<span>B) 50%
The reason for this is because if the mother and the father, one is infected, and the other not, then it would be a 50/50 chance. </span>

B)50%


Explaination:

The child receives 23 chromosomes from each parent because the child required 46 chromosomes. Each parent also gives genetic information to the child (DNA). Therefore, if one parent is sickly and the other is not, there is a 50/50 chance that the child could get sick or not.

Part C

The style is the female reproductive part of the plant. it plays important role in plant breeding .

What is style and the role of style in reproduction ?

The stigma and ovary are connected by a long tube-like structure called the style. The pollen tubes bearing male gametes enter the style tissues and travel to the ovary's ovule once the stigma's pollen grains have germinated. Once within the embryo sac, it travels to the egg cell to fertilize it with the aid of the filiform apparatus.

The style is crucial to the plant reproduction  process since it not only serves as the site for the formation of the pollen tube but also functions to prevent incompatible pollen from entering the ovary. Genetic information is transferred between the pollen and the plant when the pollen tube begins to spread within the style. The plant also produces a poison at this period. The plant will release the poison to block the formation of the pollen tube if the pollen is unsuitable because it comes from a different species or is too closely related, leading to inbreeding.

If the pollen is compatible, the plant will isolate the poison and sequester it so that the pollen tube growth is not halted. Therefore, the style is the area where compatibility is evaluated and where it is decided if pollen that falls on a flower will be allowed to fertilize the plant.

Advantage amoeba has over a cell of a lizard in relations to their levels of organism
nignag [31]

Amoebas are single-celled organisms, which means that they are composed of just one cell. Each amoeba is a cell capable of performing all living functions by itself. They can reproduce asexually. They are protozoans with no fixed shape. Most have no hard parts and look like blobs of jelly.

The modern synthesis combined the concepts of _______ and evolution.
jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

1. genetics

2. constant

3. genetic drift

4. Modern synthesis combines the ideas surrounding evolution and natural selection with those of genetics.

5. A genotype is the genetic makeup of an organism. It describes the DNA that underlies a trait. There are dominant and recessive alleles and heterozygous and homozygous genotypes. A phenotype is the physical manifestation of that genotype.

6. The most common type of mutation is a deleterious mutation. Natural selection acts to remove this allele from the population.

7. The most common type of observed mutation is a neutral mutation. This mutation doesn't impact natural selection in any noticeable way since it doesn't impact the fit of that organism. Since neutral mutations convey no advantage, they generally must spread in a population through drift. Many also will disappear through drift.

8. During sexual reproduction, each organism is provided a copy of chromosomes from each parent, and this allows for new combinations of DNA.

9. This isn't an example of genetic drift because there's a genetic component to the ability to withstand severe temperatures. Therefore, this is an example of natural selection, related to surviving extreme environmental conditions
