A woman with normal color vision has a colorblind daughter. what are the genotypes and phenotypes of both parents

1 answer:

4 0

The only possibility of the daughter being colour blind is where both parents have a recessive gene for colour blindness with the father being colour blind as well. so assuming the recessive allele is Xc, then the genotype of the mother is XCXc, where she has a normal colour vision and the father's genotype is XcY, where he is colour blind.

lina2011 [118]

Adaptation is a phenomenon that is about adjusting certain features to environmental conditions. Ie. birds are adapted to flight as they possess wings, very efficient lungs etc. or tropical plants are adapted to high temperature and humidity as they modified their photosynthesis process. but if some creature is adapted to the specific habitat or conditions, it is hard for it to manage in another habitat/different conditions. ie. birds are fast in the air but on the ground they are quite weak and prone to predators' attacks.

What organelles are found in an animal cell

viva [34]

Answer:

Structurally, plant and animal cells are very similar because they are both eukaryotic cells. They both contain membrane-bound organelles such as the nucleus, mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, golgi apparatus, lysosomes, and peroxisomes. Both also contain similar membranes, cytosol, and cytoskeletal elements.

Explanation: I say this because, although photosynthesis is required to keep the plants alive which causes respiration. It is not objectively needed in the cycle, and it isn't caused by animals.

I hope this helps :D.

The investigations conducted by Edwin Chargaff support the idea that DNA is the source of heritable information, and they also s

siniylev [52]

all the thymine pairs with adenine, therefore there is the same number of adenine and thymine bases and the same percentage

so we have 28%thymine and 28% adenine

100-28-28=44% left

this 44% is guanine and cytosine. All of the guanine pairs with cytosine and all of the cytosine pairs with guanine so we have 44/2=22% cytosine and guanine

composition:

28%adenine

28%thymine

22%guanine

22%cytosine

2) Sometimes insects will instead sit on top of a warm surface in order to increase their body temperature. What is the primary

SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

The correct option is C.

Explanation:

There are three modes of heat conduction, these are conduction, convection and radiation. Heat transfer by conduction usually involves the movement of heat through solid substances. For instance, in the scenario given in this question, the warm surface is the solid substance through which heat is passed to the insects' bodies. Thus, conduction requires direct contact.

Heat transfer by convection method usually involves the movement of heat through liquids or gases while radiation can occur in vacuum.
