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.
E) One-half of their daughters will be color blind and have blue eyes; 1/2 their daughters will be color blind and have 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

how energy is recycled in an ecosystem. how our atmosphere maintains its temperature. the importance of decomposers in an ecosys
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

The flow of energy in ecosystems is unidirectional or one-way.

Explanation:

Energy is the ability to do work. Energy flows in one direction in an ecosystem and is not recycled. This is because during the transfer of energy from one level to another, energy is lost. Most of the energy received from the sun by producers, plants, is lost as heat to the surroundings. The rest energy is converted by plants to produce food in the form of chemical energy.

Primary consumers feed on plants and secondary consumers feed on the primary consumers and so on up to quaternary consumers. However, at each level of energy transfer, some energy is lost as heat during respiration, some as unused or undigested materials, while some others are used for each organisms metabolic activities. About 90% of energy in a trophic is used at that trophic level. Therefore, only about 10% as much energy is available to  organisms at each successive trophic level. Therefore, energy is not recycled in ecosystems.

Earth's atmosphere maintains its temperature by means of the earth's energy balance. This refers to how incoming from the sun and outgoing energy from the earth are in balance, thereby keeping earth's temperature constant.

Decomposers, are organisms such as bacteria, fungi, and small animals such as ants and worms that eat and decompose dead and waste organic matter and which recycle nutrients back into food chains making them available for plants use. Therefore, decomposers are an essential components of all ecosystems.
