A prosecuting attorney was given the forensic lab results from the blood-typing activity. She found that the crime-scene blood m

atched the blood type of one of the suspects’ blood. The prosecutor told the jurors that the crime-scene evidence blood matched the defendant’s blood type. She further stated that this evidence proved that the sus- pect was indeed the perpetrator of the crime.
You are the defendant’s attorney. How would you respond to the prosecutor’s argument that because the blood types matched, then the defendant is proven to be guilty of the crime?

Answer:

The blood type matching is a way too broad way to prosecute a suspect since there are about 8 universal blood groups in total. I would demand a DNA test.

A botanist has acquired a group of pea plants. All of the pea plants have yellow pea pods (the recessive form of this trait) exc
Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

Hetezygous

Explanation:

<em>The genotype of the initial green pod plant would be heterozygous.</em>

Let pea pod color be represented by C (c) alleles.

First, let us assume that the genotype of the green pea pod plant is homozygous dominant, CC. This was crossed with homozygous recessive, cc.

           CC   x   cc

      Cc   Cc   Cc   Cc

<u>All the progeny will have Cc genotype with phenotypically green color. </u><u>This is in contrast to the result obtained from the test cross in the illustration, hence the genotype of the initial green pea pod plant cannot be homozygous dominant.</u>

Now, let us assume that the genotype is Heterozygous, Cc.

       Cc   x   cc

 Cc   Cc   cc   cc

<u>50% of the progeny has Cc genotype with phenotypically green color while the remaining 50% has cc genotype with phenotypically yellow color. </u><u>This is consistent with the result from the illustration.</u>

Hence, the genotype of the initial green pea pod plant is heterozygous.

The arctic fox has 50 chromosomes (25 per set), and the common red fox has 38 chromosomes (19 per set). These species can interb
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

The organism is sterile because parts of the chromosomes in the zygote will only have a  single set of chromosomes rather than the ideal pair. The arctic fox will produce gamates with 25 chromosomes (a single set) while the red fox will produce gametes with 19 chromosomes (another set). These gametes are supposed to fuse and have their chromosomes paired. However notice that the offspring will have (25 – 19) six (6)  unpaired chromosomes. This means that during the formation of gametes in this hybrid offspring, there will be an issue in meiosis I which will result in nonviable gametes.

How do astronomers measure distances to stars?
a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

I found this online:

Astronomers estimate the distance of nearby objects in space by using a method called stellar parallax, or trigonometric parallax. Simply put, they measure a star's apparent movement against the background of more distant stars as Earth revolves around the sun.
