Fossils can be classified by their morphology (how they look), ethologically (how they acted), and toponomically (where they are in the substrate layers) to produce phylogenetic trees. However, more recent advances in genetic technology allow us to extract DNA from more recent fossils that have not had too much breakdown of the DNA, and we can much more accurately classify species from that information, and also provide much more accurate phylogenetic analysis.

Hemophilia is an X-linked recessive disorder in humans. If a heterozygous woman has children with an unaffected man, what are th
Lorico [155]

Answer:

a. 1/4 chance of occurring

b. 81/256

c. 3/4

d.  0.26

Explanation:

X-linked recessive inheritance is a pattern of inheritance in which a mutation in a gene on the X chromosome causes the phenotype to always get expressed in males (they have one X and one Y chromosome with mutation on the X) and in females who are homozygous for the gene mutation (mutation on both X chromosomes).

Indicating the mutation with h and the normal allele with H.Thus, if a heterozygous woman (XHXh) and an unaffected man (XHY). we have:

                   (XHXh)             x             (XHY)

           XHXH     XHXh           XHY                 XhY

             normal female      normal male   affected male

                      0.5                     0.25                 0.25

                        1/2                     1/4                      1/4

a. 1/4

b. Each unaffected offspring has 3/4 chance of occuring: four unffected - 3/4 x 3/4 x 3/4 x 3/4 = 81/256

c. 1/2 + 1/4 = 3/4

d. The probability of an unaffected offspring is 3/4. Here, the binomial expansion equation (where x = 2, n = 5, p = 1/4, and q = 3/4). The answer is 0.26, or 26%, of the time. probability of affected is 1/4. Thus, using this

P(x) = (⁵₂) pˣ (1 - p)ⁿ⁻ˣ =

  =   (⁵₂) (1/4)² (3/4)³  =

  = 5!/3!2! (0.0625) (0.4219) =

  =     10 (0.026)

  =       0.26

What does transcription ends with
Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer: Transcription begins when RNA polymerase binds to a promoter sequence near the beginning of a gene (directly or through helper proteins). RNA polymerase uses one of the DNA strands (the template strand) as a template to make a new, complementary RNA molecule. Transcription ends in a process called termination.
