Answer:

A Jewish couple is about to be married but they both worry about their family history. The man's uncle and the women's aunt died of Tay Sachs disease. Infer why the couple is hiring a genetic counselor analyze their families pedigree.

Reasons are not far-fetched, both intended couple might carry a dominant gene for Tay Sachs disease or one of them has a dominant gene for such, it is pertinent a genetic counselor analyze their family pedegree in order to avoid having such disease or passing it to their offspring.

The chances of either of the intended couple to carry such dominant gene of the disease is imminent.

Dodder is a parasitic plant, which has roots for support and absorption of nutrients from the host plant. what kind of roots are
devlian [24]
Dodder is a parasitic plant which has A. HAUSTORIAL ROOTS for support and absoption of nutrients from the host plant.

Dodder can not live alone. It grows from a seed and sprout from the ground but if it does not find a host within 10 days, it will die.

When the Dodder finds its host, it twines itself in a counter-clockwise direction around the stem of its host. The Dodder stem has bumps called "haustoria". These bumps are tightly pressed against the stem of the host plant and said bumps will eventually push their way inside the hosts' stem to pull the nutrients it needs to survive to the detriment of the host plant.

Dodder plant may be parasitic but it does not kill its own host instead it causes the growth of the host to be stunted.

A woman with type A blood (whose father was type O) has children with a man that has type O blood. Both individuals are heterozy
Fantom [35]

Answer:

Explanation:

A woman with type A blood (whose father was type O) meaning her genotype is AO mates with

Man that has type O blood (OO genotype)

Both are heterozygous for MN blood group and both also heterozygous for the FUT1 gene controlling the synthesis of the H substance (Hh)- which determines the expression of the A and B antigen.

Cross

A O M N H h

O AO OO M MM MN H HH Hh

O AO OO N MN NN h Hh hh

Type A- 1/2 O-1/2 type M- 1/4 MN-1/2 N- 1/4, type H- 3/4 h-1/4

Type A with M antigen:

1/2*1/4*3/4 = 3/32

Type A with M and N antigens:

1/2*1/2*3/4 = 3/16

Type A with N antigen:

1/2*1/4*3/4 = 3/32

Type O with M antigen:

1/2*1/4*3/4= 3/32

Type O with M and N antigens:

1/2*1/2*3/4 = 3/16

Type O with N antigen:

1/2*1/4*3/4 = 3/32.

The 3/4 value comes from the expression of Hh-3/4 (this determines if the A and B Angie will be expressed).
