Answer: 1/16, or approximately 6.25% (see explanation below)
Explanation:
Answering this question requires two steps.
First, we need to figure out the probability that this couple will have a child with albinism in the first place. We know the following:
- Both parents are unaffected.
- The couple has already had one affected child.
- Albinism follows an autosomal recessive inheritance pattern.
Let ( M = normal gene ) and ( m = mutated gene ). Since the condition is recessive, the affected child can be assumed to have a “mm” genotype. Barring the possibility of a de novo mutation (which are assumed to be rare), the affected child must have inherited one ”m” allele from each parent. Since both of them are unaffected, however, we can assume that they are both carriers (genotype “Mm”). In conclusion, 1/4 of their offspring (25%) <em>for any given pregnancy</em> may be expected to have albinism. See the resulting Punnett square:
<u> | M | m </u>
<u>M | MM | Mm </u>
<u>m | Mm | mm </u>
Note that the question asks about the probability that not one but two consecutive births result in affected children. Since it can be assumed that both events are independent (meaning: the outcome of a pregnancy does not influence the outcome of following ones), we may apply the rule of multiplication for probabilities. The final answer is therefore 1/4 * 1/4 = 1/16.
Should be prophase because chromatin coils up, becoming shorter and thicker, thick enough to become visible when stained.
Nucleic acids. They contain a phosphate base and a nitrogen group.
Answer:
Sarcomere
Explanation:
A myofibril or muscle fiber under an electron microscope shows alternate light band and dark bands. These bands give the skeletal muscle and cardiac muscle a striated appearance. The light band is called the I- band or isotropic band, and the dark band is known as A- band or anisotropic band. In the center of the I-band Z-line is present. It is discovered from a German term Zwischenscheibe (between the disc). The portion of myofibril between one Z-line to the next Z-line is called sarcomere.
