Answer:

<h2> (1/4 * 60) </h2><h2>The probability. that child will have extra fingers and toes are = 0.15 </h2>

Explanation:

As given; extra fingers and toes are caused by a recessive trait.

Penetrance= 60%.

Parents are heterozygous, assume  Ff and Ff

F is dominant over f, and ff are homozygous recessive.

Ff crossed with Ff

Progeny are; FF, Ff, Ff and ff.

ff are homozygous recessive, as given that extra fingers and toes are caused by a recessive trait, so 1/4 will show the trait.

But according to 60% penetrance the trait will occur in = (1/4 * 60) =15% or 0.15 progeny will show the trait .

The probability, that child will have extra fingers and toes are = 0.15

Amiraneli [1.4K]

ANSWER:

(A) project be stopped to protect the ivory-billed woodpecker and all the other species of plants and animals.

EXPLANATION:

Option A (project be stopped to protect the ivory-billed woodpecker and all the other species of plants and animals) is most appropriate for a biocentric species egalitarian, because it provides equal rights and support for all forms of life without being baised on favoring sentient animals (animals who can feel and can be emotional).

NOTE: Species egalitarianism is the philosophic view that all living things have the same moral right and support and all forms of life have intrinsic value.
