Answer:

50%

Explanation:

This question involves a gene coding for eye color in humans. The allele for brown eyes (B) are dominant to blue eyes (b). This means that blue-eyed individual will possess genotype: bb.

According to this question, a blue-eyed man (bb) has children with a brown-eyed woman (B_) whose mother has blue eyes (bb). Since the mother of the brown-eyed woman has a blue eye, this means that the woman will be heterozygous for brown eye (Bb).

Hence, the parents in this question will cross as follows: blue eyed man (bb) × brown-eyed woman (Bb). The offspring/children will have the following genotypes (see attached punnet square); Bb, Bb, bb, bb.

Based on the question, 2/4 = 1/2 of the children will be heterozygous for the eye color trait. That is, ½ × 100 = 50%.

6. What is the average size of the exons you used to make the coding region? What is the average size of the introns in the gene
cupoosta [38]

Question 1:

Exons are gene fragments whose DNA sequence after transcription is found in mature mRNAs. This part of the gene is most often coding.

The size of the exons in the genomes follows a log-normal distribution, with an average length of about 150 nucleotides, knowing that in eukaryotes, each gene contains several exons and introns (an average of 8) so the size is 8*150 = 1200 bp.

Question 2:

Introns are fragment of a gene located between two exons. Introns are present in immature mRNA and absent in mature mRNA. "Non-coding" fragment of the gene.

The introns average in a gene is 3365 bp including 3'UTR and 5'UTR and intermediate introns.

Describe the information displayed by ecological pyramids Use all three pyramids (number, biomass, and energy in your answer.​
kumpel [21]

Explanation:

Edit

An ecological pyramid (also trophic pyramid, Eltonian pyramid, energy pyramid, or sometimes food pyramid) is a graphical representation designed to show the biomass or bioproductivity at each trophic level in a given ecosystem.

A pyramid of energy represents how much energy, initially from the sun, is retained or stored in the form of new biomass at each trophic level in an ecosystem. Typically, about 10% of the energy is transferred from one trophic level to the next, thus preventing a large number of trophic levels. Energy pyramids are necessarily upright in healthy ecosystems, that is, there must always be more energy available at a given level of the pyramid to support the energy and biomass requirement of the next trophic level.

A pyramid of energy shows how much energy is retained in the form of new biomass at each trophic level, while a pyramid of biomass shows how much biomass (the amount of living or organic matter present in an organism) is present in the organisms. There is also a pyramid of numbers representing the number of individual organisms at each trophic level. Pyramids of energy are normally upright, but other pyramids can be inverted or take other shapes.

Ecological pyramids begin with producers on the bottom (such as plants) and proceed through the various trophic levels (such as herbivores that eat plants, then carnivores that eat flesh, then omnivores that eat both plants and flesh, and so on). The highest level is the top of the food chain.

lara31 [8.8K]

The answer is stem cells, they consist of classes of cells that are undifferentiated and are able to be classified them into types like specialized cells. They consist of having two main sources that will help them develop and mature, these main sources are called the embryonic stem cell and the adult stem cell.
