75% of the children will have the probability of being tasters. 25% will have the probability of being non- tasters.
Answer b)
There will be a 75% chance that their first child or their fourth child will be a taster.
The chances for every child will be the same because alleles assort independently during the time of gamete formation. Hence, the probability remains the same every time.
Answer c)
There will be a 25% chance for the first three offsprings to be non-tasters. 75% chances will be of them being tasters.
This is because the alleles assort independently each time during gamete formation. Hence, the chances will be the same every time.
By studying fossils, scientists can learn how much (or how little) organisms have changed as life developed on Earth. There are gaps in the fossil record because many early forms of life were soft-bodied, which means that they have left few traces behind. This is why scientists cannot be certain about how life began.
Answer:
Genotype ratio: 1 (RR) : 2 (RW) : 1 (WW)
Phenotype ratio: 1 Red : 2 Roan : 1 White
Explanation:
Codominance is a kind of inheritance pattern in which both alleles are equally dominant in a gene. This means that both alleles when in a heterozygous state will be simultaneously expressed. According to this question, allele for a red coat (R) and the allele for a white coat (W) results in offspring with a roan coat (RW) in cattle.
Hence, in a cross between a a roan cow (RW) and a roan bull (RW), the following gametes will be produced: R and W.
Using these gametes in a punnet square (see attached image), the offsprings with the following genotypes will be produced: RR, RW, RW, WW.
Therefore, based on the results of the cross;
Genotype ratio: 1 (RR) : 2 (RW) : 1 (WW)
Phenotype ratio: 1 Red : 2 Roan : 1 White

Troposphere – This is the densest layer and where weather events occur
Stratosphere – This is where the ozone layer is found. Some high altitude aircraft cruise in this layer.
Mesosphere – Temperatures drop with altitude in this layer
Thermosphere – This is where most of the meteorites that enter the earth’s atmosphere burn up. This layer takes up most of the Uv and X-rays from the sun. Most satellites orbiting earth are in this layer
Exosphere – almost akin to space due to the thinness of the layer. Molecules in the layer often escape into space

A ‘pause’ is a transition between the above-mentioned distinct layers. The tropopause, for example, occurs between the troposphere and the stratosphere and the stratopause between the stratosphere and mesosphere and thermopause is found between thermosphere and exosphere.
(3)
A temperature inversion is a rise in temperatures with altitude in a layer in the atmosphere. One layer exhibiting temperature inversion is the stratosphere. This is due to the ozone layer that absorbs UV light. The upper ozone absorbs most of the UV light, than lower ozone, exciting the molecules and making the higher altitudes in the layer to be warmer.
(4)
The ozone layer protects life on earth from the high energy UV radiation from the sun. UV is capable of causing double-stranded break on DNA resulting in genetic mutations on organisms. Most of these would be lethal. The Ozone absorbs most of the UV before it reaches earth's surface. Ozone is formed when an oxygen molecule reacts with another oxygen atom to form an O₃. The oxygen atoms are made from the splitting of an oxygen molecule by UV light.
