Answer:

Freckles, no PKU- 9/16

Freckles, PKU- 3/16

No freckles, no PKU- 3/16

No freckles, PKU- 1/16

Explanation:

This question involve two distinct genes; one coding for possession or not of freckles and the other for PKU disease in humans. Allele for freckles (F) and no PKU (P) are dominant over the alleles for no freckles (f) and PKU (p) respectively.

N.B: Possession of freckles is a dominant trait i.e. FF and Ff possess freckles

If a woman who is heterozygous for freckles and a carrier for PKU disease (FfPp) marries a man who is also heterozygous for freckles and a carrier for PKU disease (FfPp), they produce the following gametes: FP, Fp, fP, and fp

Using these gametes in a punnet square (see attached image), the following offsprings will be produced:

Freckles, no PKU (F_P_) - 9/16

Freckles, PKU (F_pp) - 3/16

No freckles, no PKU (ffP_) - 3/16

No freckles, PKU (ffpp) - 1/16

Answer:

I am too lazy to do this, but I am assuming you were supposed to do this in class. I will give you ideas.

Why is soil important?  Soil is our life support system. Soils provide anchorage for roots, hold water and nutrients. Soils are home to myriad micro-organisms that fix nitrogen and decompose organic matter, and armies of microscopic animals as well as earthworms and termites.

What is soil erosion?  Soil erosion is a naturally occurring process that affects all landforms. In agriculture, soil erosion refers to the wearing away of a field's topsoil by the natural physical forces of water (Figure 1) and wind (Figure 2) or through forces associated with farming activities such as tillage.

what human activities are responsible for soil erosion happening at advance rates?     Ploughing, unsuitable agricultural practices, combined with deforestation and overgrazing, are the main causes of human-induced soil erosion

What are some effects on soil loss?  The effects of soil erosion go beyond the loss of fertile land. It has led to increased pollution and sedimentation in streams and rivers, clogging these waterways and causing declines in fish and other species. And degraded lands are also often less able to hold onto water, which can worsen flooding.

What can be done to prevent soil erosion?   Maintaining a healthy, perennial plant cover.

Mulching.

Planting a cover crop – such as winter rye in vegetable gardens. ...

Placing crushed stone, wood chips, and other similar materials in heavily used areas where vegetation is hard to establish and maintain.

Explanation:  Hope this helps and have a great day
