Red-green color blindness is due to an X-linked recessive allele in humans. A widowâs peak (a hairline that comes to a peak in t

he middle of the forehead) is due to an autosomal dominant allele. Consider the following family history:
A man with a widowâs peak and normal color vision marries a color-blind woman with a straight hairline.
The manâs father had a straight hairline, as did both of the womanâs parents.

Use the family history to make predictions about the coupleâs children.

What is the chance that any daughter the couple has will be color blind with a straight hairline?

A. 0B. 1/2C. 3/4D. 1E. 1/4

Answer:

A. 0

Explanation:

Both red-green color blindness and and shape of hairline are independently assorting genes.

Red-green color blindness is X-linked recessive while hairline shape is autosomal dominant.

The man who has widow's peak had a father with straight hairline. This means that the man is heterozygous for the trait.

Assuming hairline shape is represented by S. A heterozygous widow's peak man will have a genotype of Ss. A straight hairline woman will have a genotype of ss.

Assuming the allele for colour blindness is c. A normal vision man will have the genotype X^CY while a color blind woman will have the genotype X^cX^c.

X^CY Ss   x    X^cX^c ss

<em>The man does not have the color blind allele and a daughter will need two color blind alleles (one from the father and the other from the mother) in order to show the trait.</em>

<em>This means that the probability of the couple producing a color blind daughter is 0. Hence, the chance that any daughter the couple has will be color blind with a straight hairline is also 0.</em>

The correct option is A.

In your own words, explain the processes responsible for the formation of a reverse fault.
zzz [600]
Reverse faults are exactly the opposite of normal faults. If the hanging wall rises relative to the footwall you have a reverse fault. Reverse faults occur in areas undergoing compression. If you imagine undoing the motion of a reverse fault, you will undo the compression and thus lengthen the horizontal distance between two points on either side of the fault.
if you stood on the fault plane the block on the right would be under your feet. this is thus the footwall. The tan sandstone has been pushed up and over itself. This offset of the hanging wall indicates that this is a reverse fault.
