In humans, blue eyes are inherited as a recessive autosomal trait and color blindness is an X-linked recessive trait. A woman wi

th blue eyes and normal color vision whose father was color-blind marries a man who also has normal color vision. He has brown eyes but his mother had blue eyes. Which of the following would you expect to be TRUE for their daughters?A) One-half of their daughters will have normal color vision and brown eyes; 1/2 of their daughters will have normal color vision and blue eyes.
B) Their daughters will all have normal color vision and have blue eyes.
C)Their daughters will all have normal color vision and brown eyes.
D) One-fourth of their daughters will be color blind and have blue eyes, 1/4 of their daughters will be Color blind and have brown eyes, 1/4 of their daughters will have normal color vision and blue eyes, 1/4 of their daughters will have normal color vision and brown eyes.

Answer:

A) One-half of their daughters will have normal color vision and brown eyes; 1/2 of their daughters will have normal color vision and blue eyes.

Explanation:

<u>The genotypes and phenotypes are</u>:

  • BB or Bb= brown eyes
  • bb= blue eyes
  • XᴰXᴰ, XᴰXᵈ (women) or XᴰY (men)= normal vision
  • XᵈXᵈ (women) or XᵈY (men) = color blind

A woman has blue eyes (bb) and normal color vision (she has an Xᴰ chromosome) but her father was color-blind, so the other X chromosome she has carries the recessive d allele. She has the genotype bb XᴰXᵈ.

The man has normal color vision (he is XᴰY) and has brown eyes, but his mother had blue eyes so he must have inherited a b allele from her and is therefore heterozygous Bb. His genotype is BbXᴰY.

The blue/brown eyes gene is autosomal and independent from the sex-linked color blindness gene.

The woman can produce the gametes b Xᴰ and b Xᵈ.

The man can produce the gametes B Xᴰ, b Xᴰ, B Y and bY.

<u />

<u>The female daughters can have the following genotypes and phenotypes:</u>

  • Bb XᴰXᴰ brown eyes, normal color vision
  • Bb XᴰXᵈ brown eyes, normal color vision
  • bb Xᴰ Xᴰ blue eyes, normal color vision
  • bb Xᴰ Xᵈ blue eyes, normal color vision

Which factor does not help determine whether a volcanic eruption will be explosive or relatively quiet?
Zinaida [17]
The factor that does not help determine whether a volcanic eruption will be explosive or relatively quiet is the composition of the lava.
On the other hand, the composition of the magma, the temperature of the magma, and the amount of dissolved gases in the magma are quite important for determining this.

Describe how greenhouse gases contribute to climate change
vladimir1956 [14]
Greenhouse gases arise naturally, and are part of the make-up of our atmosphere. Earths conditions are just right to allow life, including us, to flourish. Part of what makes Earth so amenable is the naturally-arising greenhouse effect, which keeps the planet at a friendly 15 °C (59 °F) on average. But in the last century or so, humans have been interfering with the energy balance of the planet, mainly through the burning of fossil fuels that give off additional carbon dioxide into the air. The level of carbon dioxide in Earth’s atmosphere has been rising consistently for decades and traps extra heat near the surface of the Earth, causing temperatures to rise.
