Answer:

<em> a) There is a 25% chance that their next child will be Rh-.</em>

<em>b) There is a 3/8  chance for a Rh+ girl</em>

Explanation:

As we know from the question that Rh is a dominant gene. A person having only one allele for the gene will show its effect as it is the dominant character.

This means that for a person to lack the Rh factor, it shall not have any allele with the Rh factor.

To illustrate the result, lets draw a punnet square:

            Rh+         Rh-

Rh+    Rh+/Rh+   Rh+/Rh-

Rh-     Rh+/Rh-    Rh-/Rh-

For the probability for it to be a girl, we know that there are 50-50 chances for the next baby to be a boy or a girl. The chance of being Rh+ are 75% for the next baby.

Hence,

3/4 multiplied by 1/2 is 3/8 ,which is the chance for the next baby to be a girl with Rh+ factor.

What is the function of helicase in dna replication? see concept 16.2 (page 322)?
Salsk061 [2.6K]
The function of Helicase in the process of DNA replication is to untwist the double helix and separating the two DNA strands. This action of helicase creates the replication forks and replication bubbles where the process of replication is initiated. Their main role is the separation of double-stranded DNA into single strands allowing each strand to be copied during the process of replication. It may also function in other cellular processes where the double-stranded DNA must be separated, including transcription and repair. <span />

What term is used to describe organisms composed of identical and unspecialized cells?
Sedaia [141]

Answer:

Embryo cell or totipotent cell

Explanation:

All organisms during their embryonic stage also known as totipotent cells are composed of cells that are identical in structure and function. These cells can differentiate at a later stage and have the potential to become any cell i.e heart cell, eye cell etc. Embryo is thus just a mass of unspecialized cell which undergo differentiation to then convert into pluripotent and form tissues and hence the organ.
