61. Let us assume that hairy toes (hh) and brittle ear wax (ww) are both recessive traits in humans. In families of three childr

en where both parents are heterozygotes at both loci (they have smooth toes and sticky ear wax) what is the probability that the family will consist of one hairy-toed, brittle ear-waxed boy and two smooth-toed, sticky ear-waxed girls

The probability would be 81/32,768

<h3>Dihybrid crossing</h3>

Both parents are heterozygous at both loci, meaning that their genotype is HhWw.

Crossing two HhWw:

                  HhWw    x     HhWw

Offspring;

H_W_ - smooth toes, sticky earwax = 9/16

H_ww - smooth toes, brittle earwax = 3/16

hhW_ - hairy toes, sticky earwax = 3/16

hhww - hairy toes, brittle earwax = 1/16

Probability of a boy = 1/2

Probability of a girl = 1/2

Probability of having hairy toe, brittle earwax boy = 1/16 x 1/2

                                                                           = 1/32

Probability of smooth toe, sticky earwax girl = 9/16 x 1/2

                                                                        = 9/32

Probability of one hairy-toed, brittle ear-waxed boy and two smooth-toed, sticky ear-waxed girls = 1/32 x 9/32 x 9/32

                                    = 81/32,768

What is the first step in the life cycle of a plant that reproduces sexually?
coldgirl [10]

Answer:

The most appropriate answer would be A sperm cell fertilizes an egg cell.

In sexually reproducing organisms including plants, life starts as a single-celled zygote which is formed by the fertilization of sperm and egg.

The zygote then divides through mitotic division to form an embryo.

After fertilization In angiosperms, the ovule matures to form seed and ovary matures to form fruit.

In gymnosperms, zygote develops into a new sporophyte.
