Each of two parents has the genotype blue/brown​, which consists of the pair of alleles that determine eye color​, and each pare

nt contributes one of those alleles to a child. Assume that if the child has at least one blue ​allele, that color will dominate and the​ child's eye color will be blue. a. List the different possible outcomes. Assume that these outcomes are equally likely. b. What is the probability that a child of these parents will have the brown/brown ​genotype? c. What is the probability that the child will have blue eye color​?

Answer:

See the answer below.

Explanation:

<em>Let the allele for eye color be represented by A. Blue is dominant over brown eye color, hence, blue allele would be A while brown eye allele would be a.</em>

Two parents have the genotype blue/brown which is equivalent to Aa.

                   Aa    x    Aa

    AA               2Aa                aa

 blue eyes     blue eyes         brown eyes

a. Different possible outcomes: AA blue eyes, Aa blue eyes, and aa brown eyes.

b. Probability of a child from the cross having brown/brown (aa) genotype = 1/4 or 25%

c. Probability that the child would have blue eye color = 3/4 or 75%

For a science fair project, two students decided to repeat the Hershey and Chase experiment, with modifications. They decided to
umka21 [38]

Answer is (E) : Amino acids (and thus proteins) also have nitrogen atoms; thus, the radioactivity would not distinguish between DNA and proteins.

Let me explain you why. Hershey and Chase conducted their experiment to show what is the genetic material that passes from one generation to another generation. Is it protein or DNA? For explaining this, they allowed the virus to grow in the presence of two different radio active elements.

In one set they grew viruses in the presence of P-32 radio-active element  

In another set they grew viruses in the presence of S-35 radio active element.

The reason why they choose these two radio-active element was, phosphorus is present in DNA but not in proteins and similarly sulphur is found in proteins but not DNA.

These viruses were allowed to infect bacteria and the later was observed to be radio-actively labelled with P-32 but not S-35. This clearly showed that DNA is the genetic material which was passed from virus to bacteria.  

Now if you choose Nitrogen for labeling, it won't help you in getting any conclusion since nitrogen is present in both proteins and DNA.

Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

Chick with in the egg depend for all its energy and food requirement on the egg yolk , therefore egg yolk is rich in fat, protein, and cholesterol.

Explanation:

Before the egg breaks and the chick comes out, few days nourishment for chicks is required. Hence, the egg yolk needs to be nutritious as new developing chick (with in the egg) rely for essential nutrients (required for growth) on the egg yolk. Chick require energy  from yolk, hence it is rich in fat (energy). It also needs to grow and develop, therefore egg yolk has lot of protein (building blocks). Lipid and cell with in the yolk help in formation of cell and strengthening of bones and feathers
