Answer: half of the genetic information comes from each parent.
hope this helps ; )

You are analyzing a human pedigree for a new disease and discover that the disease occurs with the same frequency in both sexes

Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

The correct answer is A. autosomal recessive

Explanation:

In an autosomal disease, the mutation occurs in the autosomal chromosome, not in the sex chromosome. In autosomal recessive disease if both the defected allele from parent comes in the child then only the child would be affected by the disease. If the offspring have single defected allele than he is said to be a carrier.

So as the defect is not in sex chromosome the disease will occur in the same frequency in both the sexes and if parents are carriers which means they are not affected by disease than 25% offspring can have the disease because out of four offspring one can get both the defected allele, one from each parent. So the correct answer is A.

1. Flower position, stem length, and seed shape are three characters that Mendel studied. Each is controlled by an independently

maria [59]

Answer:

a. 1/64 AATTDD

b. 1/64 aattdd

c. 8/64=1/8 AaTtDd

d. 2/64 = 1/32 AATTDd or aattDd or AAttDd or aaTTDd

Explanation:

Available data:

Flower position: Axial (A) is dominant to Terminal (a)

Stem length: Tall (T) is dominant to dwarf (t)

Seed shape: Round (R) is dominant to wrinkled (r)

Cross:

Parental) AaTtDd x AaTtDd

Knowing that these four genes assort independently, then we can infer that the F1 will have the next genotypic proportions for each gene:

AA= 1/4

Aa =2/4

aa = 1/4

TT = 1/4

Tt = 2/4

tt = 1/4

DD = 1/4

Dd = 2/4

dd = 1/4

This is the same as developing a Punnett square for each gene separately.

Knowing this, to get each of the mentioned genotypes for each trait, we must multiply their respective genotypic proportions, like this:

a. homozygous for the three dominant traits, AATTDD

AA1/4 x TT 1/4 x DD 1/4 = AATTDD 1/64

b. homozygous for the three recessive traits, aattdd

aa 1/4 x tt 1/4 x dd 1/4 = aattdd 1/64

c. heterozygous for all three characters, AaTtDd

Aa 2/4 x Tt 2/4 x Dd 2/4 = AaTtDd 8/16=1/8

d. homozygous for axial and tall, heterozygous for seed shape. There are four possibilities, all of them with the same result:

AATTDd --> 1/4 x 1/4 x 2/4 = 2/64=1/32

aattDd ---> 1/4 x 1/4 x 2/4 = 2/64=1/32

AAttDd ---> 1/4 x 1/4 x 2/4 = 2/64=1/32

aaTTDd ---> 1/4 x 1/4 x 2/4 = 2/64=1/32

How do identify veins in our body

Alexandra [31]

Answer:

Veins are blood vessels in humans, and most other animals that carry blood towards the heart. Most veins carry deoxygenated blood from the tissues back to the heart; exceptions are the pulmonary and umbilical veins, both of which carry oxygenated blood to the heart. In contrast to veins, arteries carry blood away from the heart.

In the enteric nervous system, a long reflexive pathway has an advantage over a short reflexive pathway in the fact that _______

Shtirlitz [24]

A long reflexive pathway has an advantage over a short reflexive pathway in the fact that they can be also be stimulated by the central nervous system, whereas the short reflexive pathway is only stimulated by the enteric nervous system.
