Answer:
I.
Explanation:
The woman's father has haemophilia so his genotype must be XhY, so his daughter can only have the following genotype: XHXh. Her husband is not a haemophiliac so his genotype must be XHY. There is a 50% chance that the mother's gamete has the recessive allele for haemophilia. If she has a son that son will have a 50% chance of getting the Xh. This also applies to daughters, but they will get the normal allele XH from their father so the daughter will have a 0% chance of developing haemophilia.
The type of cell division being shown is meiosis. Meiosis creates four haploid cells. The genetic material is exchanged between the cells during meiosis, meaning that the four daughter cells of each have a different variant of the genetic information.
Coltan is short for columbite-tantalite, a dull metallic ore. When refined, coltan becomes a heat resistant powder.
Answer:
Darwin's theory of natural selection lacked the physical proof of the intermittent species as suggested by him. The fossils of such species had not been discovered by the time he wrote his book 'Origin of species'. In order to defend his theory, he pointed out the non-reliability on fossils.
Explanation:
The field of geology was just evolving at the time Darwin wrote his book, and no fossils supporting his theory has been discovered yet. He defended his theory by saying that the fossils cannot be depended on for the proof of evolution as the the process of fossilization depends on many factors, and the available fossils are very rare. The irregularities in the geological records, also suggested that the fossil records are not perfect.
Defending his theory, he shows how, if available. the fossil records can support his theory. The fossils should show the features of both the extinct (parent species ) species and the present species, as the species present in today's world have evolved from the ones that existed long before them through the process of natural selection.
The discovery of the Archaeopteryx in 1861 supported his theory and the process of evolution as it showed the features of both the reptiles and birds.
