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 a swimmer cuts his foot on a seashell while wading in the ocean and bleeds into the seawater, his erythrocytes will shrink. W
Tom [10]

Answer:A) The ocean is hypertonic to the erythrocytes.

Explanation:cells shrink when placed in an hypertonic solution.

This shrinkage occurs does to the movement of water out of the cell and through the cell membrane.this phenomenon is called plasmolysis.

The movement of water out of this cell occurs through osmosis.osmosis is the movement of water from a region of high concentration of solute to a region of low concentration of solute, through a semi-permeable membrane.

In this case,sea water has a higher concentration of solute (hypertonic) and the blood cells has a lower concentration(hypotonic) .the cell membrane serves as the semi-permeable membrane and and a result water moves out of the cell
