The progeny has one set of genes from its mother and another set from its father.
What is the choices for the blank?
Answer:
The correct answer would be D) tt.
Recessive traits need a homozygous condition to get expressed and to produce a particular phenotype. In contrast, dominant trait can be expressed in homozygous as well as heterozygous condition of the alleles of a gene.
Now, shortness is a recessive trait encoded by allele "t". Hence, allele "t" must be present in the homozygous condition in order to make the plant short.
Thus, the genotype of all the short plants in the field should be tt and the genotype of the tall plants would be TT or Tt.
Answer: The man's genotype is WwLt while the woman's genotype is wwLt.
Explanation: From the information given above, W is the allele for wide jaw, w is the allele for narrow jaw, W is completely dominant to w, L is the allele for large teeth while t is the allele for small teeth.
The man has wide jaw but his mother has a narrow jaw, since narrow jaw is recessive the man must have inherited one recessive allele for narrow jaw from his mother who has two recessive alleles for narrow jaw. Therefore since the man has wide jaw, he must be heterozygous for wide jaw (having one dominant allele for wide jaw and one recessive allele for narrow jaw), his genotype for wide jaw is therefore Ww. The man is heterozygous for teeth size, this means that he has one dominant allele for large teeth and one recessive allele for small teeth. His genotype for teeth size is Lt. Therefore the man's genotype is WwLt.
The woman has a narrow jaw, this means that she has two recessive alleles for narrow jaw (ww) and she is heterozygous for large teeth size, this means that she has one dominant allele for large teeth and one recessive allele for small teeth (Lt). Therefore, the woman's genotype is wwLt.
I believe the correct answer would be the third option. Our elements that comprise over 95% of the human body are <span>carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen. Carbon and hydrogen is the backbone of any hydrocarbon or organic compound. The cells in our body are made up organic compounds thus our body is mostly composed of carbon and hydrogen. Oxygen is also present in high percent in our body since it is important for the processes of the cells. Also, nitrogen should be present in our body in large amount since it is present in proteins which is found in our body's cells and tissues.</span>
