Answer: The correct answer is -

The chance that the offspring will have straight hair is 100%

Explanation:

As per the given information in the question, straight hair (H) is a dominant trait over curly hair (h) which is a recessive trait.

Dominant trait masks the expression of recessive trait.

Straight hair can have two genotypes that are HH and Hh, whereas recessive trait that is curly hair will only be expressed when present in 'hh' genotype (Homozygous recessive).

Genotype of parents are-

Mother- HH (homozygous dominant)

Father - Hh (heterozygous dominant).

When they are crossed, they will result into following offspring-

HH X Hh

=HH, Hh, HH, Hh

This indicates that all the offspring will be produced with straight hairs.

Thus, there is 100% chance of getting offspring with straight hairs.

It would be 75% because that is 3/4, the chances of dominant offspring.

How is the speed of light affected as light passes at an angle from air to water
Liula [17]
They are said to be “denser” than air. what happens is that light slows down when it passes from the less dense air into the denser glass of water. this slowing down the ray of light also causes the ray of light to change directions. it is the change in the speed of the light that causes refraction.

Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

Explanation:

mRNA (messanger ribonucleic acid) is produced through the process called transcription in the nucleus. Transcription make ribonucleic acid from deoxyribonucleic acid. The enzyme RNA polymerase creates an RNA molecule that is complementary to the template DNA coping all the information on the DNA into the mRNA formed and 3' to 5' cap are added to stabilize the RNA after which this mRNA then moves from the nucleus where it was produced to the ribosome in the cytoplasm for translation of the information that is coded in the bases.

FGF5 is a gene that is encoded in the DNA.

Zielflug [23.3K]

Rhinoviruses are transmitted through the air or via contact. We might expect this sort of transmission to require a fairly healthy host (one who gets out and comes into contact with others) and, hence, to select against virulent strains. If we take precautions and try to stay away from people or avoid any contact with people, more hand-washing stations, increased attention to sanitization, and isolation of patients will help to reduce the transmission of the disease and, in the process, may favor the evolution of less virulent strains of the virus.
