In humans, the trait for tongue rolling is dominant over the trait for the inability of a human to roll his/her tongue. If a het

Answer: 50% of offspring can roll their tongues

Explanation:

Since tongue rolling is a dominant trait, if the father is heterozygous for it, his genotypes could be Tt, since he has a the dominant allele for tongue rolling, this means he can roll his tongue

Since the mother is homozygous recessive, this means she cannot roll her tongue, her genotype is tt

If you do a punnet square and you cross the mom and dad, the offspring will have the following genotypes:

Tt, tt, Tt, tt

50% of the offspring will be heterozygous for tongue rolling, which means they will be able to roll their tongues as they have the dominant allele.

While the other 50% will not have the tongue rolling trait because they will be homozygous recessive and not have the dominant allele

50% will be heterozygous dominant, 50% will be homozygous recessive. This was according to a traditional Punnett square.

SIZIF [17.4K]
Animal cells have plasma membrane while plant cells have cell wall and cell membrane. A plant cell has 1 large vacuole while an animal cell has more than 1 vacuole which is smaller compared to the vacuoles of a plant cell. The vacuole of a plant cell is hypertonic because it takes up to 90% of the cells volume. A plant cell has chlorophyll or chloroplasts (which gives colors to plants), animal cells does not have chloroplasts. Cell division is also called mitosis (this term is used for both animal and plant cells, no difference on that). For plant cells, centrifugal division occurs, its starts in the middle going outwards creating the cell plate. For animal cells, division is centripetal that it comes from the outside going toward the center and that is called the cleavage furrow.

Scientific thinking: how can scientists assess the health risks of trans fats
Klio2033 [76]
Scientists can access the risks of trans fats by conducting an appropriate experiment which will show the effects of the fats on the human system.
This can be done by feeding known quantity of trans fats to rats over a specific period of time. During the period, the change in the rat weights will be measured on the daily basis and every other changes that is noted in the rats will be noted down. A control group of rats will be included in the experiment; these rats will be given normal rat feeds and not trans fats.
 When the period of feeding is completed, the rats will be killed, all the organs in the rats such as liver, blood, brains, kidney, etc will be harvested and these organs will then be biochemically analysed in order to compare the changes in them with that of a normal rats.
Rats are usually used in biochemical research because their systems and that of human is comparable. Any negative effect of trans fats that is noted in the rats will also hold true for human beings.

15 points!!<br> What does it mean when we say that water molecules break apart?
Mama L [17]

In the case of water, hydrogen bonds form between neighboring hydrogen and oxygen atoms of adjacent water molecules. ... However, because hydrogen bonds are weaker than covalent bonds, in liquid water they form, break, and reform easily. Thus, the exact number of hydrogen bonds formed per molecule varies.
