Answer:
(a) 1/2; (b) no
Explanation:
Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency (G6PD) is an X-linked recessive disorder and the woman's father was diseased so it means that woman is a carrier of the allele but has normal phenotype. It means that she will have XXᵇ genotype.
In contrast to this, her husband is diseased so his genotype will be XᵇY.
The Punnett square diagram related to the cross is attached.
(a) Proportion of their sons expected to be G6PD is 1/2:
They both may give birth to 4 progeny with genotypes XXᵇ, XᵇXᵇ, XY and XᵇY. It means they both may have 2 sons out of which one with genotype XᵇY will be diseased while the one with genotype XY will be healthy. So the proportion of their sons having G6PD is 1/2 or 50%.
(b) If the husband were G6PD deficient, the answer will not change.
The reason behind this is that this disease is caused by an allele located in X chromosome. But father contributes only Y chromosome to his son not X chromosome. The X chromosome will affect the genotype of his daughter not son that is why answer will not change. It means they will still have 1/2 of their sons diseased.
Chara 27.3 light years
Tau Ceti 11.9 light years
Zeta Leporis 70.2 light years
Epsilon Reticuli 59.5 light years
The answer is Tau Ceti.
The bladder, the kidneys, the skin, the lungs, the liver, and the urethra.
Answer:
B. there were more double crossovers in the progeny than would be expected based on probability
Explanation:
Crossing over or recombination can be defined as the exchange of genetic material between homologous chromosomes during meiosis. Moreover, the coefficient of coincidence is the number of double recombinants found in the progeny. The coefficient of coincidence can be estimated by the following equation:
Coefficient of coincidence (COC) = ADRF / EDRF
where ADRF = Actual Double Recombinant Frequency
and EDRF = Expected Double Recombinant Frequency
In the case above described, ADFR is higher than EDRF, and therefore COC will be higher than 1.
The answer is C. Thermal energy is transferred to her face by radiation, and thermal energy is transferred to the bottoms of her feet by conduction.
Conduction is a method of transferring heat by using the collision of molecules and free electrons (depending on the material). Heat is usually transferred by conduction if both objects are in contact with each other that way the molecules can collide and spread the kinetic energy thus raising their internal heat. So, since the feet and the sand are in contact, so the heat should be transferred by conduction. However, air is a very poor heat conductor, it cannot transfer heat efficiently, therefore, the first answer is not conduction.
Radiation is a method of transferring heat too but using electromagnetic waves. It works great even in the air, or even with vacuum space. The sun shining from outer space to earth through the vacuum space is also by radiation. So, the first answer is radiation.
The answer is C, hope it helps!
