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 map shows the distribution of wild boars in the United States (shaded area).
fgiga [73]

Answer:

Regarding wild boar, the fact that is best supported by the evidence provided is wild boars have established successfully mostly in areas with warm climates.

Explanation:

The wild boar (Sus scrofa) is a mammal from Africa, whose capacity to adapt to the environment is high. However, it is usually found in warm climates where it has a good supply of water and food.

According to the description of its distribution on the map, the states where it is found —predominantly Texas, California and Florida— verify the fact that they can be found mostly in warm climates, where they have found an ideal environment for their development..

About the other options:

  • <u><em>Wild boars were brought to the United States by humans</em></u><em>.  This is true, but it is not a fact that can be deduced from the information on the map.</em>
  • <u><em>Wild boars have quickly spread through the United States</em></u><em>.  The map does not show this information.</em>
  • <u><em>Wild boars have a high reproductive rate and no natural predators</em></u><em>. The map does not show this information.</em>
