Answer:

The mother must be heterozygous.

Explanation:

t=Tay-Sachs trait

T=Normal trait

Parent genotype combinations:

Tt x Tt

Possible genotypes:

<u>     |  T    |    t  </u>

<u> T  </u><u>| TT  |   Tt  </u>

<u> t   </u><u>| Tt   |    tt  </u>

Since it is a recessive trait there must be 2 of the recessive alleles for the trait to show. This means neither of the parents can be totally normal(TT).

Since both parents are considered normal the both must be heterozygous to be able to produce an child with Tay-Sachs.

Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

Ratio used to describe a change that represents relationship between two values numerically.

Therefore, the correct answer to the question is option A.

Explanation:

Ratio is a relation between two numbers. This relationship is represented numerically. The relationship is not represented graphically or by a picture manner. Also, it is not the relationship which is represented on a scale.

Hence ratio is relationship which is represented numerically. The ratio is defined as a part of something in the whole. By ratio we can also calculate the parts whichever is needed.

The other choices are nitrogen sources for plants.

Explanation:

Plants absorb nitrates (NO₃) and nitrites (NO₂) from the soil. Plants utilize these nitrogen sources which they assimilate to make plant proteins, amino acids and nucleic acids. Animals get their nitrogen sources from proteins that they acquire from feeding on the plants. These proteins are broken down into amino acids and used to make animal proteins.  The amino acids also provide nitrogen source for which nucleic acids are formed.
