Examples of surface tension

Water striders use the high surface tension of water and long, hydrophobic legs to help them stay above water. ... Walking on water: Small insects such as the water strider can walk on water because their weight is not enough to penetrate the surface.

Definition of surface tension : the attractive force exerted upon the surface molecules of a liquid by the molecules beneath that tends to draw the surface molecules into the bulk of the liquid and makes the liquid assume the shape having the least surface area.

Hope this helped :)

both parents are heterozygous for the Huntington's allele. what is the chance that their child will not have Huntington's diseas
iris [78.8K]

Answer:

25% or 1/4

Explanation:

The cross in this question involves a gene coding for the possession or not of Huntington's disease in humans. The dominant allele is denoted by (H) while the recessive allele is denoted by (h). The possession of the dominant allele by an individual means the possession of the Huntington's disease.

In a cross between two heterozygous parents i.e. combination of both dominant and recessive alleles (Hh). Four possible offsprings will be produced with genotypes HH, Hh, Hh and hh.

The genotypes HH, Hh and Hh will phenotypically possess the Huntington's disease while the hh genotype will not possess the Huntington's disease. Hence, the chance of having a child without the disease is 1/4 or 25%.
