Answer:

The correct answer is c. insulate and protect the fetus.

Explanation:

The amniotic fluid is a clear or yellowish liquid that surrounds and protects the fetus as it grows during pregnancy. This liquid consists of 97% water and contains salts, minerals and other substances that help the fetus to mature, and it also provides a constant temperature. The functions of the amniotic fluid are varied, but its main task is to act as a protective barrier (protecting the fetus from external shocks) and provide the fetus with water and mineral salts. On the other hand, being a sterilized medium, it insulates the fetus from possible maternal infections.

Answer: C. insulate and protect the fetus

Explanation: Amniotic fluid is the fluid that surrounds and protects an embryo while it is growing in the uterus. It serves as a cushion for the growing fetus, but also serves to facilitate the exchange of nutrients, water, and biochemical products between mother and fetus. It also protects the developing baby by cushioning against blows to the mother's abdomen, allowing for easier fetal movement and promoting muscular/skeletal development.

A man who has male pattern baldness (X^bY) marries a woman who does not carry the allele (X^BX^B). What genotypic ratios would b
JulijaS [17]

Answer:

2X^BX^b:2X^BY

Explanation:

<em>The genotypic ratio of expected of their offspring would be 2</em>X^BX^b<em>:2</em>X^BY<em>.</em>

From the illustration, the genotype of the man with male pattern baldness is X^bY while the genotype of the woman without the baldness allele is X^BX^B.

Crossing the two genotypes in marriage:

                           X^bY   x   X^BX^B

Progeny: X^BX^b    X^BX^b    X^BY       X^BY

<em>Hence, the genotypic ratio of the offspring becomes:</em>

2X^BX^b:2X^BY
