Answer: The correct answer is- (C) 50 percent.

Genotype of parents are- Rr ( representing heterozygous dominant ) and rr ( homozygous recessive).

Dominant trait ( depicted by capital letter allele such as 'R' for round seeds)  masks the expression of recessive trait ( depicted by small letter allele such as 'r for wrinkled seeds').

As per the information in the question, round seeds is a dominant trait ( Rr, expressed in heterozygous dominant form) over wrinkled seeds (rr), which is recessive trait.

When the given parents are crossed, they produce offspring with the genotypes  rr ( showing wrinkled seeds) and Rr ( round seeds) in the ratio 1:1.

Thus, the probability that the offspring will have wrinkled seeds is 50 percent.

Refer punnet square.

In order to answer this, you will need to set up a Punett Square (I have attached a picture). 

Since Rr is the genotype of round seeds, we know that round must be dominant to wrinkled, and therefore represented by the allele, R.

Since rr is the genotype of wrinkled seeds, we know that wrinkled must be the recessive trait, and there represented by the allele, r.

Since the Punnett Square shows that the genotype ratio is 2Rr : 2rr, or simplified, 1Rr : 1rr, we now know that there is a 50% chance the offspring will have wrinkled seeds.

This would be called a D. Sinkhole. Sinkholes occur because groundwater washes and deteriorates at limestone under the surface. This leads to underground gaps. Once the pressure becomes high enough, the sinkhole collapse from gravity leaving a dent similar to potholes in the road.

In humans, honey-colored eyes (A) dominate blue (aa). If Zygosity honey-colored male had a baby with blue-eyed female. 1)Determi
Vikentia [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Honey-colored eyes A is dominant over blue-colored eyes a.

A homzygous honey-colored male (AA) had a baby with blue-eyed female (aa).

                           AA    x    aa

Offspring         Aa   Aa   Aa   Aa

1. Since A is dominant over a, <u>all the expected offspring would have honey-color eyes with Aa genotype.</u>

2. The genotype of the homzygous honey-color eyes father would be AA while that of the blue-eye mother would be aa.

someone has their blood tested and finds that their blood sugar level is 138. this is equivalent to 1.38%. How much glucose is i
disa [49]

The amount of glucose in each ml of their blood will be 0.00138 g.

<h3>Blood glucose concentration</h3>

The concentration of glucose in the person's blood is 1.38%.

This means that there is 1.38 g of sugar per Liter of blood.

1 Liter of blood contains 1.38 g of glucose, and there is 1000 mL in 1 Liter of blood.

1000 mL contains 1.38 g

1 ml contains = 1.38 x 1 / 1000 = 0.00138 g

This means 0.00138 g of glucose will be present in every 1 mL of the person's blood.
