Answer:

When two people heterozygous for the trait of a bent pinky finger have a child, the possible genotypes CC, Cc and cc -in a ratio of 1:2:1- being the phenotypes bent pinkies: straight pinkies in a ratio of 3:1.

Explanation:

Bent pinky finger is due to a condition called <u>Camptodactyly</u>, characterized by sustained bending of a finger due to a deformity in an interphalangeal joint. Pinky finger camptodactyly is a trait that is inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern.

  • With camptodactyly (bent pinky finger) C
  • Without camptodacilia (straight pinky finger) c

The parental generation is made up of two heterozygous individuals with bent pinky fingers:

♂ Cc

♀ Cc

The offspring of this hybrid cross, according to Mendelian heritage, can be seen in this Punnett Square:

<em>Alleles       C     c </em>

<em>C             CC   Cc </em>

<em>c             Cc    cc </em>

According to this the offspring will have:

<u>Genotypes</u>:

CC: 25%

Cc: 50%.

cc: 25%

<u>Phenotypes</u>:

Bent pinky finger: 75%

Straight pinky finger: 25%

What is a type of emigration where offspring move<br> away from their parents.
Bas_tet [7]

Answer:Dispersal

Explanation: This refers to offspring moving away from their parents. This prevents the offspring from competing with the parents for resources such as light or water. For example, dandelion seeds have “parachutes.” They allow the wind to carry the seeds far from the parents

Both coal and diamonds are forms of elemental carbon. Coal is brittle while diamonds are considered to be the hardest Of all sub
Art [367]

arbon, as with many elements, can arrange its atoms into several different geometries, or "allotropes." In pure diamond, every carbon atom is covalently bonded to exactly 4 other carbon atoms in a very specific and energetically favorable geometry. The diamond cannot be broken or scratched unless many covalent bonds are broken, which is difficult to do. In another common allotrope, graphite, every carbon atom is covalently bonded to only 3 other carbon atoms, and the atoms are arranged in sheets that are not covalently bonded to each other. The sheets can be broken apart easily, ultimately meaning that graphite can be easily scratched. Coal is composed of particles of different allotropes of carbon, and some "amorphous carbon," which has no defined geometry in its atomic structure. Without a continuous network of covalent bonds, coal is easily scratched (i.e. it is not hard).

11. Why<br> are<br> organisms with more similar amino acid sequences more closely related?
jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer and Explanation:

Because the DNA sequence determines a protein's amino acid sequence, a gene shared by two closely related organisms should have similar, or even identical, amino acid sequences. That's because closely related species most likely diverged from one another fairly recently in the evolutionary span. Thus, they haven't had as much time to accumulate random mutations in their genetic codes.
