Suppose that in humans the ability to roll the tongue (R) is dominant to being unable to roll it (r), and having freckles (F) is

dominant to having no freckles (f). If a woman heterozygous for both traits married a man with no freckles who couldn't roll his tongue, what is the probability that they would have a freckled, tongue-rolling child?

Answer:

1/4

Explanation:

A heterozygous woman for both traits (RrFf) marries with a man with no freckles (ff) who can't roll his tongue (rr).

The cross is: RrFf X rrff.

The woman can produce the gametes <em>RF, Rf, rF </em>and <em>rf</em>

The man can only produce <em>rf </em>gametes.

<u>The possible offspring that can arise from the combination of those gametes is:</u>

  • 1/4 RrFf Freckled, tongue-rolling
  • 1/4 Rrff Freckled, unable to roll tongue
  • 1/4 rrFf Not freckled, tongue-rolling
  • 1/4 rrff Not freckled, unable to roll tongue

Which type of change would be more likely to have se­vere consequences—substitution or deletion? Why?
ludmilkaskok [199]

While both will equate changes in a genetic chain, deletion would have more severe consequences.  A substitution mutation usually only causes minor disorders and diseases, like sickle cell anemia.  Whereas deletion causes much more serious diseases, like cystic fibrosis, and turner syndrome which is  where a female is born with only one X chromosome.

Which statement best defines a protist?
Helga [31]
Protists obtain food in 3 ways. They produce their own organic molecules, ingest, and absorb.  Ingestive protists ingest food, or engulf bacteria. These protists extend their cell wall and cell membrane forming a food vacuole around the food item. Inside the food vacuole, enzymes digest the food. Absorptive protists on the other hand, absorb food molecules  across their cell membrane which takes place through diffusion. Absorptive protists play a key role in decomposition. They are considered as important decomposers. Major producers  like photosynthetic protists  use light energy to manufacture  their own food.<span>
