Answer:
a) The genotype of her father = "aa".
The genotype of her mother = "Aa".
The genotype of Sally is "Aa".
b) 1/2
c) 1/2
Explanation:
a) Sally's father has alkaptonuria. So, the genotype of her father is "aa". Her mother is normal. Since her brother is affected by the disease, he should be homozygous recessive (aa). This means that the mother also has one copy of "a" allele and is heterozygous dominant (Aa). A cross between Aa (mother) and aa (father) would give 50% affected progeny with "Aa" genotype. So, the genotype of Sally is "Aa".
b) The genotype of her mother= Aa
The genotype of her father = aa
Aa x aa = 1/2 Aa (affected): 1/2 aa (normal)
So, if Sally's parents have another child, there is a 1/2 probability that this child will have alkaptonuria.
c) The genotype of Sally = Aa
Genotype of the man Sally marries= aa (since he is affected with alkaptonuria)
Aa x aa= 1/2 Aa (affected): 1/2 aa (normal)
There is a 1/2 probability that their child will have alkaptonuria.
Skins cell reproduce more because let’s say for example you get hurt and the skin falls off in order to protect you it grows back immediately
Answer:
DNA is nucleic acid
Explanation
1. The Burmese python is an invasive species in the Everglades ecosystem. This means its numbers increase dramatically due to lack of natural predators. The python is feeding on small mammals such as rodents that feed of egg of animals such as the turtles. This, therefore, causes a ripple effect on the food web in the ecosystem e.g dramatically increasing turtle population.
2. Due to the lack of natural predators in the ecosystem, the Burmese python causes an imbalance in the Everglade ecosystem. They reduce the biodiversity of the ecosystem hence diminishing the quality of natural resources.
3. The number of Burmese pythons can be regulated by introducing a predator in the Everglade ecosystem. Examples of animals that can prey on the snake are eagles, pumas, lions, crocodiles, cobras, and humans. This will reduce the numbers of the Burmese python and restore the balance in the ecosystem.
The answer would be, Heterozygous Genotype.
Hope that helps!!!!
