Answer:

Tom’s brain makes a voluntary decision to walk into the haunted house. His brain communicates  this message to his skeletal muscles, so he can step inside.

Tom’s sympathetic nervous system causes a fight or flight response, resulting in his increased  heart rate and breathing.

Tom is startled when a costumed character jumps out at him. His reaction is a reflex caused  by his nervous system.

Tom’s brain makes a voluntary decision to run out of the haunted house. His brain communicates  this message to his skeletal muscles.

What is the benefit of composting?
andre [41]
Composting is a form of waste that uses organic materials to put into plants in order to help them grow and flourish. It saves energy, and it doesn't give off many gasses to help the Earth. 
However, it is ineffective on the large scale and cannot be mass produced to help Earth instantly because of the large amounts of inorganic materials.

Which statement best illustrates a biotic or an abiotic factor that is often found in a city park?
ddd [48]

Answer:

Biotic: Plants

Abotic: Rocks

Explanation:

A biotic factor is something in an ecosystem or environment that is living. Some examples that could be found in a park are grass, flowers, trees, squirrels, pigeons, fish or people.

An abiotic factor is the exact opposite of a biotic factor: something in an ecosystem or environment that is not alive. Some examples that may be found in a city park include a park bench, a trash can, rocks, a playground, a pool, basketball court, temperature, and humidity.

Suppose that one of the normal children from Part B and one of the albino children from Part C become the parents of eight offsp
Aleks [24]

Full question from alternative source:

Albinism in humans is inherited as a simple recessive trait. for the following families, determine the most likely genotypes of the parents

Part A

Two normal parents have five children, four normal and one albino. What are the most likely genotypes of the parents?

Part B

A normal male and an albino female have six children, all normal. What is the most likely genotypes of the parents?

Part C

A normal male and an albino female have six children, three normal and three albino. What are the most likely genotypes of the parents?

Part D

Suppose that one of the normal children from Part B and one of the albino children from Part C become the parents of 8 offspring. What would be the expected number of normal and albino offspring?

Answer:

Part A - both heterozygous for the trait (Aa)

Part B - female aa, male likely AA

Part C - female aa, male Aa

Part D - 4 normal, 4 albino (50:50)

Explanation:

Part A

We are told that albinism is a recessive trait. Lets call it a and the normal allele A. Since neither of the parents have it, that must mean they each possess at least one copy of the dominant allele (either AA or Aa). Most of their children are normal, but 1 is albino. The albino child must have inherited two copies of the a allele, one from each parent. This means each parent must possess an a allele and must both be Aa.

Part B

Since the trait is recessive, we already know that the albino female must have the genotype aa. If her husband in homozygous normal (AA), all their children will be heterozygous (Aa), and therefore normal, which is the case in this cross. Therefore aa and AA are the most likely genotypes. However, it is still possible that the male has the genotype Aa. This would mean they had a 50:50 chance of producing an albino offspring. We know they have six normal children, so this is unlikely.

Part C

Since the trait is recessive, we know the female has the genotype aa. Unlike the last family, this family has some albino children. This means that the husband must be a carrier of the trait, but he is unaffected, so must be Aa.

As described in part B, if he is Aa and she is aa, they will have 50:50 normal:albino children. This is the ratio in this family.

Part D

The normal children from Part B are all heterozygous for the trait (Aa), inheriting one normal allele from their father, and one albino allele from their mother. The albino children from part C are all aa. Therefore, the cross is Aa x aa. We can draw a punnett square:

                  Aa

             A         a

       a   Aa       aa

aa   a   Aa       aa

Half the children have the genotype Aa, and half have the genotype aa. That means half will be normal and half will be albino. Therefore, 4 normal, 4 albino.
