One of the genes that controls color vision is found on the X chromosome. The dominant allele results in normal color vision, an

d the recessive allele causes colorblindness. Ginny has normal color vision and is heterozygous, but Harry is colorblind. If Ginny and Harry have three children, what is the probability that at least one of them is a colorblind son?A. 0 B. 1/8 C. 9/64 D. 3/8 E. 27/64.

Answer:

1/4

Explanation:

The trait is X-linked and recessive. A male only need one recessive allele to be affected while a female needs 2 recessive alleles to be affected.

Let the color vision allele be C.

Ginny is heterozygous, her genotype will be X^C X^c

Harry is color blind, his genotype will be X^c Y

If Ginny and Harry mate, their offspring's genotype will be: X^C X^c, X^C Y, X^c X^c, X^c Y

X^C X^c is a heterozygous female with normal vision

X^C Y normal vision male

X^c X^c color blind female

X^c Y color blind male

Probability of having a color blind child = 1/2

Probability of having a son = 1/2

Probability of having a colorblind son = probability of having a colorblind child and probability of the child being a son

       = 1/2 x 1/2

               = 1/4

The probability of at least one of the children being a colorblind son is 1/4

To construct a mapping cross of linked genes, it is important that the genotypes of some of the gametes produced by the heterozy
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

False.

Explanation:

Linked genes are the genes that are present on the same chromosome and can undergo the process the recombination. The recombinant progeny are obtained by the crossing of the linked genes.

The recombinant frequency and map distance can be deduced by the mapping of the linked genes. The genotype of the heterozygote cannot be deduced by examining phenotype and sometimes the recombinant progeny is completely different from the parents as well as from the heterozygotes.

Thus, the correct answer is false.

4. Use your knowledge about the relationship between nutrients and photosynthesis to explain the trends you observed in the data
Step2247 [10]

Answer:

The trends go up in the presence of nutrients.

Explanation:

There is a great relationship between nutrients and photosynthesis because photosynthesis can't occur without without the availability of nutrients. Plants uses carbon from the atmosphere which is a nutrient whereas other nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium etc from the soil with the help of the roots. If these nutrients are available in the surrounding, the plant produced more food during photosynthesis because these nutrients are the food of plants so the trends go up in the presence of nutrients and lowers down in the absence or lower concentration of nutrients.

List four ways the biomass eaten by an animal can be used.<br> Will mark brainliest….
bixtya [17]

Answer:1

1. It can be use as source of energy and fuel.

2. It can be use to build body tissues and bones.

3. To fight pathogens or fight infections.

4. It can be use for bones development.

Explanation:

Biomass are Renewable source of organic matter that can be use for energy. These includes wood, seaweeds, crops and animal wastes. Biomass get it's source of energy from sunlight. All biomass contained stored energy from sun which is gotten from the process of photosynthesis where green plants uses carbondioxide and water with light energy to produce sugars. Animals get their energy from consuming sugars.

Biomass eaten by animals can be use in four ways.

. It can be use as source of energy and fuel.

2. It can be use to build body tissues and bones.

3. To fight pathogens or fight infections.

4. It can be use for bones development.
