Dimples and long eyelashes are both autosomal dominant traits. If a woman with no dimples, who is heterozygous for long eyelashe

s, mates with a man who is heterozygous for dimples, and has short eyelashes,a) What is the woman's genotype?b) What is the man's phenotype?c) What are the chances that this couple produces a child without dimples?d) What are the chances that this couple produces a child without dimples AND without long eyelashes?

Answer:

a) aaBb

b) Dimples and short eyelashes

c) 50%

d) 25%

Explanation:

Let the gene for dimples be A

Let the gene for eyelashes be B

a) Woman has no dimples (aa) and is heterozygous for long eyelashes (Bb) so her genotype : aaBb

b) Man is heterozygous for dimples (Aa) so he will have dimples and it is already given that he has short eyelashes (bb)

When aaBb X Aabb :

        aB         ab

Ab  AaBb    Aabb

ab   aaBb    aabb

c) Out of the four possible combinations, aaBb and aabb will be born without dimples so this couple has 50% chance to produce a child without dimples.

d) Only aabb will be born without dimples and without long eyelashes so the couple has 25% chance to produce a child without dimples and without long eyelashes.

If you place a strong acid in water it will likely ionize. If you put the same acid in oil it will not. Why the difference?
denpristay [2]

Answer

An acid that breaks down completely and gives off many ions, or protons, is considered to be a strong acid. ex H₂SO₄

If you place strong acid into water it dissociate acid into H⁺ ions

Water is polar solvent(H⁺ and OH⁻), which has partial positive charge on one side and partial negative charge on the other side.

Strong acids readily dissociate in polar solvents to give H+ ions.

Where as Oil is a non polar solvent it has same charge all over so no dissociation of strong acid will take place.

Compare a bituminous roof membrane to a single ply roof membrane.
Digiron [165]

<span>Single-ply membranes are a assorted and promptly increasing group of sheet materials that are functional to the roof in a single layer. As equated to built-up membranes, they need less on-site labor, and they are usually more flexible and therefore less liable to to cracking and ripping. They are attached to the roof surface by any of several means.</span>

Len [333]

In photosynthesis, carbon dioxide, light energy, and water from the soil is used to create the plant's food, usually glucose. The waste product released is oxygen. I guess put oxygen for both boxes point out from  the leaves.

One characteristic that distinguishes a population in an extinction vortex from most other populations is that:________.
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

D - Its genetic diversity is very low

Explanation:

An extinction vortex can be defined as the process which populations in decline pass through to drive them into a vortex of smaller populations, endangering their survival as they tread the path to extinction.

Populations that fall to extinction vortex already have small populations which is usually as a result of certain powerful genetic factors, which cause the populations to continue to decline in size.

During genetic drift which occurs in all populations, small populations tend to lose genetic diversity as a result of the random nature of gamete sampling.

This is because any change in alleles in a small populations can have dastardly effects on the populations size due to a small gene pool.
