Two humans mate who are heterozygous for earlobe shape where attached earlobes (A) are dominant to free earlobes (a), and earwax

quality where dry earwax (e) is recessive to wet earwax (E ). What is the probability that their first child will have dry earwax and attached earlobes

Answer:

3/16

Explanation:

This question involves two different genes coding for earlobe shape and earwax quality. The alleles for attached earlobes (A) and wet earwax (E) are dominant over the alleles for free earlobes (a) and dry earwax (e).

According to this question, two humans mate who are heterozygous for both genes i.e. AaEe × AeEe. Each parent will produce the following gametes: AE, Ae, aE, ae.

Using these gametes in a punnet square (see attached image), the following proportion of offsprings will be produced:

* Attached earlobe, wet earwax (A_E_) = 9/16

* Attached earlobe, dry earwax (A_ee) = 3/16

* Free earlobe, wet earwax (aaE_) = 3/16

* Free earlobe, dry earwax (aaee) = 1/16

Hence, the probability of these parents having their first child with dry earwax (ee) and attached earlobes (A_) i.e. genotype A_ee is 3/16.

Answer:

Soma

Explanation:

Soma is the site at which the error of integrating an excitatory signal with other incoming signals occurred. Another name for Soma is perikaryon.

This signal integrates chemical encoding of signal transduction from all other incoming signals and this signal is not integrated properly with other incoming signals to that neuron.

Is a dominant trait always the most common trait in a human population? (Plz explain why or why not :D)
Dimas [21]
No, what determines a dominant gene is how many copies of that gene exists  within the parent. This doesn't mean it will be the most common because of recessive genes. It doesn't matter how many copies a dominant gene has, a recessive gene can still appear in the offspring.
