In humans, blue eyes are caused by a recessive allele ("b") that dilutes pigment production. BB and Bb individuals have brown ey

es and bb individuals have blue eyes. Red-green color blindness is caused by the X-linked recessive allele Xc. The 2 loci assort independently. If a BbXcX mother and a BbXY father have a son, what is the probability that the son will be: color-blind?_________________________blue-eyed? __________________________blue-eyed and color-blind? ___________________

Answer:

Probability that the son will be:

color-blind = 1/2

blue eyed = 1/8

blue eyed and color-blind = 1/16

Explanation:

Mother : BbXcX

Father : BbXY

Colorblindness is X linked recessive trait hence will be caused when the son has XcY genotype.

XcX   X    XY :

     Xc    X

X  XcX  XX

Y   XcY  XY

Half of the sons will have normal vision and other half will be colorblind hence, there is 1/2 probability that the son will be colorblind.

Eye color is autosomal trait and blue color will be produced when the child has bb genotype.

Bb     X    Bb  :

   B    b

B  BB  Bb

b  Bb   bb

1/4 of the children will have blue eyes. Since half of the children are expected to be males, 1/4 * 1/2 = 1/8 sons are expected to have blue eyes.

Probability of a son being blue eyed and color blind will be :

1/8 * 1/2 = 1/16

Describe one way to correlate similar rock layers
Verdich [7]

These fossils are very useful for us because we can use them to date the layers of rock that they are found in. Fossils that can be used in this way are called index fossils, and rock layers with the same index fossils in them can be correlated.     Not my answer, link here for full

Scientific measuring tools refers to the equipments or tools use to measure quantities in science examples include measuring cup, measuring cylinder, e.t.c.

The characteristic that describe Scientific tool is that To be accurate, it must be able to make measurements repeatedly over a long period of time because accuracy is how close the measurements for a value is to the correct value and it must take measurements for long period of time without errors.

If the planet were to cool in the future, snow may begin to accumulate in the head of a glacier more rapidly than it would melt
Phoenix [80]

Answer:

The glaciers will accumulate more in amount when the planet cools, and this will result in the slow expansion of glaciers, extending horizontally and downward, due to the pressure exerted by the glaciers. The glaciers will be rapidly accumulated in the glacier head in comparison to the zone of wastage, which covers the region below the snowline.  These glaciers moves at a fairly slow rate, under the influence of gravity.

As the planet cools, the terminus of the glaciers (glacier end or toe) will expand and will be distributed more outward and downward, and there will be more quantity of snow in a cool planet.

ad-work [718]

Answer: B- Bacteria

Explanation: Bacteria are infinitesimal organisms that have single cells that grow in different atmospheres. They have an easily understood inside arrangement. Their cells are normally surrounded by two shielding coverings which are an external cell continuous vertical structure and a cell pliable sheet-like structure acting as a boundary inside. However, some bacteria do have a third shielding sheet furthest from the center named the capsule.
