A man who is heterozygous for tongue rolling and has a normal vision and a woman who cannot roll her tongue and is heterozygous

for colorblindness have a child. What is the probability that it will be able to roll his/her tongue and have normal vision? Tongue-rolling is due to a dominant allele. Color Blindness is caused by an X-linked recessive gene. ...?

RrXY(man) x rrXx(woman) 

<span>since the father is heterozygous for the character(rolling tongue) there is 50% chance that it will be passed onto the child. </span>
<span>considering color blindness </span>
<span>XY times Xx </span>
<span>
The off-springs will be </span>
<span>XX(normal) </span>
<span>Xx(normal) </span>
<span>XY(normal) </span>
<span>xY(colour blind) </span>
<span>
So chances of the child being normal is 75% </span>
<span>Hence,
Combining the possibilities </span>
<span>we get,
1/2 x 3/4 = 3/8</span>

The answer is 3/8

Let T be a dominant allele for tongue rolling and let t be a recessive allele.
Tongue-rolling is a dominant trait. That means that an individual with at least one dominant allele will have the trait:
TT - dominant homozygous individuals able to roll tongue
Tt - heterozygous individuals able to roll tongue
tt - recessive homozygous individuals able to roll tongue
A heterozygous man (Tt) and recessive homozygous female (tt) will have 2 of 4 children that are able to roll tongue (Tt). Take a look at the attached image: 2 of 4 children (marked yellow on the image) are able to roll tongue (Tt) and 2 of for children are not (tt).
The probability that a child will be able to roll his/her tongue is 2/4 = <span>1/2

</span>Now, let's see what happens with color blindness as an X-linked recessive trait. Let X_V be a dominant allele and X_v be a recessive allele. The genotypes will be as following:
X_VX_V - a female with normal vision
X_VX_v - a heterozygous female with normal vision
X_vX_v - a female with colorblindness
X_VY - a male with normal vision
X_vY - a male with colorblindness
Take look at the attached image. A man with normal vision (X_VY) and a woman heterozygous for colorblindness (X_VX_v) will have 3 of 4 children that have normal vision (marked yellow on the image) and 1 of 4 children with color blindness.
The probability that the child has normal vision is 3/4.

Now, we have two probabilities:
The probability that a child will be able to roll his/her tongue is 1/2.
The probability that the child has normal vision is 3/4.
Since we want both of these traits to occur together, we will just multiply their possibilities:
1/2 * 3/4 = 3/8

Is it a, b, c, d ???
OLga [1]

Answer:

I believe that it is D.

Explanation:

If ice caps are melting, and polar bears use the ice flows to get their food, then the polar bears can't use the ice to get food. so, the polar bears most likely are expanding their diets to adapt to their surroundings. So, polar bears are probably moving off the sea ice and eating other foods.

Two solutions will be prepared with the mixture of distilled water and stock solution of KMnO4 (10 mM). Give the correct volumes
Yanka [14]

Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

<em>Recall that the law of dilution states that the number of moles before dilution must be equal to the number of moles after dilution.</em>

Mathematically,

     molarity x number of moles before dilution = molarity x number of moles after dilution.

For solution A: final molarity = 3 mM, final volume = 2mL, initial molarity of KMnO4 = 10 mM

Applying the equation:

    10 x initial volume = 3 x 2

        initial volume = 6/10 = 0.6

<u>Hence, Tube A should be made with 0.6 mL of 10 mM KMnO4 stock and  1.4 mL of distilled water to give a solution of 2 mL 3 mM KMnO4.</u>

For solution B:final molarity = 8 mM, final volume = 2 mL, initial molarity = 10 mM

    10 x initial volume = 8 x 2

       initial volume = 16/10 = 1.6

<u>Hence, Tube B should be made with 1.6 mL of 10 mM KMnO4 stock and 0.4 mL of distilled water to give a solution of 2 mL 8mM KMnO4. </u>

You are doing lab work with a new species of beetle. You have isolated lines that breed true for either blue shells and long ant
aev [14]

Answer:

Due to the fact that when crossing the isolated lines, the F1 progeny expression resulted in all alleles having blue shells and long antennas,  the dominant <em>shell/color & length/antenna</em> combination is:

<em>"</em><em>Blue Shell & Long Antenna</em><em>"</em>
