Answer:
50%
Explanation:
This question involves a gene coding for eye color in humans. The allele for brown eyes (B) are dominant to blue eyes (b). This means that blue-eyed individual will possess genotype: bb.
According to this question, a blue-eyed man (bb) has children with a brown-eyed woman (B_) whose mother has blue eyes (bb). Since the mother of the brown-eyed woman has a blue eye, this means that the woman will be heterozygous for brown eye (Bb).
Hence, the parents in this question will cross as follows: blue eyed man (bb) × brown-eyed woman (Bb). The offspring/children will have the following genotypes (see attached punnet square); Bb, Bb, bb, bb.
Based on the question, 2/4 = 1/2 of the children will be heterozygous for the eye color trait. That is, ½ × 100 = 50%.
The inner planets (in order of distance from the sun, closest to furthest) are Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars.
Answer:
Lightyears
Explanation:
When dealing with very large interstellar distances, astronomers do not use the regular miles, kilometers, or meters we are used to. This is because they are just too small to be used as a metric when measuring such large distances. As a matter of fact, the earthly number system will quickly be exhausted when trying to measure some of these interstellar distances.
Instead, astronomers make use of Lightyears. Lightyears are defined by the distance traveled by an object moving at the speed of light if it was moving constantly at that speed for one year.
This can properly be used to estimate interstellar distances. since its value is very large. 1 lightyear = 9,461,000,000,000 Km
If we say that our closest star is 9 lightyears away, we are saying that it will take an object moving at the speed of light 9 years to travel from that star to our planet.
Answer:
"Lipids are an essential component of the cell membrane. The structure is typically made of a glycerol backbone, 2 fatty acid tails (hydrophobic), and a phosphate group (hydrophilic)."
