Answer:
Part A - Dd
Part B - 50%
Part C - Option E
Part D - dY
Part E - 50%
Part F - 50%
Explanation:
Given,
Let the allele for dominant trait (wild type) be "D" and the allele for recessive ornithine transcarbamylase deficiency (OTD) be "d"
A X-linked recessive gene affects male offspring in a family tree though a female remains a carrier until it mates with a male with the a recessive diseased allele.
Part A
Father's genotype would be Dd. Hence it will pass d gene (X diseased gene ) to her daughter.
Thus , Woman's genotype is Dd
Part B
Genotype of Normal man - DD
DD * Dd
DD, Dd, Dd, DD
One of the two males will have ornithine transcarbamylase deficiency (OTD), an X-linked recessive disorder producing mental deterioration hence, the probability is 50%
Part C
Option E is correct
Only one of the female offspring will have ornithine transcarbamylase deficiency (OTD), an X-linked recessive disorder which will be expressed if other allele is also X linked recessive.
Hence, The chance of being a carrier will be one out of two female offspring i.e 50% and and chance of having OTD is 0%
Part D
dY
Part E
dY * Dd
DY, dY, dD, dd
one out of the two female is diseased. Hence, the probability is 50%
Part F
50%
Is there suppose to be a question here?
Answer:
A. ponds are shallower than lakes
Explanation:
Ponds are not larger than lakes.
Pond water may move more than lakes in some situations, but it is not a defininte.
Lakes don't always have more vegetation than ponds.
Answer:
b) Two traits whose appearance varies based on the environmental conditions
Explanation:
A trait may be determined by genes, environment or the interaction of genes and environment. Some traits are not regulated by genes but the environmental conditions of the individuals regulate them. For example, the physical health of humans depends on their eating habits, nutrition, physical exercises, hygiene, etc. A person eating a nutrient rich diet, living under hygienic conditions is more likely to have good health than slum dwellers. Likewise, muscle strength and muscle mass in humans are mostly regulated by physical activities and diet.
