A husband and wife both have cleft chins, and when you look at their four children, three also have cleft chins; however, one do

es not. What can you deduce from this observation, if you already know the cleft phenotype is due to two alleles of the same gene?
(A) A cleft chin is an example of a recessive trait.
(B) A cleft chin is due to a dominant allele.
(C) This pattern of inheritance in the children must result from both parents being homozygous for the same allele.
*D) All four children are heterozygous for the two different cleft chin alleles

Answer:

B- A cleft chin is due to a dominant allele

Explanation:

A husband and wife both having the phenotype for cleft chin and producing an offspring without a cleft chin, indicates heterozygousity in their genotype.

With the heterozygous genotype however, they both expressed the phenotype for cleft chin, indicating that the allele for cleft chin is dominant over the allele coding for normal chin.

Since both parents are heterozygous for cleft lip, the  sequence of genotype in their offspring will be:

  • 25% chance of having homozygous cleft chin
  • 50% chance of having heterozygous cleft chin
  • 25% chance of having homozygous normal chin

Because of the dominance of the cleft chin allele, both homozygous and heterozygous forms of the cleft chin allele, will be expressed in the offspring and only the offspring homozygous for normal chin will not express this allele.

Flauer [41]

Answer:

Greenhouse gases absorb radiation from the EARTH and reradiate back toward the EARTHwhich help to maintain a normal temperature range in the Earth.

Explanation:

Greenhouse gases are gases that are capable to of absorbing infrared radiations that are emitted from the Earth's surface and reradiating back to the Earth which contributed to the greenhouse effects. Examples of greenhouse gases are carbondioxide, methane and water vapour. Others are ozones, flourinated gases, nitrous oxides e.t.c.

The green house gases has lead to climate changes in the Earth by trapping heat, the contribute to respiratory diseases by smog and air pollution. Greenhouse gases concentrations are high during warm seasons and low during cold seasons.

san4es73 [151]

I was sitting in my room, my eyes glued to the flashing screen, the palm of my hands slick with sweat as I struggled to hold onto the controller, the smooth surface slipping every second or so. I could barely hear anything, but the blaring of the sound effects that blasted through my room, shutting out any sound, including the knock on my door from my mother. I started, dropping the controller, my eyes wide. I snapped "What!" at my mother, her face contorting into pinched irritation. "Dinner is ready." She said, turning away to head back down the stairs. My eyes shifted to the open doorway, the nostrils of my nose flaring as I took in the scent of food. I could smell spices, and the humid stench of steam. My stomach growled and I quickly shot up from the floor and thundered down the stairs, leaping into the kitchen to find the source of the heavenly smells that wafted in my direction. I spotted turkey, garnished with lemon and green herbs, and sitting beside it, a large bowl of something off-white. It looked like mashed potatoes. I hastily took a seat and set my elbows upon the wooden surface of the table, my mother scolding me over her shoulder as she divided place settings. "Elbows off, please." She piped, pulling out her own chair with an ear splintering squeal that grated my nerves, causing my teeth to grind together. My mother passed a plate of green beans towards me, and I quickly scooped them onto my own plate, then going for the turkey, the mashed potatoes added last. With no time for prayer, I dug in, the tinges of my fork scraping against the plates clay surface as I scooped a fork full of beans up, and shoved it into my mouth. It tasted bland, with the barest hint of salt. I swallowed, cringing as it went down and took a bite of the mashed potatoes. Of course it was delicious. They were light, buttered perfectly. I gave a small sound of appreciation and went for the turkey last. I stabbed a piece of meat and popped it into my mouth, the texture odd. Hard to describe really. It was tough, but also soft enough to bite into, and with lemon added into it, it was tangy, making my mouth salivate. My mom smiled at the expression my face, nearly laughing. I made a face at her and swallowed, going in for another bite.
