If two brown-eyed parents have produced three blue-eyed sons and if they have another child, it's likely their next child will be brown-eyed. Both parents have a recessive allele for blue eyes, so it is a 75 percent chance the next will be brown-eyed.

Hope that helps. -UF aka Nadia

Answer:

75%

Explanation:

Two brown-eyed parents have produced three blue-eyed sons . This means that the parents have heterogyzous genotype with one blue allele. Here, brown color is dominant over the blue color of the eye.

Let, the brown color eye allele be represented by "B" and the blue color allele be represented by allele "b"

So the genotype of parents would be "Bb"

If a cross is carried out between two parents with genotype "Bb" the following offspring will be produced  -

Bb x Bb

BB, Bb, Bb, bb

So out of the four offspring three children have brown color eye.

Thus the probability of a child having brown color eye is

\frac{3}{4} * 100\\= 75%

Use what you know about atmospheric circulation and seasonal changes in the sun’s orientation to earth to explain the highly sea
viva [34]

Answer:

The Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ)region gets the most direct sunlight at any given period in time. This in turn causes air to be unstable with a drop in pressure and rise of air which cools and condenses into clouds to form precipitation causing the wet season in the tropics.

In this region, the sun is directly or almost overhead as seen during summer periods in the tropics.

Only in areas of the North and South of the ITCZ known as doldrums which at times are parallel to the ITCZ do we have high pressure that aren't conducive to precipitation causing dry season in the tropics.

In the ITCZ zone, we also have the tropical rain forests along the equator with huge amount of all round rain for the year.

Along the equator, on either side of the rain forests we have the dry and wet forests with the savannah to the North of this region and the southern hemisphere to the south of these forests since these forests are seen mostly in the ITCZ than the savannahs.

Rain shadows and ocean cueeebts may at times cause some savannahs to be along the equator and some rain forests -wet and dry forests- to be positioned further form the equator.

Interleukin-5 (IL-5). IL-5 is responsible for the recruitment and maturation of eosinophil. Eosinophils on the other hand are majorly involved in the inflammatory response in asthma- characterised by narrowing of the airways. Mepolizumab and reslizumab are, therefore, anti-IL-5
