Suppose that a husband and wife are both heterozygous for a recessive allele for albinism. If they have dizygotic (two-egg) twin

s, what is the probability that both the twins will have the same phenotype for pigmentation? (i.e. they are either both unaffected or both affected).

Answer: probability that both twins are affected is 0.0625 while the probability that both twins are unaffected is 0.5625

Explanation:

If both parents are heterozygous for albinism, it means they both have one recessive allele (Aa) each.

The possible genotype outcome of one child will be

AA Aa Aa aa

Therefore the possiblility one child will inherit both recessive allele (aa) is 1/4 and the probability that one child is unaffected is 3/4

If the had a dizygoyic twins this means the two children have different DNA.

So also the possibility of the second child to inherit both recessive allele (aa) is 1/4

The probability that both the twins are affected is

1/4 * 1/4 =1/16 = 0.0625

The probability that both are unaffected is

3/4 * 3/4 = 9/16 = 0.5625

Answer: The probability of both twins being unaffected is 9/16 = 0.5625.

The probability of both twins being affected is 1/16 = 0.0625

Explanation: Since the two parents are heterozygous for a recessive allele for albinism, therefore their genotype is Aa.

A cross between them will produce the following possible genotypes: AA, Aa, Aa and aa.

_ A a

A AA Aa

a Aa aa

The probability of one child being unaffected is 3/4. The probability of both twins being unaffected is 3/4 x 3/4 = 9/16

=0.5625

The probability of one child being affected is 1/4

The probability of both twins being affected is 1/4 x 1/4= 1/16

=0.0625.

as you drive along the roadside, you and your friend notice a dead deer that apparently was struck by a car. Your friend comment
Mkey [24]
If it is the abdomen and not the stomach area i would say its from the heat. if you've ever seen a dead animal on the side of the road over the course of a few days, they start to swell from the sun beating down on them all day.

Luden [163]

Answer:

The scaling exponent will be 0.75

Explanation:

According to a famous article by Max Kleiber*, the scaling of the metabolic rate or energy consumption for mammals Pmetab (measured in kcal/day) with the body mass Mb (measured in kilograms) is  P metab = 70 Mb^0.75 .

What is the scaling exponent (the quantity x in a scaling law A = cMbx) for the specific metabolic rate as a function of the animal’s body mass?

he scaling of the metabolic rate or energy consumption for mammals P=kcal/day

Mb=body mass in kilograms

Comparing

P metab = 70 Mb^0.75 .

with A = cMb^x

the scaling exponent will be 0.75

metabolic rate is the energy(in kilojoule) consumed at rest. it accounts for the highest amount of energy a body consumes daily

Where does the heating process begin in a hot water heater system?
mote1985 [20]

Answer: Dip tube. This tube, located at the top of the tank, serves as the entry point for water as it flows into the tank. The water then travels to the bottom of the tank, to the area known as the combustion chamber, where the heating process begins.

Explanation: Thats what the internet says, and the internet is almost always right, hope you get it right.

What is the physiological response to hypoxia?
Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

In most tissues of the body, the response to hypoxia is vasodilation. By widening the blood vessels, the tissue allows greater perfusion. By contrast, in the lungs, the response to hypoxia is vasoconstriction.
