Answer:

The probability of their having a child with normal tooth enamel and color blindness is 3/8 or 0.375

Explanation:

Let the alleles for normal and defective tooth enamel be T and t respectively.

Color blindness is on the X-Chromosome. Let the allele normal vision and colour blindness be Xn and Xc respectively.

The woman had a colour blind father (XcY) and a normal vision mother, so her allelic pair for vision will be XnXc.

Her father had normal tooth enamel while her mother had a defective tooth enamel, therefore, she will have the allelic pair, Tt.

Her genotype for vision and tooth enamel will be XnXcTt.

Her husband who is color blind with normal tooth enamel had a father with defective tooth enamel, tt. Therefore, her husband's genotype for vision and tooth enamel will be XcYTt.

From the dihybrid cross of XnXcTt and XcYTt, the following offspring are obtained:

XnXcTT, XnXcTt, XnYTT, XnYTt

XnXcTt, XnXctt, XnYTt, XnYtt

XcXcTT, XcXcTt, XcYTT, XcYTt

XcXcTt, XcXctt, XcYTt, XcYtt

From the results of the cross, a child with normal tooth enamel and color blindness will have the following genotypes: XcXcTT, XcXcTt, XcYTT, XcYTt, XcXcTt, XcYTt.

Probability of their having a child with normal tooth enamel and color blindness = 6/16 = 3/8 or 0.375

Another word for chemical weathering is
Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

1. Another word for chemical weathering is b. disintegration

Chemical weathering is a process by which the rocks are broken down into parts and sediments by the action of a chemical agent such as alkali or acid. The disintegration can be a natural process by which a solid body is broken down into parts or subparts.

2. d. moving water is not an agent of chemical weathering agent.

The chemical weathering can be caused by the agents like lichens which secretes acid on the rock surface and causes it's disintegration, acid rain and salt water are chemical agents that can cause the disintegration of the rock but moving water will have little influence on the hard rock surface.

3. c. chemical weathering is a process which turns rocks and minerals into new substances. The chemical weathering process brings change in the chemical composition of the rocks due to the action of the weathering agents  hence, on disintegration of rocks new substances are formed.

depending on the environment the plant is in, more or less gas may be produced. suggest a method for measuring the rate of gas p
makkiz [27]

Answer: The correct method would be - to collect the gas in an inverted graduated cylinder. Explanation: Place the aquatic plant under the mouth of the graduated cylinder and gather the gas by the water displacement that is delivered by the cycle of photosynthesis. At that point measure, the volume of gas gathered at different times. An individual could consider the impact of temperature, the measure of light, and the accessibility of supplements as components that may influence the pace of gas creation.
