The answer is A. They do not sweep food. They are used for transportation
I believe it would be 46 chromosomes.
Please let me know if this is correct
This study lacks generalizability.
Generalizability is an academic term and describes the process of extending research findings and observations from a study on a sample population to a larger and more diverse population. The larger the sample population, the easier will be to generalize the results to the wider population. In this example, Dr Kirch used a sampling technique called convenience sampling, which involves the selection of the most available and proximate subjects. However, there is sampling bias since the sampling population is not representative of the entire population and therefore the study can not speak for the entire population.
Options for the question have not been given. They are as follows:
A) 1/8
B) 3/4
C) 1/16
D) 1/2
Answer:
D) 1/2
Explanation:
Let the allele for extra digits be represented by D. Since it is a dominant trait, DD and Dd will result in extra digits whereas dd will result in normal number of digits. The woman has normal number of digits so she has dd genotype. The man has extra digits so he can be either DD or Dd.
The couple's first child has normal number of digits so she has dd genotype. She has obtained one d allele from her mother and another d allele from her father. Hence, the man's genotype is Dd.
Man = Dd
Woman = dd
Their children :
D d
d Dd dd
d Dd dd
Half of the progeny will have Dd genotype and will have extra digits. Other half will have dd genotype and will have normal number of digits. So, the probability of their next child to have extra digits is 1/2.
