Please help with number two and three!!! Thanks

Chlorophyll and carotenoids are both pigments found in the cells of organisms like plants. They have differing color range depending on which wavelength of light they absorb and which they reflect. For example, chlorophyll pigment are green because they reflect green light and absorb others.

According to this question, the leaves of most plants contain yellow and orange carotenoids in addition to green chlorophylls but leaves are mostly green. This is because there is an abundant of chlorophyll pigment than any other pigment in the leaves of most plants. Hence, GREEN COLOR conferred by chlorophyll dominates and masks the color appearance of the other accessory pigments like yellow and orange carotenoids.

Suppose a couple has come to see you to discuss the probability of their children having cystic fibrosis (CF). CF is known to be

m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

The children that the couple may have a 25% chance of having cystic fibrosis and 75% chance of being carriers for the CF gene

Explanation:

We know that both parents are in the same situation. Let's start for example with the mother. She has one parent and one sibling with cystic fibrosis (CF). So, supposing that the allele of the gene that causes the disease is "f", as the disease is autosomal recessive, both, the parent and the sibling have the genotype ff.

Also, knowing that the other parent has a normal phenotype, but the sibling has CF, we deduce that the other parent of the mother must have a Ff.

So, despite the mother's phenotype is normal, her genotype is Ff (see the Punnett square 1) Couple's parents in the attached image). In other words, she is a carrier for the CF gene.

As the parents' situation is analogous, we can deduce that the father also has a genotype Ff and is also a carrier for the CF gene.

Now, if we look at the Punnett square for them (see the square 2) Couple in the attached image), we see that all their children will always have at least one copy of the CF allele, f.

More specifically, their children have 25% chance of having cystic fibrosis and 75% chance of having a normal phenotype but being carriers of the CF gene.

What is the passageway through which an egg travels through the ovary to the uterus

Shtirlitz [24]

The Fallopian tubes, or the oviduct, is the passageway through which an egg travels through the ovary to the uterus. The end of the Fallopian tubes have an opening near the ovary called the fimbria!
