Six fingered offspring are formed from normal fingered parents . why?

Polydactyly in its most common form, is an autosomal dominant mutation. Let's represent the mutation as P and the normal state as +. Thus, if both parents are heterozygous (P+), both would have the mutation (and thus have six fingered). They have 3/4 chances of having a child with the extra digit, 1/4 normal.

From left to right, which is the sequence of the complementary strand of DNA in this molecule?

ladessa [460]

Answer: Option A) A-C-T-T-G

Explanation:

The base sequence on a strand of DNA is usually paired to specific complimentary bases. These specific pairings are as follows:

Adenine (A) pairs with Thymine (T)

Guanine (G) pairs with Cytosine (C). So when you find A replace with T, so also replace C with G and vice versa.

Thus, the complimentary sequence of the T-G-A-A-C DNA strand is A-C-T-T-G

When sediments move and settle somewhere, they are being deposited. When, over a long time, layers and layers of sediments get deposited on top of each other, the weight of the top layers presses down on the bottom layers, forming them into rock called sedimentary rock. The oldest layers are on the bottom, and the youngest layers are on the top. Because sediments sometimes include once-living organisms, sedimentary rock often contains a lot of fossils.
