Sickle cell anemia and albinism are both recessive traits in humans. The genes for these traits are located on different chromos

omes. Imagine that a couple, already pregnant with twins, has just learned that they are both heterozygous for both of these traits. As the couple's genetic counselor, the couple asks you the following questions about how their carrier status will affect their offspring.
If the couple has fraternal twins, what is the probability that both children will be unaffected by both conditions?

Answer:

Given that, both parents are heterozygous. Now, the chances for one child to inherit one defective gene from each parent = ½*1/2 =¼.

Similarly, the probability of being affected by albinism =Probability of inheriting one defective gene from each parent = ½*½ = ¼

The probability of not being affected = 1- the probability of being affected = 1-1/4 = ¾.

Now, the chances of not being affected by both albinism and sickle cell anemia = ¾*3/4 = 9/16.

The probability of neither twins be affected = 9/16*9/16 =81/256.

Which species will most likely survive if earth temperature increase?
joja [24]

It's for sure not A because having thick fur will only make you hotter, and thus you will suffer a heat stroke. It's not C because small ears would not be long enough to provide you with cooling. That one does not make sense. It could be D, but the species would need to have alot of muscles in order to be consistently flapping there ears for the constant hear. Answer is B because it is the most logic, and the fewer amount of fur, the less hotter you will be, especially if your fur provides insulation.

Answer is B. Species B because fur would provide insulation.

How do water and sunlight affect decomposers ?
Dovator [93]

Answer:

As the volume of available water increases, the rate of decomposition also increases. Many decomposers secrete enzymes onto decaying matter and then absorb any dissolved molecules and sunlight allows things to grow out of decomposers allowing faster decomposition from the plant absorbing the other nutrients from the things in the decomposer making the soil rich and fertile.
