Answer: The genotype ratio of their children is 2Ff : 2 ff

The phenotype ratio is 2 polydactyl individuals : 2 normal individuals.

Explanation: Let F represent the gene for extra finger while f represent the gene for normal finger. From the information provided, F is dominant while f is recessive. A heterozygous parent will have a genotype of Ff while a normal parent will have a genotype of ff. A cross between them will produce 2 Ff and 2 ff. Ff will manifest phenotypically as polydactyl because F is a dominant allele while ff will manifest phenotypically as normal fingers because f is recessive. For a recessive allele to express itself outwardly, it must occur in a homozygous state. Ff is heterozygous polydactyl.

The Earth is about 4.6 billion years old. However, the oldest sea floor is only about 180 million years old. What do you think i

natita [175]

Answer:

The seafloor is only 180 million years old due to the process of subduction. The floor of the sea's tends to get colder and denser with the passage of time. At a certain time, the seafloor becomes so dense that it sinks in the upper mantle. The Earth's crust cannot undergo this process and hence has oldest rocks. We can say that the seafloor is less than 180 million years old because it is typically recycled back into the mantle of the Earth.

Name the two different types of translatory motion and explain each in brief

garik1379 [7]

Translatory motion can be of two types: rectilinear and curvilinear. If a body moves as a whole such that every part of the body moves through the same distance in a given time, then the body is said to be in translatory motion.
