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.

Describe the procedure of water reaching the leaves from the roots of a plant
Lisa [10]
The water enters the xylem first by osmosis. Water moves from the soil to the root hair cell down a water potential gradient, and to the root cortex cell from a higher water potential to a lower water potential, this process will be repeated until water enters xylem. Because transpiration is occurring in the leaf, water is lost so there is a lower water potential inside the leaf. Osmosis moves water from the xylem to the leaf because the xylem has a higher water potential. Water moves from the xylem to the cells of the leaf. This pulls water up the xylem via cohesion which is the process of water molecules attracting each other and sticking together. Water does not fall down the xylem as here is adhesion which is the process of water molecules sticking to the inside of the xylem.

notsponge [240]

Answer: the correct answer is (B) Whether others of the closely related group of plants also produce histidine in large quantities

Explanation:

This is a CAUSAL argument.

In a causal argument, A and B are observed together, and the CR concludes that A CAUSES B.

Premise = A and B are observed together:

A cultivated herb produces histidine and is able to grow in metal rich soils.

Conclusion = A causes B:

Histidine CAUSES the herb to be able to grow in metal rich soils.

One way to strengthen the conclusion that A causes B is give ANOTHER SUPPORTING EXAMPLE that links A to B.
