Imagine that a newly discovered, recessively inherited disease is expressed only in individuals with type O blood, although the

disease and blood group are independently inherited. A normal man with type A blood and a normal woman with type B blood have already had one child with the disease. The woman is now pregnant for a second time. Assuming that both parents are heterozygous for the gene that causes the disease? Assume that both parents are heterozygous for the gene that causes the disease. Enter your answer as a fraction - e.g. 1/2 - and do not put anything else in the box.

Complete question:

Imagine that a newly discovered, recessively inherited disease is expressed only in individuals with type O blood, although the disease and blood group are independently inherited.

A normal man with type A blood and a normal woman with type B blood have already had one child with the disease. The woman is now pregnant for a second time.

Assuming that both parents are heterozygous for the gene that causes the disease, what is the probability that the second child will also have the disease? Express your answer as a fraction using the slash symbol and no spaces (for example, 1/2).

Answer:

The probability that the second child will also have the disease is 1/16.

Explanation:

<u>Available data:</u>

  • Two genes independently inherited: one for blood type, the other for disease
  • Man with type A blood  x  Woman with type B blood
  • Both parents are heterozygous for the gene that causes the disease; Dd

If the man has A blood, and the woman has B blood, and they already have an affected child, this means that they must be heterozygous for blood type too.

Describe what happens when you click on the chromosomes during telophase I.
Dimas [21]

Answer:

Telophase can be described as the phase in which there are complete haploid set of chromosomes. The chromosomes have two sister chromatids. A cleavage furrow is formed from the centre of the cell which divides the cell into two parts. Telophase is the final stage of the process of division of a cell.

Cytokinesis can be described as a process by which the cytoplasm between the two new daughter cells separate.

Based on your readings about Bt corn, express your opinion about whether or not farmers should continue planting Bt corn. Explai
nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

Although it is controversial topic, it is not a recommended practice among socienty to cultivate BT corn when alternative methods of increasing plant yield are already available. On the other hand, scientists are encouraging more research on genetically modified (GM) solutions with lesser/reduced impact on ecosystem.

Explanation:

Although, cultivating BT corn helps improving the yield, reduce insecticides usage, and enhance the grain quality, it has been extensively debated to reduce this practice globally. This is because of severals reasons. At first, cultivation of BT corn affects non-target organisms that interact with the plant for symbiotic or neutral reasons including pollination. Due to genetic modificaitons, BT corn produce BT-proteins that kills the non-target organism. Secondly, it increases the insect resistance and those insects which survives even after chewing plant tissues of BT-corn, they are found to have resistance against several toxins at high doses. Once these chemicals enters the food chain, they could be extremely toxic to other naturally growing organisms.

Prince Charles stated that use of GM plants is disaster and should be banned immediately. Likewise, he said that it is also impacting the climate change. On the other hand, Prof. Smith showed a contradictory opinion and said that the views of Prince Charles are saddening. He is seeing the one sided picture only. He should ask for extensive research rather discouraging this aspect of modern science.

In my opinion, I would also say that the technology should be improved and make more eco-friendly rather than complete abolishing especially when the apparent benefits are greater than the harmful effects.
