Imagine that you are a doctor in maternity ward. During your last shift, 20 babies were born. 10 had blue eyes, and 10 had brown

eyes. Remember genotypes are the two alleles given for each trait written with a letter . For this activity 8 - brown eyes b=blue eyes. Phenotypes are the physical appearance of the trait. Given the phenotypes, what are the possible genotypes for these babies?

Answer:

Imagine that you are a doctor in maternity ward. During your last shift, 20 babies were born. 10 had blue eyes, and 10 had brown eyes. Remember genotypes are the two alleles given for each trait written with a letter . For this activity 8 - brown eyes b=blue eyes. Phenotypes are the physical appearance of the trait. Given the phenotypes, what are the possible genotypes for these babies? The possible genotypes of these babies are Bb, Bb, bb, bb

Explanation:

Bb= Brown eyes babies

bb= blue eyes babies

from the above analogy, it is crystal clear that the babies are of equal genotypic number which reflects 10:10

The oil immersion objective is necessary to determine the morphology of prokaryotes
VLD [36.1K]
To clearly view the morphology of the prokaryotes, one needs a microscope with higher resolution i.e magnification of ×100. Use of oil for this purpose is important because it  reduces the refraction of light as it travels from air to glass. this process increases the resolution of the microscope making it possible to view morphology of bacteria.

In mammoths, assume that spotted skin (S) is dominant over non-spotted skin (s) and that wooly hair (W) is dominant over non-woo
lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

Genotypic and Phenotypic ratios → 1:1:1:1

  • 25% of the progeny is expected to be SsWw, exhibiting spotted skin and wooly hair, SsWw
  • 25% of the progeny is expected to be Ssww, exhibiting spotted skin and non-wooly hair, Ssww
  • 25% of the progeny is expected to be ssWw, exhibiting non- spotted skin and wooly hair, ssWw
  • 25% of the progeny is expected to be ssww, exhibiting non-spotted skin and non-wooly hair, ssww

Explanation:

<u>Available data</u>:

  • spotted skin (S) is dominant over non-spotted skin (s)
  • wooly hair (W) is dominant over non-wooly hair (w)
  • Cross: heterozygous spotted, non-wooly mammoth with a heterozygous wooly-haired, non-spotted mammoth.

Parentals) Ssww   x   ssWw

Gametes) Sw, Sw, sw, sw

                 sW, sW, sw, sw

Punnett square)     Sw            Sw           sw           sw

                  sW      SsWw      SsWw      ssWw     ssWw

                  sW      SsWw      SsWw      ssWw     ssWw

                  sw      Ssww       Ssww       ssww      ssww

                  sw      Ssww       Ssww       ssww      ssww

F1) 4/16 = 1/4 = 25% of the progeny is expected to be SsWw, exhibiting spotted skin and wooly hair

    4/16 = 1/4 = 25% of the progeny is expected to be Ssww, exhibiting spotted skin and non-wooly hair

    4/16 = 1/4 = 25% of the progeny is expected to be ssWw, exhibiting non- spotted skin and wooly hair

    4/16 = 1/4 = 25% of the progeny is expected to be ssww, exhibiting non-spotted skin and non-wooly hair.

Genotypic and Phenotypic ratios → 1:1:1:1

Westkost [7]
The answer is D.
Homo naledi seems most likely to be a member of the genus Homo; however, its small brain size is regarded as a primitive hominin trait more reminiscent of australopithecus.
Homo naledi is an extinct species of hominin, which anthropologists first described in September 2015 and have assigned to the genus Homo.

Define groundwater, and list some anthropogenic (human) sources of groundwater pollution. Why do many scientists consider ground
joja [24]

Explanation:

Groundwater is the freshwater present below the earth's surface. It originates from the rain, ice, melting snow.

Some anthropogenic sources of groundwater pollution are

  • Aluminum.
  • Sulfur.
  • Arsenic.
  • Nitrates.
  • Fluoride.

Groundwater pollution has more problems than surface water pollution because groundwater is mostly hidden and it is very difficult to view, manage and monitor.

Groundwater holds its contamination and pollutants that cause pollution whereas surface water rinses their contamination and pollutants.
