Imagine a pedigree that traces an inherited disorder found in individuals with two recessive alleles for gene D. The pedigree sh

No, the parents don't have a disorder, but they carry recessive allele.

Individuals with the disorder are recessive homozygous (dd). It is known that recessive allele produces its phenotype only when it is paired with another recessive allele. Thus, to have offspring with disorder (with genotype dd), parents must be heterozygous, or one parent is recessive homozygous, and the other one is heterozygous. 

Now, let's imagine both situations:

Parents:            Dd           x              dd
Offspring:       Dd       Dd         dd           dd

In this cross, there is no possibility to have children with genotype DD.

Parents:            Dd           x              Dd
<span>Offspring:       DD       Dd         Dd           dd
</span>
In this cross all three genotypes DD, Dd, or dd could be inherited.

It can be concluded that three children with <span>the genotypes DD, Dd, and dd, the parents must be heterozygous which do not have the disorder.</span>

Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

Mammalian dentition is characterized by heterodonty, in which both the upper and lower teeth are differentiated morphologically into four types: flat, chisel-shaped incisors, conical canines, bicuspid premolars and multicuspid molars in the mesiodistal direction.

Explanation:.

  • <u>The mesiodistal crown:</u>dimension is the smallest of any maxillary teeth.The mesiodistal measurement of the pulp chamber is wider compared to the labiopalatal one. The periphery of the socket often dips down palatally, labially, mesially and distally to accommodate the shape of the root.
  • <u>Maxillary central incisor:</u>The general shape is similar to maxillary central incisor except that they are shorter and narrower. It has the most cervically located contact area of any incisor. The mesioincisal and distoincisal angles are more rounded than the corresponding angles of maxillary central incisor.
  • <u>Permanent mandibular central incisor:</u>The crown dimensions are the smallest of any tooth, it has bilaterally symmetrical crown, and the line angles are the sharpest of any tooth.It shows the shallowest labial developmental grooves, smoothest lingual surface contour and the least developed cingulum.

algol [13]

Answer:

A. Adaptation

Explanation:

Adaptation refers to the evolutionary process in which organisms undergo mutation or genetic change over many generations, which makes the organisms become better suited to multiply and survive in its habitat. The genetic mutation of Daphnia which makes them develop a trait that makes subsequent generations to prefer warmer environments is an example of adaptation of the organism to his environment.

A Bb guinea pig crosses with a Bb guinea pig. All of the four offspring are black. How did this happen?
s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

The chance for having black offspring is 75% while for white, the recessive gene is 25%.

Explanation:

The chance for black offspring is a higher chance than white and that's why all of the offspring are black.
