Answer:

Brown eyes = 0.5

Blue eyes = 0.5

Explanation:

Given, B ( brown eyes ) is dominant over b ( blue/light eyes ). So,

BB = Brown

Bb = Brown

bb = blue/light

Mr. O'Ryan = blue eyes = bb

Mrs. O'Ryan = heterozygous brown eyes = Bb

Their children: Bb X bb :

      B        b

b    Bb     bb

b    Bb     bb

Half of the children will have Bb genotype and brown eyes, other half will have bb genotype and blue eyes. Hence, Kellan O'Ryan has 0.5 probability of blue eyes and 0.5 probability of brown eyes.

All vertebrate embryos have _____ at some point during embryonic development, indicating a common evolutionary ancestor
aivan3 [116]

All chordates chare four structures. One of the is the tail. All vertebrate embryos have _<u>a tail</u>__ at some point during embryonic development, indicating a common evolutionary ancestor.

<h3>What is the relationship between chordates?</h3>

The evolutionary relationship between species is reflected in the similarities or differences in the patterns of embryonic development.

All chordates belong to the Chordata phylum, and share four main characteristics,

  1. Notochord, which is a precursor of the dorsal spine.
  2. Nerv cord, dorsally located and parallel to the notochord.
  3. Pharyngeal clefts
  4. Tail

All chordates express these structures at some point in their lives, especially in the early stages of embryogenesis. Many of them can be lost with animal development and become vestigial structures.

The tail is a vestigial structure in many vertebrates.

Vestigial structures are those body parts, genetically determined, that have been retained during the evolution of the taxonomic group but have lost or reduced their original function.

Such vestigial structures were plenty functional in the ancestors of new species, but now are typically degenerate, stunted, or rudimentary, and tend to be much more variable than homologous non-vestigial parts

All vertebrates develop a tail at some point in their embryonic life, even humans. However, this structure lost its original function in several species, so after a period of embryogenesis, this tail disappears, and its forming vertebras get fussed with each other composing the coccyx.

In many animals, the function of the tail is to stabilize, equilibrate and mobilize. But in humans, for instance, the coccyx has lost this function but is still an area of muscle insertion.

The correct option is Tail.

All vertebrate embryos have _<u>a </u><u>tail</u><u>_</u> at some point during embryonic development, indicating a common evolutionary ancestor.

Angiosperms are more advanced than gymnosperms because gymnosperms lack which structure found in angiosperms?
vlada-n [284]

Gymnosperms lack fruits so angiosperms are more advanced than them.

Compared to gymnosperms, flowering plants may thrive in a wider range of settings. Compared to gymnosperms, flowering plants mature more quickly and generate more seeds. Additionally, angiosperms have more complex and specialized woody tissues. Gymnosperms lack flowers and fruits and have unenclosed or coverless seeds on the surface of scales or leaves, in contrast to angiosperms, generally known as flowering plants, which have seeds that are contained within an ovary (typically a fruit).

Suppose a population is carrying a condition controlled by two alleles: R (dominant) and r (recessive). Only homozygous individu
White raven [17]

<span><u>The answer is A. 72.25 percent.</u>

The Hardy-Weinberg principle can be used:</span>

<em>p² + 2pq + q² = 1</em> and <em>p + q = 1</em>

where <em>p</em> and <em>q</em> are the frequencies of the alleles, and <em>p²</em>, <em>q²</em> and <em>2pq </em>are the frequencies of the genotypes.

<span>The <em>r</em> allele (<em>q</em>) is found in 15% of the population:
q = 15% = 15/100
Thus, q = </span><span>0.15

To calculate the <em>R</em> allele frequency (<em>p</em>), the formula p + q = 1 is used:
If p + q = 1, then p = 1 - q
p = 1 - 0.15
Thus, </span><span>p = 0.85

Knowing the frequency of the <em>R</em> allele (<em>p</em>), it is easy to determine the frequency of the RR genotype (p²):
p² = 0.85² = 0.7225

Expressed in percentage, p² = 72.25%.</span>
