A woman heterozygous for polydactyly (extra fingers and toes), a dominant trait, is married to a normal man. What is the probabi

lity of producing an offspring that has extra fingers or toes?

Answer:

The correct answer is -50%

Explanation:

Polydactyly is a dominant trait where a person gets an extra finger or toes the dominant allele is represented by P = allele for polydactyly, and the recessive allele represented by p = normal allele

So, the heterozygous woman will be - Pp & the normal man will be - pp.  The presence of one allele of polydactyly will be able to show its effect as it is dominant.

Cross between heterozygous woman & normal man:

Gametes:

   P                              p

p Pp (Show polydactyly) pp (Normal phenotype)

p Pp (Show polydactyly) pp (Normal phenotype)

From the above Punnett square, the probability of an offspring that has extra fingers or toes will be 1/2 or 50%.

Use this information to answer questions 6 - 11. Your original population of
grigory [225]

Answer:

1. How did the tidal wave  affect the predicted frequencies of the alleles in the population?

No changes

2. What is the frequency of the recessive allele?

q= 0.6

Explanation:

If we assume that all individuals were equally likely to be wiped out, that means the frequency/ratio of the gene and genotype of the population will not change. The tidal wave killing 100 out of 200, so it simply makes the population become half of it used to be.  

If the population at equilibrium, we can use the Hardy-Weinberg formula to find out the expected frequency of the dominant and recessive alleles. There are 36 homozygous recessives out of 100, so the frequency of the recessive allele will be:

q^2 = 36/100

q= √36/100= 6/10= 0.6

Valentin [98]

Answer:

B. Cellulose

Explanation:

Polysaccharide are substances that contains many units of monomers called MONOSACCHARIDE. They are carbohydrate molecules consisting of very long chains of monosaccharides like glucose, galactose etc.

An example of molecule that forms from strong chains of polysaccharides is CELLULOSE, which consists of long chains of glucose units linked together by B-1,4-glycosidic bonds. Cellulose is the most abundant polysaccharide on Earth found in plant cell walls.
