Ben Affleck has a cleft chin, but his ex-wife Jennifer Garner does not. Neither one of their two daughters (Violet and Seraphina

) has a cleft chin, but son Samuel does. Draw a pedigree for the Garner/Affleck family including the genotypes for all five individuals. Use your pedigree to answer the question: What are the genotypes of Ben, Jen, Violet, Seraphina, and Samuel?

Answer:

Ben - Y Xc

Jen - XCXC

Violet - XCXc

Seraphina - XCXc

Samuel- Y Xc

Explanation:

Given -

Ben has a cleft chin

Let the allele for cleft chin be "c"

and the allele for normal chin be "C"

When Ben with cleft chin mates with wife Jennifer Garner having normal chin, then the two girl child do not have cleft chin but the boy has cleft chin.

This means that the allele C could be X -linked and the mother is not the carrier but the father is

The genotype of father Ben would be Y Xc

Genotype of mother would be XCXC

Genotype of two daughters XCXc  , XCXc which means they are carrier for the next generation

Genotype of Boy - Y Xc

Aliun [14]

Mutations can be categorized based on the kind of effect they have on an organism. Blue eyes in humans are a result of a mutation in the OCA2 gene, which controls the production of pigment melanin in the iris.

This mutation is an example of a neutral mutation. Such mutations have no effect on an organism’s survival.

Water flows through a selectively permeable membrane in a process called __________, but water molecules cross the membrane more
coldgirl [10]

Answer:

Osmosis

Aquaporins

Explanation:

This is because osmosis is the movement of solutes from a region of lower concentration to a region of higher concentration through a permeable membrane.

Aquaporins are lipid bilayer and water pores that serve as channels of transmembrane proteins that allow water to cross the membrane very fast, and they play vital roles red blood cells, plant cells and kidney which help to reduce water lose.

Populations evolve for many reasons. Suppose there is a population of plants that have either purple flowers or white flowers, a
inna [77]

I will answer the question accordingly so that it help you under stand it better.

Question A.

During an extreme heat wave, plants with white flowers survive better.

What mechanism is in work here?

Answer: Mechanism of Natural Selection will work here. This is called survival of the fittest which means the best color which fits in harsh conditions will dominate over others and will survive for longer time.

What is the effect on the gene pool?

Answer: The Frequency of white allele will increases because white color is the best fit to extreme heat wave.

Question B.

A person uproots the five closest plants, which all happen to have white flowers.

What mechanism is in work here?

Answer: The mechanism of gene flow will work here as color of flower represents genotype of flower.

What is the effect on the gene pool?

Answer: The Frequency of white allele will increases because genotype of white flowers is increased.

Part of the brain oversees the postural muscles and control balance and equilibrium?
Brrunno [24]

In brain, cerebellum controls the postural muscles and balance the equilibrium. By operating on the cerebral cortex via the thalamocortical projection and on the brainstem, the cerebellum regulates the cognitive and automatic processes of posture-gait regulation.

Both real-time sensory feedback via the spinocerebellar tract to the cerebellum and feedforward information from the cerebral cortex via the cortico-ponto-cerebellar pathway may play significant roles in these processes.

The cerebellum's ability to govern posture is mostly dependent on sensory afferents. Along with the vestibular nuclei, the floccules and vermis of the cerebellum also receive signals from the labyrinth via the vestibular nerve. Spinocerebellar pathways convey peripheral sensory data and a copy of the spinal cord's output to the fastigial nuclei (FN).
