In humans there is a dominant allele (A) for the absence of moles; while the recessive allele (a) results in the presence of mol

Art [367]

Answer:

a. $(p + q)^7$ = $p^7q^0+7p^6q+21p^5q^2+35p^4q^3+35p^3q^4+21p^2q^5+7pq^6+p^0q^7$

b. i. 0.75

ii. 0.000061

iii. 0.012

iv. 0.17

c. 0.67

Explanation:

a. The expansion of the binomial (p + q)7 would be such that:

$(p + q)^7$ = $p^7q^0+7p^6q+21p^5q^2+35p^4q^3+35p^3q^4+21p^2q^5+7pq^6+p^0q^7$

b. Both couples are heterozygous:

Aa x Aa

AA Aa Aa aa

Since A is dominant over a,

probability of having mole (aa) = 1/4

probability of not having moles = 3/4

Therefore, the probability of the first child not having moles = 3/4 or 0.75

ii. Let the probability of not having mole = p and the probability of having mole = q. From the binomial expansion:

$(p + q)^7$ = $p^7q^0+7p^6q+21p^5q^2+35p^4q^3+35p^3q^4+21p^2q^5+7pq^6+p^0q^7$

Probability that all of the children will have moles = $p^0q^7$

since p = 3/4 and q = 1/4

$p^0q^7$ = $(3/4)^0(1/4)^7$ = 0.000061

iii. Probability that the first two children will have no moles and the last five will have moles = $21p^2q5$

= $21(3/4)^2(1/4)^5$

= 0.012

iv. Probability that 4 will have no moles and 3 will have moles out of the 7 children = $35p^4q^3$

= $35(3/4)^4(1/4)^3$

= 0.17

c. Probability that the child born without moles is a carrier of the a-allele = probability of heterozygous.

From the cross in (b), the genotypes of those born without moles are AA and 2Aa. Therefore, the probability of not having moles and be Aa is:

= 2/3 or 0.67

Explain how manure and human hair can cause ill health to human beings

choli [55]

Manure contaminates food during its production. Chemicals found in it get absorbed by produce and in turn when you eat it it enters your body and can cause harm and poison you. On the other hand, hair falls in during meal preparations. A hair falls in and can spread bacteria or illnesses to you or anything similar.

How are the atmosphere and hydrosphere connected

tester [92]

Answer:

These spheres are closely connected. For example, many birds (biosphere) fly through the air (atmosphere), while water (hydrosphere) often flows through the soil (lithosphere). This two-way cause and effect relationship between an event and a sphere is called an interaction.

Rigor mortis occurs because ________.

Kamila [148]

Answer:

No ATP is available to release attached actin and myosin molecules.

Explanation:

Two to six hours later after death, all skeletal muscles of the body become rigid and stiff. This situation is defined as Rigor mortis. It occurs from the lack of ATP along with the production of lactic acid. When breathing stopped permanently in the body, oxygen level also reduced; that’s why body muscles cannot go for any aerobic respiration to produce any ATP.

As we know already, during every muscle construction, ATP needs to break the cross-bridge between Myosin and Actin. So if there is no ATP produced in the body, separation of Myosin molecules from Actin molecules cannot happen anymore. This situation leads for rigor mortis.
