The ability of the human body to break down the red color in beets is controlled by an autosomal dominant allele. The inability

is recessive, detected by red coloration of the urine (we will call this phenotype 'secretor).
1. If a nonsecretor woman with a secretor father marries a nonsecretor man who in a previous marriage had a secretor daughter, what is the probability that their first child will be:__________.
a. a secretor girl
b. a nonsecretor girl
c. a secretor boy
2. What is the probability that their first two children will be nonsecretors of either sex?

Answer:

Explanation:

<em>Let the ability to break down the red color in beets be represented by the allele </em><em>B</em><em>. The inability would be represented by the allele </em><em>b</em><em>.</em>

A nonsecretor's genotype would be BB or Bb while a secretor's genotype would be bb.

A nonsecretor woman with a secretor father would be a carrier with genotype Bb. A nonsecretor man who in a previous marriage had a secretor daughter would also be a carrier with genotype Bb. If the two marries:

            <em>Bb     x     Bb</em>

<em>            BB    2Bb    bb</em>

1.

(a) probability of their first child will be a secretor girl = probability of having a girl and being a secretor.

Probability of having a girl = 1/2

Probability of being a secretor = 1/4

<em>probability of their first child will be a secretor girl</em> = 1/2 x 1/4 = 1/8

(b) Probability of their first child being a nonsecretor girl = probability of having a girl and being a nonsecretor.

Probability of having a girl = 1/2

Probability of being a nonsecretor = 3/4

<em>Probability of their first child being a nonsecretor girl = probability of having a girl and being a nonsecretor</em> = 1/2 x 3/4 = 3/8

2. <em>Probability that their first two children will be nonsecretors of either sex = probability of their first being a nonsecretor and of either sex and probability of their second being a nonsecretor and of either sex.</em>

  = 3/4 x 3/4 = 9/16

Triss [41]

Among the tasks in coping with life-threatening illness described by Kenneth Doka, the chronic phase is characterized by "living with the disease".

Kenneth Doka (1995–96) divides the process of dying into three phases, namely the acute, the chronic, and the terminal phases of dying, during which the individual initially is given the diagnosis, then lives with the disease and ultimately surrenders to death.

This phase can be quite long and the supporters may become comfortable in their caregiving role and adjust to the notion of death. This is an important adaptation since a great deal of the care for the terminally ill is given by the family members.

Doka (1998) notes that this phase "is often a period of continued stress, punctuated by points of crisis".

Characters that provide evidence for evolutionary relationships based on shared ancestry are called ____.
Tom [10]

Answer:

Homologous characters

Explanation:

Homologous character is usually defined as those set of characters that are observed in various organisms and are similar to one another. It is because these organisms have obtained these characters from a common ancestor, having that same distinct characters.

The evolution that occurs in this type of organisms are commonly known as the homologous evolution, where the similarities between the organisms are found in terms of physiology, structure and/or other development, depending upon their common ancestors.
