Answer:

Genetics (DNA)

Explanation:

Your chromosomes contain the blueprint for your body – your genes. Almost every cell in the human body contains a copy of this blueprint, mostly stored inside a special sac within the cell called the nucleus.

<em>Chromosomes are long strands of a chemical substance called deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). </em>

Parents pass on traits or characteristics, such as eye color and blood type, to their children through their genes. Some health conditions and diseases can be passed on genetically too.

Each variation of a gene is called an allele (pronounced ‘AL-eel’). These two copies of the gene contained in your chromosomes influence the way your cells work.

The two alleles in a gene pair are inherited, one from each parent. Alleles interact with each other in different ways. These are called inheritance patterns. Examples of inheritance patterns include:

Marfan syndrome is a dominant trait. A cross between a homozygous dominant and a heterozygote would produce what phenotypic rati
umka2103 [35]

Answer:

The correct answer is- 4:0

Explanation:

Marfan syndrome is a genetic problem which affects the connective tissue in the body. The trait for this disease is autosomal dominant which means even one abnormal copy of this gene in the offspring or individual is sufficient to cause this syndrome.

Let S is the allele that is dominant for this syndrome and s is recessive. So if a cross between homozygous dominant(SS) and heterozygous individual (Ss) occurs than all the offspring would have this syndrome.  

                                   S      s

                              S  SS   Ss

                              S  SS   Ss

Therefore all 4 offspring would have at least one dominant allele which is sufficient to cause this syndrome. So the phenotype ratio would be 4:0.

How is a dicotyledonous leaf adapted for maximum sunlight and carbon dioxide for photosynthesis? 20 Points if ya help meh out lo
jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

They are adapted for photosynthesis by having a large surface area, and contain openings, called stomata to allow carbon dioxide into the leaf and oxygen out. Although these design features are good for photosynthesis, they can result in the leaf losing a lot of water. The cells inside the leaf have water on their surface. Some of this water evaporates, and the water vapour can then escape from inside the leaf.
