Suppose that extra fingers and toes are caused by a recessive trait, but it appears in only 60% of homozygous recessive individu

als. Two heterozygotes conceive a child. What is the probability that this child will have extra fingers and toes?
I know the answer might be .15 I just do not know how to calculate can you please show on how to solve it!

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

Explain Mercury is the planet closest to the Sun. Why does it get so cold at night?
alexdok [17]

Answer/Explanation: On Mercury temperatures can get as hot as 430 degrees Celsius during the day and as cold as -180 degrees Celsius at night.

Mercury is the planet in our solar system that sits closest to the sun. The distance between Mercury and the sun ranges from 46 million kilometers to 69.8 million kilometers. The earth sits at a comfy 150 million kilometers. This is one reason why it gets so hot on Mercury during the day.

The other reason is that Mercury has a very thin and unstable atmosphere. At a size about a third of the earth and with a mass (what we on earth see as ‘weight’) that is 0.05 times as much as the earth, Mercury just doesn’t have the gravity to keep gases trapped around it, creating an atmosphere. Due to the high temperature, solar winds, and the low gravity (about a third of earth’s gravity), gases keep escaping the planet, quite literally just blowing away.

Atmospheres can trap heat, that’s why it can still be nice and warm at night here on earth.

Mercury’s atmosphere is too thin, unstable and close to the sun to make any notable difference in the temperature.

Space is cold. Space is very cold. So cold in fact, that it can almost reach absolute zero, the point where molecules stop moving (and they always move). In space, the coldest temperature you can get is 2.7 Kelvin, about -270 degrees Celsius.

Sunlight reflected from other planets and moons, gases that move through space, the very thin atmosphere and the surface of Mercury itself are the main reasons that temperatures on Mercury don’t get lower than about -180 °C at night.
