Answer:

100%.

Explanation:

Cystic fibrosis may be defined as the hereditary disease that affects the digestive system and the lungs of an individual. Cystic fibrosis is an autosomal recessive disease.

The autosomal recessive disease can only be expressed in the homozygous recessive condition. Since, both the parents are affected this means they have the genotype aa. The cross between the parents (aa × aa), the progeny will be of aa. There is 100% chances that their first progeny will be diseased.

Thus, the correct answer is option (D).

A que distancia se encuentra una gaviota respecto del nivel del mar?​
REY [17]

Answer:

Para determinar la distancia a la que se encuentra una gaviota respecto del nivel del mar, es necesario medir la altura a la que se encuentra volando. Así, dado que el nivel del mar tiene una altura considerada como de 0 metros, si la gaviota está volando a unos 500 metros de altura, por ejemplo, esa será su distancia respecto del nivel del mar.

Dihybrid crosses can be used to predict two independent alleles in the future generation. In echidnas, the allele for brown fur
Mrac [35]

Answer:

25% of the offsprings will be BBCC

Explanation:

This is a typical dihybrid cross involving two distinct genes. One coding for fur colour and the other for claw sharpness. The allele for brown fur (B) is dominant over the allele for black fur (b) in the first gene while the allele for sharp claws (C) is dominant over the allele for dull claws (c) in the second gene.

In a cross between parents with genotypes: BbCc x BBCC , each parent will produce four possible allelic combinations of gametes as follows:

BbCc: BC, Bc, bC, bc

BBCC: BC, BC, BC, BC

Using these gametes in a punnet square (see attached image), 16 possible offsprings will be produced with four distinct genotypes:

BBCC (4)

BBCc (4)

BbCC (4)

BbCc (4)

According to the question, an offspring that is homozygous dominant for both traits will possess a genotype: BBCC

N.B: Homozygous dominant means contains same alleles for the dominant trait.

Hence, offsprings with genotype, BBCC, from this cross are expected to be 4 out of the 16 possible offsprings. Hence, the percentage is 4/16 × 100 = 25%.
