Answer:

Father’s phenotype non roller Father’s genotype rr

Mother’s phenotype roller Mother’s genotype Rr

Probability of this couple having a child who is a tongue roller : 1/2

Explanation:

Given that allele for rolling (R) is dominant over allele for non rolling (r).

Since father is a non roller his genotype would be rr

Mother is a heterozygous tongue roller so her genotype would be Rr

Their progeny:

Rr  X   rr  :

   R     r

r  Rr   rr

r  Rr   rr

Half of the offspring have Rr genotype which will make them tongue roller so probability of this couple having a child who is a tongue roller is 1/2.

Which ion most readily leaks across a neuron's membrane, helping to establish the resting potential? Which ion most readily leak
EastWind [94]

Answer:

K+

Explanation:

Leak channels are the gated channels that randomly open and close. The plasma membranes have many more potassium ion (K+) leak channels than the leak channels for other ions such as sodium ion. Also, the potassium ion leak channels are leakier than the sodium leak channels and allow exit of more and more K+ from the neurons. This makes the inside the neuron negative at rest and outside becomes more positive. In this way, the leakage of K+ across the K+ leak channels is mainly responsible for maintaining the resting potential.

Why can two igneous rocks have the same minerals but different names?
snow_lady [41]

Answer:

The rocks may have different textures

Explanation:

If we have to igneous rocks, and they have the same minerals, that doesn't necessarily means that they will have the same name, thus being classified as the same rock. The reason for this is that the two igneous rocks may have a different texture. One of the rocks may have a foliated, while the other may have porphyritic, giving them different appearance despite the same minerals being in both of them. The reason why two igneous rocks with the same minerlas may appear different, is the process in which they have been formed, the quickness of the cooling, the temperature that they were exposed to, and the pressure they were exposed to.
