You are studying a pair of genes (A and B) that either gene alone can cause deafness. Deafness from Gene A is dominant. Deafness

from Gene B is recessive. If both genes cause deafness, then you are deaf. You conduct the following cross: AaBb x AaBb What is the likelihood of an offspring with normal hearing

Answer:

3 individuals out of 16 are likely to have normal hearing

Explanation:

Available data:

  • Two diallelic genes cause deafness, A and B
  • Dominant allele A causes deafness (AA + Aa)
  • Recessive allele a does not provoke deafness (aa)
  • Dominant allele B does not provoke deafness (BB + Bb)
  • Recessive allele b causes deafness (bb)

Cross:

Parentals)   AaBb    x     AaBb

Gametes) AB, Ab, aB, ab

                AB, Ab, aB, ab

Punnett square)    AB            Ab            aB            ab

                 AB       AABB     AABb      AaBB       AaBb

                 Ab       AABb     AAbb       AaBb       Aabb

                 aB       AaBB      AaBb       aaBB       aaBb

                 ab       AaBb      Aabb       aaBb       aabb

F1) Genotypes:

  •     1/16 AABB (AA genotype causes deafness)
  •     2/16 AABb (AA genotype causes deafness)
  •     1/16 AAbb (AA and bb genotypes cause deafness)
  •     2/16 AaBB (Aa genotype causes deafness)
  •     4/16 AaBb (Aa gentoype causes deafness)
  •     2/16 Aabb (Aa and bb genotypes cause deafness)
  •     1/16 aaBB (neither genotypes cause deafness)
  •     2/16 aaBb (Neigther genotypes cause deafness)
  •     1/16  aabb (bb genotype causes deafness)

     Phenotypes:  

  •     13/16 Deaf individuals, A-B- + A-bb, + aabb
  •      3/16 not Deaf individuals, aaB-

Answer:

BbxBb.

Explanation:

If Bb gene is crossed with Bb, the offspring is produced with normal hearing because both the genes are recessive in which the deafness gene hide and the hearing gene is dominant so the offspring can hear sounds clearly. The dominant A gene is responsible for deafness and we can see the offspring BbxBb in which no dominant gene is present. The other three offspring are deaf because of the presence of dominant A gene in their genetic makeup.

In a small hospital in yokadouma, cameroon, a 24-year-old woman named prudence died in childbirth. which would not be considered
Misha Larkins [42]

Options for the question have not been given. They are as follows:

A. a lack of urban health care capacity

B. cultural disregard for women and women's health

C. prudence's family medical history

D. a lack of previous medical problems

Answer:

C. prudence's family medical history

Explanation:

Sociological factors include the factors related to human society. These factors stem from the way a society functions and effects the people which are a part of it. The way the society is structured and developed, impacts the people.

Prudence died during childbirth. There can be many sociological causes of her death like low status of women or poor medical facilities in her society. However, her family medical history will not be considered a sociological factor. Family medical history also depends on other factors like genetic composition of the family which is not a sociological factor.

A car travels 10 meters north, then 25 meters south, then 30 meters north. The trip takes 15 seconds.
Ira Lisetskai [31]

Why is your question in Biology section, it should be in mathematics or in physics but that's OK

The answer of A is - 21.6666666666 or 21.7

The answer of B is - 21.6666666666 or 21.7

the answer of A and B are equal because speed and velocity is the same thing
