So: both parents' genotypes (concerning baldness gene) are the same: Bb. Possible genotypes of an offspring: BB, Bb, Bb, bb . bb means non-bald girl or boy. Bb means bald boy or non-bald girl. BB means bald boy or girl. there is 25% chance of conceiving a child with a genotype BB. But there is also 50% chance of conceiving a girl. So the answer is: 25% x 50% = 12,5%
The presence of vertebral column or notochord at any stage of life in any organism is the characteristic of vertebrate.
Explanation:
An animal is vertebrate if it fulfils the following criteria:
Presence of vertebral column or notochord.
Presence of endoskeleton or backbone.
The spinal cord runs above the vertebral column.
Humans embryo has notochord which becomes a vertebral column.
The alimentary canals end in the anus.
Mouth is present ta the anterior side of the vertebrate.
Have legs, fins or wings for movement.
Presence of a nervous system and sensory organs.
Presence of skin, lungs or gills.
Presence of a circulatory system.
Vertebrates include fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals.
Answer:
All of the genes controlling the traits behaved as if they were located on different chromosomes.
Explanation:
Mendel's experiments with pea plants lead to two principles:
- Law of segregation which states that the pair of alleles (for any trait) of each parent separate, meaning that one allele passes from father and another from mother to an offspring.
- Law of independent assortment which states that different pairs of alleles (for different traits) are passed to offspring independently of each other (traits are located on different chromosomes).
