you ate more food from secondary consumers, how would this change the percentage of the biomass pyramid necessary to support
Anna007 [38]

Answer:

would increase

Explanation:

The pyramid of biomass is a diagram that exhibits the total biomass of the organisms at different trophic levels, which are required to support life in a given ecosystem. This pyramid usually starts with producers situated on the bottom (e.g., plants), then continues with the organisms that eat these primary consumers (herbivores), after with secondary consumers (carnivores), and so successively. The pyramid of biomass indicates the amount of mass of 1-primary producers required to support the life of the primary consumers, 2- primary consumers needed to support the life of the secondary consumers, 3-secondary consumers needed to support the life of the tertiary consumers, and so successively for each trophic level. In this diagram, the trophic level with a higher amount of biomass (and energy) is usually represented by the producers (i.e., by organisms on the bottom), and this amount of biomass decreases as long as more levels are considered. In consequence, if more food from secondary consumers is consumed, it will produce an increase in the percentage of biomass that is needed to support life.
