In humans, male-pattern baldness is controlled by an autosomal gene that occurs in two allelic forms. Allele Hn determines nonba

ldness, and allele Hb determines pattern baldness. In males, because of the presence of testosterone, allele Hb is dominant over Hn. If a man and woman both with genotype HnHb have a son, what is the chance that he will eventually be bald?

Answer:

75%

Explanation:

The autosomal gene for baldness has two possible alleles: Hb (baldness) and Hn (nonbaldness).

A man and a woman, both heterozygous <em>HnHb,</em> have a son. Each parent produces gametes <em>Hn</em> or <em>Hb</em>.

The possible genotypes of their children, resulting from the combinations of those gametes, are:

  • 1/4 HnHn
  • 2/4 HnHb
  • 1/4 HbHb

In males, the Hb allele is dominant. Therefore, their son has a chance of 3/4 = 0.75 = 75% of having the Hb allele which determines baldness.

Write a short description of the life cycle of a flowering plan<br><br>​
sammy [17]

Answer:

Flowering plants begin as seeds. These seeds store energy and food within them long enough to reach the right environment and germinate. Germination is the development of a plant, growing from a seed into a seedling. Seedlings are the second stage of a flowering plant's life. This is when their roots begin to form and photosynthesis can begin. Next comes the growth period. After the seedling is planted, it requires a lot of food and energy as more leaves begin to emerge. The next stage of a flowering plant's life is the flowering stage itself. This is when buds and flowers begin to sprout. It enters the reproductive stage and pollination begins, allowing more seeds to be sown.
