Explanation:

The effect of land development on biodiversity has resulted in the habitat destroyed, the ecosystem is destroyed, species extinctions, and overexploited.

An increase in urbanization, human activities is the main cause of land development and this has affected biodiversity.

development in land includes activities such as clearing of land, increasing the intensity of a landscape, removal of vegetation, filling of the land, grading, construction, dredging has resulted in the loss of wildlife, affected the biota, threatened the ecosystems, species.

Last week you were wondering what Jessica and Tom's babies might look like with respect to their eyebrows and earlobes (both Tom

mash [69]

Answer:

25%

Explanation:

The possible genotypes and phenotypes are:

EE or Ee: thick eyebrows
ee: thin eyebrows
FF or Ff: free earlobes
ff: attached earlobes

Tom and Jessica have thick eyebrows and free earlobes. Tom's mother has attached earlobes, so Tom must have inherited an f allele from her, and because he has free earlobes he must be heterozygous Ff. We assume Jessica is homozygous for free earlobes FF.

Tom's mother and Jessica's father have thin eyebrows, so they are both ee and therefore both Tom and Jessica must be heterozygous Ee.

From the above information, Tom has the genotype EeFf and Jessica is EeFF. If you do a Punnett Square of this cross, you'll get that the probability of having a child with free earlobes and thin eyebrows (eeF_) is 25%.
