In humans, a type of blindness is due to a dominant allele; normal vision is the result of a recessive allele. Migraine headache

s are due to a dominant allele, and normal (no headaches) is recessive. A male who is heterozygous for blindness and does not suffer from headaches marries a woman who has normal vision and does not suffer from migraines. Could they produce a child with normal vision who does not suffer from headaches? If yes, can the probability of such a child be determined?

Answer:

Yes.

Probability of such child = 1/2 or 50%

Explanation:

According to the question, below are the genotypes and phenotypes possibilities:

aa = normal vision & no headache

Aa = normal vision & no headache

AA = blindness & headache

                                                                      Male                       Female

                                                                        Aa                            aa

Possible genotypes of progeny:            Aa        Aa           aa         aa

So it is clear that out of the 4 probable children, 2 with 'genotype aa' will have normal vision & no headache.

Mathematical expression is as under:

2/4 = 1/2 that means 50% progeny.

What is the primary function of chloroplasts?
galina1969 [7]
The primary function of the chloroplasts in a plant is to convert light from the sun into glucose and energy in a process that is known as photosynthesis. This energy is then used by the plant cells for incredibly important functions such as growth and repair, so the chloroplasts are amongst the most necessary parts of any plant.

Air at the equator is warm and has a ______density, which creates ________ in comparison to the air at the poles.
almond37 [142]

Answer:

Lower, low pressure

Explanation:

The temperature at equator are mostly higher than at the poles almost all times of year. This high temperature causes air at the equator to warm up quickly and thus, the air density reduces and it becomes lighter. Now, light air rises upwards. Thus, creating a low pressure region at equators. This low pressure causes the air near the poles gush towards the equator.

Hence, the blanks will be filled with the words

Lower, low pressure.

The thoracic cavity contains the ________. It is found ________ to the vertebral cavity.
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer: The thoracic cavity contains the heart, lungs and many of the main vessels of the circulatory system. It is found anterior to the vertebral cavity.

Explanation:

The thoracic cavity is the second largest hollow space of the body and it is the space limited by the ribs, the vertebral column, and the sternum. It is the upper region of the body starting from the neck and ending where the diaphragm ends. So, it is separated from the abdominal cavity by the diaphragm. It contains 12 ribs, and 7 of them attach directly to the sternum, 3 attach to the sternum via cartilages and 2 do not attach to the sternum at all and are called floating ribs. The cavity contains several organs, such as the lungs, heart, great vessels and esophagus.

The abdominal cavity spaces around the organs are filled with the core muscles that attach to the posterior spine. Besides. the ribs vertically, horizontally and across the abdominal region.

The vertebral cavity is the posterior portion of the dorsal cavity, it contains the spinal cord within the vertebral column, the meninges and the fluid-filled spaces between them. It is formed by the vertebrae through which the spinal cord passes.

<u>The thoracic cavity is anterior to the vertebral cavity, because anterior describes the front or direction toward the front of the body</u>.
