Achondroplastic dwarfism is a dominant genetic trait that causes severe malformation of the skeleton. Homozygotes for this condi

tion are spontaneously aborted (hence, the homozygous condition is lethal) but heterozygotes will develop to be dwarfed. Matthew has a family history of the condition, although he does not express the trait. Jane is an achondroplastic dwarf. Matthew and Jane are planning a family of several children and want to know the chances of producing a child with achondroplastic dwarfism. The genotypes of Matthew and Jane are best represented as _____.

Answer:

Jane: Aa

Matthew: aa

Explanation:

Jane is a heterozygous woman, which means that she is dominant for this genetic trait while Matthew is homozygous that did not inherit the achondroplastic dwarfism trait from his parents, that is why he is alive.

If we draw a Punnett square, we can see that some of their children will inherit the trait while others will not.

If the dna of a certain organism has guanine as 30% of its bases, then what percentage of its bases are adenine?
serious [3.7K]
G always pairs with C...So, if there is 30% G, then there's 30% C...which is 60%...that leaves 40% A+T - and you have to split this up too - so 20% Thymine (T) and 20% Adenine (A).

In the reaction ______ H2 + N2 ----&gt; 2 NH3, what coefficient should be placed in front of H2 to balance the reaction?
schepotkina [342]

2NH3 is equivalent to N2 + H6 since the 2 at the beginning gets distributed to both atoms. Knowing this you can rewite the equation as

H2 + N2 = H6 + N2

The N2 can cancel out leaving

H2 = H6

You now have to ask ‘2 times what equals 6?’ The answer is obviously 3 at this point.


Answer: C. 3
