Attached earlobes are recessive to free earlobes. What is the probability of having a child with attached earlobes when two indi

Answer:

1/4

Explanation:

Let the earlobe allele be represented by A. since the attached earlobe is the recessive trait, the genotype would be aa while the free earlobe would be AA. The heterozygous condition would be Aa.

Two individuals heterozygous for free earlobes mated:

          Aa     x     Aa

    AA     Aa     Aa     aa

AA and Aa = Free earlobe = 3/4

aa = attached earlobe = 1/4

<em>Hence, the probability of the couple having a child with an attached earlobe is </em><em>1/4.</em>

Identify the correct order of events that allow nutrients from foods to be used by the body. Group of answer choices digestion,
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

The correct answer is- digestion, absorption, transport, elimination

Explanation:

The process of digestion starts from the mouth with the help of enzymes called salivary amylase present in our saliva. The food then passes through the esophagus to the stomach.  

In the stomach, the food is broken down in small fragments by churning movement which mixes digestive enzymes and food to form chyme.  

This chyme is passed to the small intestine where several enzymes from the liver and pancreas digest the food in smaller particles and absorb these particles in the blood. Therefore absorption takes place in the small intestine.

Then the solid waste material left behind after absorption is transported from small intestine to the large intestine and from large intestine waste is eliminated out of the body.

Therefore the correct order are: digestion → absorption→ transport→ elimination.

What two air pollutants are associated with the formation of acid rain?
Anna007 [38]

Answer:

Acid rain is caused by a chemical reaction that begins when compounds like sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides are released into the air. These substances can rise very high into the atmosphere, where they mix and react with water, oxygen, and other chemicals to form more acidic pollutants, known as acid rain.

Enzymes work only on a single substrate, in most cases. true or false.
borishaifa [10]
Most enzymes do in fact work on a single substrate in most cases, this is because of the enzyme - substrate specificity. Certain reactant molecules acting as substrates can only fit in the "lock" of particular enzymes and undergo a conformational change and result in Unique products to be released after the reaction has occurred.
