As mentioned in the question, wavy hair is a result of phenomenon of incomplete dominance where no allele is dominant over the other.

So if we say a man with curly hair (hh) marries a woman with straight hair (HH), we need to find out will their kids have straight hair or not.

Let us cross them:

Parents:                                      hh X HH

Gametes:                                    h : h and H :H

Offspring:                                hh: Hh: hH: HH

Probability of children with straight hair (HH) = 25 %

Probability of children with curly hair (hh)  =      25%

Probability of children with wavy hair =              50 %

So there is a chance of 25 % that their kids can have straight hair.


Hope it helps!

Describe how cooperativity of oxygen binding in hemoglobin is advantageous for the transport of oxygen from the lungs to the tis
Nostrana [21]
The affinity of hemoglobin for oxygen is less than its structural analog myoglobin. However, this does not affect hemoglobin's usefulness for the body; on the contrary, it allows hemoglobin to be a  more efficient carrier than myoglobin. This is because hemoglobin can release oxygen more easily than can myoglobin. It is both important for oxygen to be carried to different areas and also to be released when needed. The higher affinity of a given protein for oxygen, the harder it will be for that protein to release oxygen when needed. Therefore, hemoglobin's lower affinity for oxygen serves it well because it allows hemoglobin to release oxygen more easily in the body.

Fechner stated the existence of a functional relationship between body and mind is, in general, not _____
BARSIC [14]

Solution:

Dualists view the mind and the body as two fundamental different “things”, equally real and independent of each other. Cartesian thought, or substance dualism, maintains that the mind and body are two different substances, the non-physical and the physical, and a causal relationship is assumed to exist between them. Physicalism, on the other hand, is the idea that everything that exists is either physical or totally dependent of and determined by physical items. Hence, all mental states are fundamentally physical states. In the current study we investigated to what degree Swedish university students’ beliefs in mind-body dualism is explained by the importance they attach to personal values. A self-report inventory was used to measure their beliefs and values. Students who held stronger dualistic beliefs attach less importance to the power value (i.e., the effort to achieve social status, prestige, and control or dominance over people and resources). This finding shows that the strength in laypeople’s beliefs in dualism is partially explained by the importance they attach to personal values
