Answer:

support and movement of the body.

Explanation:

The two systems work in a coordinated fashion to provide support and movements. While the skeleton provide the bony framework for support, and attachment surface or platform, the muscles are attached to the bones of the skeleton through this surfaces or platform, and the contractions produces by the muscles gives movements to the body parts.

E,g the biceps muscles of the upper arm is attached to the humerus bone of the upper arm to provides movements of the upper arm in mammals when this muscle contracts.

The musculosketal system formed in this manner provides shape, stability and locomotion to the body.

You are studying a pair of genes (A and B) that either gene alone can cause deafness. Deafness from Gene A is dominant. Deafness

Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

BbxBb.

Explanation:

If Bb gene is crossed with Bb, the offspring is produced with normal hearing because both the genes are recessive in which the deafness gene hide and the hearing gene is dominant so the offspring can hear sounds clearly. The dominant A gene is responsible for deafness and we can see the offspring BbxBb in which no dominant gene is present. The other three offspring are deaf because of the presence of dominant A gene in their genetic makeup.

How to find the number of cells in mitosis

MA_775_DIABLO [31]

i think this could help :) 

Count the number of cells in each phase of mitosis. Add the data to the table on page 4. Calculate the percentage of cells in in each phase of mitosis. Step 2: Calculate the time an onion root tip cell spends in part of the cell cycle.

A woman and a man are both heterozygous for a recessive allele for a rare genetic disease. If they have one child, what is the p

makkiz [27]

Answer:

If they have one child, the probability that he or she will be affected is 1/4.
If they have two children, the probability that at least one of them will be affected is 7/16.

Explanation:

A cross between two heterozygous Aa individuals will produce the followinf offspring: 1/4 AA, 2/4 Aa and 1/4 aa.

Since the disease is recessive, 1/4 of the offspring will have the aa genotype and 3/4 of the offspring will be unaffected.

Every time they have children new gametes were generated independently.

The probability of having no affected children both times is, according to rules of probability for independent events, 3/4 × 3/4 = 9/16 (it's the probability of having a healthy child the first time multiplied by the probability of having a healthy child the second time).

The probability of having at least one affected child is 1 - probability of no affected children = 1 - 9/16 = 7/16.
