Answer:

a. 1/4 chance of occurring

b. 81/256

c. 3/4

d.  0.26

Explanation:

X-linked recessive inheritance is a pattern of inheritance in which a mutation in a gene on the X chromosome causes the phenotype to always get expressed in males (they have one X and one Y chromosome with mutation on the X) and in females who are homozygous for the gene mutation (mutation on both X chromosomes).

Indicating the mutation with h and the normal allele with H.Thus, if a heterozygous woman (XHXh) and an unaffected man (XHY). we have:

                   (XHXh)             x             (XHY)

           XHXH     XHXh           XHY                 XhY

             normal female      normal male   affected male

                      0.5                     0.25                 0.25

                        1/2                     1/4                      1/4

a. 1/4

b. Each unaffected offspring has 3/4 chance of occuring: four unffected - 3/4 x 3/4 x 3/4 x 3/4 = 81/256

c. 1/2 + 1/4 = 3/4

d. The probability of an unaffected offspring is 3/4. Here, the binomial expansion equation (where x = 2, n = 5, p = 1/4, and q = 3/4). The answer is 0.26, or 26%, of the time. probability of affected is 1/4. Thus, using this

P(x) = (⁵₂) pˣ (1 - p)ⁿ⁻ˣ =

  =   (⁵₂) (1/4)² (3/4)³  =

  = 5!/3!2! (0.0625) (0.4219) =

  =     10 (0.026)

  =       0.26

Answer:

<h2>a) 1/4</h2><h2>b) 81/256</h2><h2>c) 3/4</h2><h2>d) 0.26</h2>

Explanation:

Given

Heterozygous female = X*X ( X* is mutated gene);

unaffected male= XY;

so children are  X*X, X*Y, XX, XY

now

a) affected son;  genotype (X*Y),  (1/4) 1 son is affected from 2 sons and from four  total children.

b)Four unaffected offspring in a row= 81/256

c) 3/4  (X*X, XX, XY) are unaffected children,

d)  The probability of an affected offspring is 0.25,  and here the probability of an unaffected offspring is 3/4.

now use the binomial expansion equation for this;

So, two out of five offspring that are affected= 0.26, or 26%.

One adaption to life in flowing water is what?
Alla [95]

Answer:

Explanation:

There are many options, here are a few choices:

Fast moving water tends to be colder than slow water; some of it originates as snow melt on the sides of mountains, for example. For this, animals in fast water tend to be more cold resistant. This is why you do not see fish like freshwater trout in equatorial regions. These animals struggle and die in slow, warm water.

Fast moving water means that if the animal or plant wants to stay put, it must resist the flow. Fish tend to be far more muscular and lean in these places, while insects like stoneflies, mayflies, and other larvae have ways to secure themselves to rocks and plants while growing. Plants develop strong root systems, and algae hold fast in rocky crevices in the river. Some animals also have suction in order to stay in place where there is fast flowing water.

Some animals have to adapt their reproductive systems as well. Because finding a mate is difficult in the sweeping waters, breeding tends to happen all at one time. As an example, salmon have runs, where thousands of fish all swim upriver at once to breed, can dramatically alter the surrounding ecology of the river. Insects like mayflies have hatches, where hundreds of thousands of flies swarm into the air at once to breed and lay eggs.

n200080 [17]

Answer: Staphylococcus aureus is a gram positive bacteria which is round shaped bacterium that is usually found in the body. They are located in the respiratory track of the body.

Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a yeast species which is used in the brewing, wine making and baking long time ago.

When both of the species were observed under microscope then Saccharomyces cerevisiae will be larger than Staphylococcus aureus.
