Achondroplasia is a form of dwarfism inherited as a completely dominant trait. Two achondroplastic dwarfs have a dwarf child; la

ter, they have a second child who is normal. What are the genotypes of the two parents in this mating? What is the probability that their next child will be normal? A dwarf?

Answer:

There's 25% probability that their next child will be normal, and 75% of it being a dwarf.

Explanation:

Achondroplasia (A) is a dominant trait.

Two achondroplastic dwarfs (A_ x A_) have a dwarf child (A_) and a normal child (aa). The second child must be aa because if it had a dominant allele it would also be dwarf.

The only way for two achondroplastic parents to have a normal child is that <u>they are both heterozygous (Aa) for this gene.</u>

The cross Aa x Aa would produce the following offspring probabilities:

  • 1/4 AA - dwarf
  • 2/4 Aa - dwarf
  • 1/4 aa - normal

So there's 1/4=25% probability that their next child will be normal, and 3/4=75% of it being a dwarf.

Where is the energy shown in the equation transferred as a result of photosynthesis?
Leto [7]

The right answer is into sugars.

Photosynthesis aims to create energy (in the form of carbohydrate) from the

light energy from the sun. The organisms that use the photosynthesis

mechanism are phototropic because they make organic materials from

inorganic materials.

A student is investigating temperature changes at a nature preserve on a hot, clear day. Each hour, the student takes two temper
Nataly [62]

A. Air over the lake will reach its highest temperature later in the day and will stay warm longer than air over the ground.

Explanation:

The most likely observation the student will record is that the air over the lake will reach its highest temperature later in the day and will stay warm longer than air over the ground.

This phenomenon between the differences in land and water temperature causes land sea breeze to occur.

  • Water has a very high specific heat capacity.
  • This implies it takes more heat to cause a monumental increase in its temperature.
  • It is expected that the student will observe that the air over the lake body will reach its highest temperature later in the day. It would have gotten heated with time.

A body such as water in a lake with a high specific heat capacity stays warm for a longer period of time compared to other substances.

Metals do not have high specific heat capacity and would not stay warm for long. They quickly lose heat.

The ________ a population, the greater the potential effect of genetic drift on gene frequencies.
densk [106]
The smaller a population, the greater the potential effect of genetic drift on gene frequencies.
Genetic drift is an evolutionary term which refers to the random changes in a population's allele frequencies. These changes happen by chance due to the random selection of alleles from the genetic pool in each generation. Genetic drift can lead to either loss of some alleles or the fixation of others (100% frequency). The effect of genetic drift is stronger in smaller populations. This is because, the larger the population, the larger the sample size and the slower the result of genetic drift.
