Here are four children in the Smith family. One child has blue eyes and blond hair. The other three children have brown eyes and

blond hair. How can you explain this difference in eye color?

Answer:

    Human eyes offer an extensive and beautiful color palette. However, it is well known that eye color is mainly determined for genetic reasons.

   From the color of the parents' eyes to that of the great-grandparents, one can predict what color the eyes of their descendants will be. Nevertheless, you should never forget that there can always be some surprise.

   Certainly, you should know that every human being has two types of genes: dominant and recessive. Both influence the color of the eyes and hair of the individual.

   Dominant genes are the strongest, as they exert the most influence on determining the color of the baby's eyes. On the other hand, recessive genes are weaker but do not cancel each other out. This means that when chromosomes come together after fertilization, one allele will prevail over the other.

    Let's look at the case where the father has blue eyes and the mother brown eyes. In this circumstance, there would be little chance of the child having blue eyes, as the brown phenotype is dominant over blue.

In this case, both parents must have blonde hair & brown eyes & they both carry the recessive gene for blue eyes.

Father:

B b - offers dominant and recessive gene

Mother:

B b - offers dominant and recessive gene

Brown-eyed children

Would you use an observational, experimental, or modeling approach to study a rare, endangered bird species
son4ous [18]

Answer:

The correct answer would be - observational approach.

Explanation:

Observation approach is the research technique that involves the observation  of the subject or participates behavior in their natural habitat or state. This will be one of best approach to study.

Similarly when characterizing new findings various aspect of  experimental, Observational details or modelling approaches will help in identification , classification and nomenclature. However, in comparison to experimental and modeling approach is more appropriate method for the rare endangered species.

Thus, the correct answer would be - observational approach.

A fish maintains its depth in fresh water by adjusting the air content of porous bone or air sacs to make its average density th
Volgvan

Answer:

0.153

Explanation:

We know the up-thrust on the fish, U = weight of water displaced = weight of fish + weight of air in air sacs.

So ρVg = ρ'V'g + ρ'V"g where ρ = density of water = 1 g/cm³, V = volume of water displaced, g = acceleration due to gravity, ρ'= density of fish = 1.18 g/cm³, V' = initial volume of fish, ρ"= density of air = 0.0012 g/cm³ and V" = volume of expanded air sac.

ρVg = ρ'V'g + ρ"V"g

ρV = ρ'V'g + ρ"V"

Its new body volume = volume of water displaced, V = V' + V"

ρ(V' + V") = ρ'V' + ρ"V"

ρV' + ρV" = ρ'V' + ρ"V"

ρV' - ρ"V'  = ρ'V" - ρV"

(ρ - ρ")V'  = (ρ' - ρ)V"

V'/V" = (ρ - ρ")/(ρ' - ρ)

= (1 g/cm³ - 0.0012 g/cm³)/(1.18 g/cm³ - 1 g/cm³)

= (0.9988 g/cm³ ÷ 0.18 g/cm³)

V'/V" = 5.55

Since V = V' + V"

V' = V - V"

(V - V")/V" = 5.55

V/V" - V"/V" = 5.55

V/V" - 1 = 5.55

V/V" = 5.55 + 1

V/V" = 6.55

V"/V = 1/6.55

V"/V = 0.153

So, the fish must inflate its air sacs to 0.153 of its expanded body volume
