Answer:

The correct answers are

Question a) "50%".

Question b) "66%".

Explanation:

Achondroplasia is caused by a dominant allele, which means that a person with a "A" allele will develop this condition. In this case, all the people with Achondroplasia are heterozygotes "Aa" because the dominant genotype "AA" causes prenatal death. If a person with achondroplasia "Aa" mates with a person of average height "aa", the expected percentage of children with average height will be 50%, since there are 50% of chances of having "aa" children and 50% chances of having "Aa" children. Also, If two persons with achondroplasia have children ("Aa" x "Aa") , the expected percentage of children with achondroplasia will be 66%. The probability of having children with the "Aa" genotype is 50%, however since the "AA" genotype causes prenatal death, this genotype is not considered in the percentage.

What would happen if the keystone species of hummingbirds were taken out of there ecosystem?
olga nikolaevna [1]
Hummingbird predators would not have a food source, therefore competitive exclusion would occur and there'd be a decrease in hummingbird predators. There would also be an increase in the number of the hummingbird's prey since the hummingbird wouldn't be there to consume them. The absence of the species would mess up the rest of the ecosystem

Darwin examined remains of extinct organisms while on his journey. The remains had been preserved in rock for a very long time.
garri49 [273]
The remains are called fossils. Fossils are remnants of animals, plants, or microorganisms that have been solidified in the process of fossilization, where the organism is surrounded by sediment, minerals, and other solid objects which are compressed and heated around the organism over time. This forms a solid mass with the preserved organism inside, other known as a fossil.

Essay : What is the impact of pandemic on climate change and vice versa?​
Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

.

Explanation:

To explain the last sentence, what I mean by that is the sudden decrease in air pollution in just a few weeks is what would have typically taken multiple years to do. Due to less drivers, factories shutting down, and more, less toxic and infirm mental hazardous chemicals were released into the atmosphere in an extremely short amount of time. However, nowdays, it is almost back to where is was before the pandemic.
