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.

Three cells each contain a 98% water wash were soaked in different solutions cell number one is so funny solution containing 100
stepladder [879]

Answer: Cell number one is an hypotonic solution, cell number two is an isotonic solution, and cell three is an hypertonic solution.

Explanation:

Cell number one which is a 98% water content is added the 100% water solution, water moves from low to high concentration. Therefore, the water moves from the solution into the cell, which is hypotonic.

Cell number two which is a 98% water content added with a 98% water solution. These two solutions are equal to one another, so the water does not move. This is isotonic.

Cell number three which is a 98% water content added with a 80% water solution. Water moves from high to low concentrations, so water moves from the cell to the solution. The water leaves the cell, which is an hypertonic.

How the combination of electrons, protons ans neutrons results in the neutral charge of an atom?
balandron [24]
Hi :D
Neutrons are neutral so they have no charge. Electrons have a negative charge and protons have a positive charge.
For an atom's charge to be neutral there has to be an even amount of protons and electrons in the atom.

Explanation:

Grams staining i a staining method used to classify bacteria into two main classes. Gram positive and Gram negative.

They are differentiated according to the ability of their cell wall to retain the primary stain color of the crystal violet stain or the counter stain pink.

Bacillus subtilis is a Gram positive bacteria hence it is supposed to stain purple.

Therefore, when it stained pink is an error. it shows loss of the cell wall integrity due to old age, overdecolorization or over fixing with heat.
