Down syndrome is caused by trisomy 21, the presence of three copies of chromosome 21. The extra copy usually results from nondis

junction during meiosis.In some cases, however, the extra copy results from a translocation of most of chromosome 21 onto chromosome 14. A person who has had such a translocation in his or her gamete-producing cells is a carrier of familial Down syndrome. The carrier is normal because he or she still has two copies of all the essential genes on chromosome 21, despite the translocation. However, the same may not be true for the carrier’s offspring.

Answer: The carrier’s offspring would suffer Down syndrome due to the presence of XXY chromosome.

Explanation:

Down syndrome is a condition caused by a chromosomal excess e.g XXY instead of XX-chromosome found in normal females or XY-chromosomes found in normal males

Translocation is the transfer of a chromosomal segment to a new position, especially on a nonhomologous chromosome.

After translocation, the carrier is normal because he or she still has two copies of all the essential genes on chromosome 21. However, on production of sex gametes, the transferred segment follows Mendel law of segregation and makes it way as XXY to the newly formed zygote - putting the carrier offspring at risk of Down syndrome.

Wanda and marita are drinking bottles of water. each girl sounds a different musical note by blowing across the top of her bottl
frozen [14]

If there is less water in the bottle, then the note played is lower because there is more air to move around.

Using two different media (air and water) in glass bottles show how the speed of vibrations affects pitch.

Pitch is the way that your ear and brain order sounds based on their frequency (vibrations per second).

Rapid vibrations (high frequency) that reach your ear are categorized as a "higher" pitch, while slower vibrations (low frequency) are categorized as a "lower" pitch.

When you tap a glass of water with a pencil or spoon the water molecules vibrate and create sound waves through the water. More water means slower vibrations and a deeper tone.

The bottle with the most water will have the lowest pitch while the bottle with the least water will have the highest.

When Wanda and Marita blow across the top of the bottle, they set the air molecules vibrating and produce sound waves. In this case, more water results in a higher pitch, as opposed to tinkling the bottle. When the bottle has a small amount of water in it, the air molecules have lots of room and vibrate slower. Adding more water gives them less space to vibrate in, making them vibrate faster and producing a higher pitch.

Brown hair is dominant over red hair. What will the genotypes and phenotypes of the offspring of a cross between a homozygous br
bija089 [108]

Answer:

1) Firstly, lets sort out the alleles for the dominant and recessive characteristics. The dominant brown allele will be written as B and the recessive red hair allele will be written as b.

2) Lets sort out the genotype of the parents. The parent having homozygous brown coloured hair will carry the alleles BB. The parent carrying the heterozygous brown coloured hair will carry the alleles Bb.

3) The punnet square from these parents will be drawn as follows:

      B        b

B    BB     Bb

B    BB     Bb

4) Now, lets predict the phenotype of the offsprings. The results from the punnet square show that all of the offsprings will have brown coloured hair.

5) The genotype for the children will have 50% chance to be homozygous brown (BB) and 50% chance to be heterozygous brown (Bb).
