Answer:

Please see the answer below

Explanation:

a. The roman numerals represent the various generations in the pedigree.

I represents first generation

II represents the second generation

b. The half shaded square and circle representing the parents means that both of them are carriers for the trait in question. Tay-Sachs disease is an autosomal recessive inheritance, assuming the trait is represented by the allele a, the gentoypes of the parents would be Aa and Aa respectively.

c. Still on the assumption that the disease is represented by the allele a. If offpsring II4 which happens to be free of the Tay-Sachs allele marries a person that also does not carry the Tay-Sachs disease gene, the cross will be as shown below.

AA x AA = AA, AA, AA, and AA.

All the children would be free from the Tay-Sach's allele. That is, they will be homozygous normal.

Lisa had 20 grams of water. She poured out 15 grams. Which of the following physical properties of the water changes? (4 points)

Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

Volume

Explanation:

The boiling point and density of water never changes, no matter how much you add

So the answer CAN'T be Boiling point or Density

Electrical Conductivity changes only when the number of ions in a solution changes

So it CAN'T be Electrical Conductivity

It has to be VOLUME because volume is the only physical property that changes when you add or take away liquid from a liquidous mixture
