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>

If the diploid number in a liver cell is 52, how many chromosomes are there is the egg of this organism?
allsm [11]
Gametes or sex cells (sperm and eggs) contain half the number of chromosomes that exist in autosomal cells; they are haploid. Therefore in the case where the diploid number of chromosomes is 52, the haploid number would be half of that, meaning 52/2 = 26.

3. Which of the following are NOT types of microorganisms?
timofeeve [1]

Answer:

d. Earthworms

Explanation:

Think about it: have you ever actually seen a prion, virus, or bacterium? No, because they can't be seen with the naked eye. Microorganism means that it's too small (hence the prefix micro-) to see.

  • Prions are little misfolded proteins. Viruses are nonliving things made up of a protein and nucleic acid. Bacteria are little prokaryotic microorganisms.
