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.

How can karyotype analysis explain genetic disorders lab 15 2 answers?
damaskus [11]

A karyotype is a picture in which the chromosomes of a cell have been stained so that the banding patterns of the chromosomes appear. This way it is possible to view abnormalities in the chromosomes. Disorders such as aneuploidy can be diagnosed by karyotype. It can also help identify local abnormalities on chromosomes such as abnormalities in chromosome length,  and location of the centromere.

What would most likely happen to a unicellular organism if it was exposed to a hypotonic solution for an extended period of time
e-lub [12.9K]
The answer is that a unicellular organism would swell and burst.

In a hypotonic solution <span>the </span>water concentration<span> of the cell's cytoplasm is </span>lower<span> then that of the hypotonic solution. If unicellular organism is exposed to a hypotonic solution, the water from the solution will enter the organism by the process called osmosis. The aim is to balance water concentration on the inside and outside of the organism. But, that water entering the cytoplasm of the cell will make pressure on the cell membrane. If the </span><span>excess water cannot be removed from the organism, it will swell and burst.</span>
