In man, hitchhiker's thumb is domiant to a straight thumb, and brown eyes is dominat to blue eyes. If a man that has a straight

thumb and brown eyes in the heterozygous form marries a woman that is heterozygous for hitchhiker's thumb and blue eyes, what is the chance that one of their children will have a straight thumb and blue eyes?

Answer:

25%

Explanation:

T = Hitchhiker's thumb

t = straight thumb

B = Brown eyes

b = blue eyes

The man's genotype is ttBb

The woman's genotype is Ttbb

Make a dihybrid punnett square to find the possible genotypes of the offspring

ttbb is straight thumb and blue eyes. There are 4 out of 16 genotypes with this phenotype so:

Divide 4 with 16 and multiply by 100 to get the percentage of offspring with that phenotype

4 ÷ 16 = 0.25

0.25 × 100 = 25%

Hunter-Best [27]

In identical twins, alleles are identical and the order of the bases on the interior of the DNA molecule is identical (Options C and E). It is because genetic material is identical.

<h3>What are identical twins?</h3>

Identical twins refer to individuals produced by the same zygote cell, i.e., they are monozygotic twins.

Since these individuals are produced by the same zygote cell, their genetic material (DNA) will be identical.

Identical twins are useful to understand the exact role of genetics and environment in a given phenotypic trait.

Why is it important to use a weakened virus in a vaccine?
PolarNik [594]

If you used a full active virus, that defeats the point of a vaccine. You will trigger your immune response, but since you would just be injecting the virus, it will make you sick, and your body will be less effective at fighting the pathogens.

Viruses in vaccines are weakened, so they essentially will not "fight" back. They most importantly just contains the antigen markers so the body can trigger the immune response, quickly eradicate the pathogen, and build up the memory cells to that virus.

Injecting a virus that is not weak will just be the same thing as if you got the virus, you will likely get sick.

daser333 [38]
Metaphase is the stage in which the "crossing over" occurs.


As we know chromosomes carry genetic information. This crossing over process happens in eukaryotic cells and occurs during the mitosis phases of cell division.

Which of the following is the correct sequence of events for muscle contractions?a) motor neuron action potential, meurotransmit
alexandr402 [8]

The answer is; A

When an impulse from the motor neuron reached the neuromuscular junction,  the voltage-dependent calcium channels are activated and the neurotransmitter released from the presynaptic cleft. When the neurotransmitter binds to their receptors on the sarcolemma, the muscle fibers become depolarised; the calcium is released from their vesicles. The Ca2+ ions are important in the power stroke because they bind to troponin. Upon binding calcium, troponin moves tropomyosin away from the myosin-binding sites on actin. Powered by the energy from ATP molecule,  the myosin is able to bind on the actin and slides over the actin filament.
