Answer:

widow's peak children = 3/4

no widow's peak children = 1/4

Explanation:

Widow's peak is a dominant trait. Assuming that the gene that controls the trait is represented by the allele A, the alternate form (no-widow's peak) would be a.

If two people who are heterozygous have children:

                              Aa   x   Aa

                        AA    Aa    Aa    aa

widow's peak = 3/4

no widow's peak = 1/4

<em>the expected phenotypic ratio of the offspring would be 3 to 1 widow's peak to no-widow's peak.</em>

The _________________ is composed of and endothelial layer that is continuous with the endocardium of the heart.
hram777 [196]

The t<u>unica media</u> is composed of an endothelial layer that is continuous with the endocardium of the heart.

<h3>What is tunica media?</h3>

Collagen, elastin, and smooth muscle cells make up tunica media. It is located halfway between the tunica externa and the tunica intima. The transverse arrangement of its strands and color make the middle coat (tunica medium) distinct from the inner (tunica intima). It not only supports the vessel but also alters the vessel's width to control blood pressure and flow.

Elastic fibers make up the majority of the tunica media in bigger vessels. The number of elastic fibers reduces as arteries get smaller, whereas the number of smooth muscle fibers grows. The strongest of the three layers is the tunica adventitia, which is the top layer. Elastic and collagenous fibers make up its structure.

Name three environmental factors that can damage the genes that produce those enzymes
igor_vitrenko [27]
The following are the environmental factors that can damage genes that code for these enzymes. radiation from sun, various chemicals and x-rays. these agents are referred to as environmental mutagens. they result to changes in the genetic make up of the organism and in  turn affect the production of enzymes. enzymes are protein in nature and once the DNA has been compromised their production is affected. in most cases mutated DNA produces enzymes with lost or abnormal function.
