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

Witch step of cellular respiration will not take place in the absence of oxygen
Over [174]

The answer is; glycolysis

This process converts glucose molecule to pyruvate. It is an oxygen-independent pathway, unlike the Krebs cycle. Glycolysis occurs in the cell cytoplasm while the Krebs cycle (aerobic pathway) occurs in the mitochondria. In the presence of oxygen, the product of glycolysis, i.e pyruvate, is fed to the Krebs cycle.  If oxygen is unavailable the pyruvate is converted to lactate.

Bingel [31]

Answer:

Osmosis is a process in which molecules pass from semipermeable membrane.

Explanation:

Osmosis is a biological process. The solvent molecules pass through semipermeable membrane and then solute particles move through the membrane with the help of water. These molecules are not capable of passing through the membrane in absence of water.

after the brain receives information from the body's sensory receptors, what is the next step in responding to this information?
Bumek [7]

The sensory receptors refer to the portions of the nervous system, which sense variations in the external or internal surroundings. The sensory input can be in various forms, comprising taste, pressure, light, sound, pH of blood, or levels of hormones, which are transformed into a signal and are transmitted to the brain or spinal cord.  

In the sensory centers of the brain, the barrage of information is integrated and a response is produced. The response, that is, a motor output refers to a signal conducted towards organs via motor neurons, which then transforms the signal into some kind of action, like changes in heart rate, movement, discharge of hormones, and others.
