Answer: dinosaurs and birds
Plentiful collection of fossils of early birds and their most immediate predecessors has settled the century-old controversy about the origin of birds. Birds are now safely declared to evolve from a group of dinosaurs known as maniraptoran theropods. Birds have similar shape of the bones as a variety of maniraptorans have. A host of fossils have shown also that the maniraptorans lay looked alike eggs as that of birds and they resemble the birds in the way they laid their eggs also. Those reasons prove that they are most closely related.

Fill in the Punnett square below to visualize the offspring of a cystic fibrosis carrier and a person who doesn't have cystic fi

Answer:

50% of their children are likely to be carriers of cystic fibrosis

Explanation:

Since the normal allele "F" will be the dominant allele while the mutated CFR allele "f" will be the recessive allele, the gene (pair of alleles) of the person that is a CFR carrier will be "Ff" while that of the normal person who isn't a carrier will be "FF". The attachment shows the crossing between the two parents. From the illustration in the attachment, for every 4 children given birth to, 2 of them will likely be normal, "FF", (not a carrier and doesn't have cystic fibrosis) while 2 others will likely be carriers of cystic fibrosis (Ff). Hence, 50% of their children are likely to be carriers of cystic fibrosis.
