Answer:

the genotype for the man is Bb and that of the woman is Bb

Explanation:

Blue eye colour (b) in human is recessive to brown eye colour (B), thus blue eyes(b) will express itself in homozygous condition only (bb). The dominant "B" allele can express itself in both homozygous(BB) and heterozygous conditions(Bb). Since the man is browned eyed and the woman is browned eyed and they have a child which is blue eyed.

For the child to be blue eyed (that is bb), the genotypes of the parent which are both brown eyes must be Bb. That is the genotype for the man is Bb and that of the woman is Bb

Answer:

In the case of these two parents, a quarter of their children would have blue eyes.

Explanation:

It is not only possible, it is expected that this would happen an appreciable fraction of the time.  Brown eyes are dominant.  Suppose eye color were dependent on a single Mendelian gene with two alleles, Br for Brown eyes and Bl for Blue eyes.  (As Tracey Bryan has explained, this is not true -- I want to explain what the answer would be even in the simple case.)  This means the three possible combinations of two alleles give the following eye colors:

BrBr => Brown

BrBl => Brown

BlBl => Blue

Now suppose two brown-eyed people have a child.  We can't tell from the fact that they have brown eyes which pairs of alleles they have.  Each of them could have either BrBr or BrBl.  Suppose they each have BrBl.  When they are crossed (i.e., they have a child), the child gets one allele from its mother -- it has a 50-50 chance of getting either one -- and one allele from its father -- again it has a 50-50 chance of getting either one.  So, the child has:

25% chance of getting Br from mother and Br from father => brown eyes;

25% chance of getting Br from mother and Bl from father => brown eyes;

25% chance of getting Bl from mother and Br from father => brown eyes;

25% chance of getting Bl from mother and Bl from father => blue eyes.

So in the case of these two parents, a quarter of their children would have blue eyes.

Scientists claim that global climate change is threatening many species with extinction. Which statement provides the strongest
solniwko [45]

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

The animals that live on the earth in many different regions because they are adapted to live in a particular habitat. The animals of the polar regions cannot adjust living the Sahara desert and the reptiles living in the desert cannot live in polar regions.

But many of the species are dependent on the seasonal change and they only emergence or produce during specific period of time.

But if due to global climatic change there will be no emergence of particular species and their species will be extinct over a period of time. So, the global temperature needs to be constant in order to support life of the species dependent on the seasonal temperature change.

Which sentence describes the distinction between algae and plants? Algae and plants are both eukaryotes that photosynthesize the
Andre45 [30]

Correct answer: D). Algal cells have a cell wall made of chitin, while plant cell walls are made of cellulose.

Algae and plants are similar as both of them produce their own food by the process of photosynthesis. The main difference is found in their complexity.

The cell wall of the plants is made of cellulose, hemicellulose and pectin, and polysaccharides, while the cell wall of algae is made up of chitin, which is a polysaccharide derived from glucose.

Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

Connective tissue that are found in muscle are of 3 types-Endomysium,Perimysium and epimysium.

Explanation:

Endomysium is called as areolar connective tissue that have nerve and capillaries.

It attaches  with epimysium and perimysium and form collagen fibers of tendons.

Perimysium is  a sheath of connective tissue that transmit lateral contractile movement.

Epimysium is the layer that is formed by  irregular connective tissue .

This layer covers the muscle and provide  protection from friction against muscle and bone.

This layer contain fascia and other connective tissue.
