In humans, syndactyly (webbed digits) is inherited by possession of a dominant allele (S). If a man who is homozygous and normal
digits (55) marries a woman who is heterozygous for syndactul and has webbed diaits, what percentage of their children would be expected to have webbed digits?
Syndactyly or webbed digits are due to the presence of a dominant allele (S). Then the allele for normal digits would be represented by allele "s"
A normal man with normal digits and genotype "ss" marries a woman with webbed digits and has a hetrozygous genotype i.e "Ss"
If we cross Ss and ss , then the following offspring are produced -
Ss * ss
Ss, Ss, ss, ss
Out of four 2 offspring with genotype ss have normal digits and remaining two offspring with genotype "Ss" have webbed digits. Thus, the % of children with webbed digits is %
The average energy of motion of particles in a substance is its kinetic energy. Therefore, temperature is the measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles of a substance. The thermal energy of the substance is the total energy of the substance.
