Hair texture in humans is an example of incomplete dominance. If a man with curly hair has children with a woman with straight h

air, all the children has an intermediate texture that is wavy hair. What is the likely proportion of phenotypes in their children?

Answer:

100% wavy haired

Explanation:

Let the allele for curly hair texture be represented by C and the allele for for straight hair texture be c.

A man with curly hair will have the genotype CC.

A woman with straight hair will have the genotype cc.

Crossing the two in marriage:

CC   x   cc

Progeny: Cc, Cc, Cc and Cc.

<em>Recall that the hair texture gene exhibit incomplete dominance, meaning that heterozygous individuals have intermediate attribute - wavy hair.</em>

Hence, all the children will have wavy hair.

Answer:

100% Wavy hair

Explanation:

The gene involved here codes for hair texture in humans. The alleles of the gene (straight, S and curly, s) exhibits incomplete dominance. Incomplete dominance is a genetic scenario whereby one allele does not completely mask the expression of the other allele, instead an intermediate phenotype that is heterozygous is formed.

In this case, a man with curly hair (ss) marries a woman with straight hair (SS). The children from this cross will all possess a heterozygous genotype (Ss) and be phenotypically wavy-haired, since Incomplete dominance is exhibited by the gene. Therefore, 100% of the offsprings/children will have wavy hair phenotype.

The light reactions require the cooperation of 2 photosystems to power linear electron flow from h2o to NADP+.?
Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

Only Photosystem I  - 1, 5, 6

Only photosystem II - 3, 2

Both Photosystem I and II   - 4

Explanation:

Only Photosystem I  

a) Reduction of NADP+ -  uses light energy to convert NADP+ to NADPH2

b)  Reduction of electron transport chain between the two photosystems

c) Oxidation of electron transport chain between the two photosystems.

Only photosystem II

a)  Oxidation of water - here the absorbed light energy is used to dissociate of water molecules to produces protons (H+) and O2 along with free ions

b)Reduction of primary electron acceptor - An electron is taken by pheophytin which is a primary electron acceptor molecule that is  located within photosystem II and hence it get reduced.

Both Photosystem I and II  

a) Light is absorbed in both photosystem I and II. While in photosystem I, light waves of large wavelength i.e 700 nm are absorbed, in photosystem II light waves of short wavelength of i.e 680 nm are absorbed.

Dennis_Churaev [7]
I would say the main term is myocardial infarction and the modifier is acute which means that it is serious but a discrete one time thing as opposed to a chronic condition like say arthritis that is usually with a person for many successive years rather than just occurring once.

<h2>Savanna & tropical rainforest</h2>

Explanation:

  • Savanna is a grassland biome which is found South America .it is a type of natural biome which is changes during seasonal pattern for examples- elephants,cheetahs, wildebeest
  • It is here and there found in mild atmospheres, for the most part in zones that are transitional zones among grassland and forests.
  • Tropical rainforests are forests in the tropics that get more than 100 crawls of precipitation every year.
  • This unbelievable species extravagance is expected to a great extent to the blend of a tropical atmosphere and high, all year precipitation, which gives ideal developing conditions to the biggest number of plant species.
  • The warm, wet conditions in the tropical rainforest cause quick disintegration of any waste, and on the grounds that daylight and water are abundant, any supplements discharged into the dirt are quickly utilized by the quickly developing vegetation, leaving the dirt incredibly poor thinking about the high efficiency of the biome as long as the backwoods stays flawless, supplements will rapidly burn through the environment.
