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.

What were Louis Pasteur's experiments related to spontaneous generation?
Tamiku [17]
Spontaneous generation was a (refuted) theory that some forms of life can arise from inorganic matter. 

Louis Pasteur refuted it in a series of experiments, in which he boiled different matter (grape juice, broth) which would kill all the bacteria and let it stay for a long time to see if it would develop life (he also had a control condition in which he let the boiled liquid interact with the outside words, and those would develop bacterial life).

Microbes that thrive in acidic environments seem to have "cost free" ATP energy available to them due to the pre-existing H grad
bixtya [17]

Answer:

The microbes thriving in acidic environments are termed as acidophiles, and these range from eukaryotes to bacteria and archaea, which are mainly found in diverse acidic surroundings like sulfuric geysers and pools, in the human stomach, and in the regions that get polluted by acid mine drainage.  

The mentioned case is not entirely correct as the protons found in the acidic surroundings are not utilized for the generation of ATP as they are not originating from within the cell. In order to sustain their internal acidic pH, the acidophiles exhibit adaptations like the presence of the negatively charged proteins on the surfaces of their membranes so that they can prevent deterioration due to acidic surroundings.

Many cows are given antibiotics as part of their regular diet. It has been determined that these antibiotics can be detected in
Kipish [7]

Answer:

When providing antibiotics to cows, it provides unspecified chemicals that can range to many different issues. These chemicals can both affect the cow and its produce. Asserting the fact into yogurt, this antibiotic(dependant on its chemical) can affect the product within both positive and negative ways. If the chemical is positive, it can increase mass,taste and even quality. If it is negative, it can create a bad taste,bad quality and even transmit diseases!
