A man who is an achondroplastic dwarf with normal vision marries a color-blind woman of normal height. The man's father was six

feet tall, and both the woman's parents were of average height. Achondroplastic dwarfism is autosomal dominant, and red-green color blindness is X-linked recessive. They have a daughter who is a dwarf with normal color vision. What is the probability that she is heterozygous for both genes?

Answer:

1/4.

Explanation:

The autosomal dominant trait means that the trait is visible in homozygous dominant and in heterozygous condition. The X linked recessive trait will be pass down from mothers to their sons and daughters will show the trait in homozygous recessive condition only.

The man is achandroplastic dwarf ( Aa) with normal vision (XY ) is married with woman that has normal height (aa) with color blind (XhXh). They have a daughter who is dwarf ( Aa). The probability of being dwarf can be calculated by the cross Aa × aa. The offspring are Aa, Aa, aa, aa. Means 1/2 are the probability of being hetterozygous for achondroplastic . The vision probability is calculated by cross XY and XhXHh. The probability that female is heterozygous is 1/2.

So, the heterozygous probability for both trait is 1/2× 1/2 = 1/4.

Daniel [21]

Answer:

Urban heat

Explanation:

Urban heat is a terminology generally used to describe the higher temperature with in the cities as compared to the surrounding woods.

Jessica moved to industrial area which has large industries that continuously release heat and pollution in the environment. Due to this the environment in and around the industrial area is much warmer as compared to the outskirts of the cities (with mountains).

Also the cities have offices & residential apartments, traffic and automobiles that continuously release heat and pollution thereby further enhancing the temperature of cities.
