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.

B. meiosis. This process randomly rearranges the pairs of homologous chromosomes in formation of the sex cells. In addition, there is crossing-over of the chromatids while the homologous chromosomes are synapsed during meiosis I.

Starchy grain is dominant over sugary corn. If, in a cross between these types, 58 of the progeny are sugary, how many of the pr
DaniilM [7]

Let us solve first the phenotype of this problem.

Starchy grain = AA (dominant)

Sugary Corn = aa (recessive)

AA x aa = AaAa ; AaAa

<span>     A    A</span>

<span>a  Aa   Aa</span>

<span>a  Aa   Aa</span>

The result of the cross is that the progeny will become heterozygous.

<span>If there is 58 progeny sugary, there will also be 58 starchy. It is 50%.</span>

What microscope magnifies up to 100,000x
katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

electron microscope

Explanation:

An electron microscope is a microscope that uses a beam of accelerated electrons as a source of illumination. As the wavelength of an electron can be up to 100,000 times shorter than that of visible light photons, electron microscopes have a higher resolving power than light microscopes and can reveal the structure of smaller objects.

A student draws a fence with several gate as part of a model of cellular transport explain what defence indicates represent blam
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

The given question says that a student has constructed a model of cellular transport using fences and several gates.  

This model can be used to demonstrate the cellular transport.

The gates of the fences can be supposed as the protein pumps and the other fence demonstrates the lipid bilayer.  

Let’s suppose in the fence, there are many cattles, and outside, there are less cattles, but the student open the gate and bring more cattles inside the fence. In this case, the transport of the cattles is similar to the active transport of the molecules using protein pumps. At cellular level, the energy for the active transport is provided by ATP molecules.

Now, let’s say, the student wants to feed the cattles with some nutrition rich food, which can help in maintaining the health of the cattles. The student fills his car with the cattle food and he enters inside the fence through gates. In this case, the food was not present in the fence, but was abundant in the outside environment, so, the diffusion would occur. But food cannot come self, without help of others, so, the movement is facilitated by the car, as it is done by the carrier proteins. Hence, it is an example of facilitated diffusion.
