A 25-year-old woman who recently underwent genetic testing has just learned that she is heterozygous dominant for Huntington dis

ease. Her husband, however, who also underwent the testing, is free from the trait. What are the odds that the couple will have a child who will inherit the disorder?

5 0

Answer:

The odd is zero.

Explanation:

Assuming the Huntington disease allele is represent by b. Nomal allele will be B which is the alternate form.

The genotype of the 25 years old woman will be Bb, since she heterozygote.

The genotype of the husband will be BB, since he's free from the trait.

Crossing both genotypes:

 Bb   x   BB = BB, BB, Bb and Bb.

The genotypes of the offspring will be either BB or Bb. They either free from the trait or heterozygote.

<em>Hence, the odds that the couple will have a child with the disorder is 0. They can only produce heterozygotes or totally normal children.</em>

A recombinant plasmid created during a recombinant DNA experiment:
Rama09 [41]

Answer:

B.carries and allows expression of a foreign gene of interest.

Explanation:

Plasmids are the low molecular weight extrachromosomal DNA molecules that are able to replicate themselves independent of chromosomal DNA due to the presence of "ori" (origin of replication).

Plasmids serve as vectors in recombinant DNA technology as some of their genes can be replaced with the gene of interest to create recombinant plasmids.

The restriction enzymes that create the sticky ends and DNA ligases facilitate the insertion of the foreign gene into the plasmids.

The host cells are made competent to take up the recombinant plasmids. Once inside the host cell, the recombinant plasmids replicate themselves and express the gene of interest that they carry.

How could the basic compounds necessary for life have been formed on early Earth
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:<em> The Miller-Urey experiment provided the first evidence that organic molecules needed for life could be formed from inorganic components. Some scientists support the RNA world hypothesis, which suggests that the first life was self-replicating RNA.</em>

Explanation:

Simple organic compounds might have come to early Earth on meteorites.
