For a student to have inherited left handedness from parents who are both right handed, it means that the left-handed trait is recessive in both parents.

The pattern of inheritance of handedness can, thus, said to be simple dominant/recessive with the right handedness trait being dominant while the left handedness is recessive.

Let us assume that right-handedness is represented by the allele A and left-handedness by the allele a.

The two parents are heterozygous, hence, their genotypes each would be Aa.

                Aa   x   Aa

            AA   Aa   Aa   aa

From the cross, 3/4 of their children would be right handed (AA or Aa) while 1/4 would be left handed (aa). The student in question must have been from the 1/4.

AysviL [449]

Answer:

Frequency of B allele is 0.6681

Explanation:

If p represents the frequency of dominant allele and q represents the frequency of  recessive allele, according to Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium:

p + q = 1

p² + 2pq + q² = 1

where p² = frequency of homozygous dominant genotype

q² = frequency of homozygous recessive genotype

2pq = frequency of heterozygous genotype

Given that number of recessive chestnut horse = 28

Total horses = 226 + 28 = 254

frequency of b² genotype = 28/254 = 0.1102

frequency of recessive b allele = √0.1102 = 0.3319

So, frequency of B allele =

1 - 0.3319 = 0.6681

Hence frequency of B allele is 0.6681

The order of the stages of primary succession beginning with glacial retreat as seen at glacier bay, alaska, are ________.
gavmur [86]
Primary succession takes place when barren land is exposed and made available for plant growth.

The first step is the retreat of the glacier. Next, pioneer species begin to inhabit the exposed land. These species include lichens and they break down rocks and create soil. Some years later, more complex plants start growing in the soil and insects also begin to inhabit it. The remains of all of these organisms add nutritional value to the soil. As soil thickens, more complex plants and animals inhabit the region, until finally, the soil is thick enough for entire forests to grow.

olga_2 [115]
A cell is a living structure. It is made by process of cellular reproduction. It dies because of various activities inside or outside the cell. That is why we can say that a cell has life span and it dies too.

Hope it helps ...
