Answer:

PpCc; ccpp; ccPp; 1/2

Explanation: The complete correct question is as follows

A polydactylous woman, otherwise normal, marries a healthy normal man. Their four children have the following phenotypes:

Child 1 is normal in all respects; Child 3 has cystic fibrosis, otherwise normal Child 2 is polydactylous, otherwise normal; Child 4 has cystic fibrosis and is polydactylous. A. What is the genotype of the mother? B. What is the genotype of child 3? C. What is the genotype of child 4? D. What is the chance that child 1 is heterozygous for cystic fibrosis?

We represent the traits of the parents with the following

P= Polydactyly

p=normal

C= normal

c= abnormal (cystic fibrosis

A. What is the genotype of the mother

Mother PpCc (polydactylous)

Father: ppCc (healthy normal)

B. What is the genotype of child 3?

Applying the mendel's cross link between the mother's genotype and father's genotype,

PpCc × ppCc

Child 3 will be ccpp (abnormal with cystic fibrosis)

C. What is the genotype of child 4?

Applying the mendel's cross link between the mother's genotype and father's genotype,

PpCc × ppCc

Child 4 will be ccPp

D. What is the chance that child 1 is heterozygous for cystic fibrosis?

Applying the mendel's cross link between the mother's genotype and father's genotype,

PpCc × ppCc

Child will be Cccc

The chance is 1/2

1. Structure such as the human tailbone or appendix that evolution has reduced in size because it is no longer used = d. vestigial structure

2. study of the similarities and differences in the structures of different species:
= g. comparative anatomy

3. structure that is similar in related organisms because it was inherited from a common ancestor: = c. homologous structure

4. study of the similarities and differences in the embryos of different species: study of the similarities and differences in the embryos of different species = j. comparative embryology

5. scientist who finds and studies fossils to learn about evolution and understand the past:
= i. paleontologist

6. mistaken idea of jean baptiste lamarck that evolution occurs through the inheritance of traits that an organism develops in its own lifetime: = h. inheritance of acquired characteristics

7. process by which a single species evolves into many new species to fill available niches:
= e. adaptive radiation

8. relative ability of an organism to survive and produce fertile offspring: = k. fitness

9. structure that is similar in unrelated organisms because it evolved to do the same job, not because it was inherited from a common ancestor: = f. analogous structure

10. study of how and why plants and animals live where they do: = a. biogeography

11. process in which organisms evolve traits useful to humans because people select which individuals are allowed to reproduce and pass on their genes to successive generations:
= b. artificial selection

Which of the following is the term for an abnormally low white blood cell count?
Nikolay [14]

Answer:

The correct answer is- Leukopenia

Explanation:

White blood cells are present in our blood which protect our body from foreign antigens like bacteria, viruses, etc. When these white blood cells decrease abnormally in number then this condition is called leukopenia.

White blood cells contain different cell which protect our body from different type of infections. So there are different types of leukopenia according to the particular white blood cell whose number became low.

For example when neutrophils number in the body decrease it is called neutropenia. So the correct answer is leukopenia.
