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.

What advantages are there for larger organisms to subdivide themselves into cells
WINSTONCH [101]

Cell division occurs in all living organisms. This is known as mitosis.

The advantages of a larger organisms to subdivide themselves into smaller cells is that as all organisms grow, some of their cells die or get damaged with time and need replacements. So,it divides into smaller cells because when a cell becomes large, it demands more of cell places of its DNA. If the cell grows too large, it will have trouble moving enough nutrients and wastes across the cell membrane. So to grow properly the cells need to be divided.

Explain how ligand A and ligand B can cause identical cellular responses in a cell?
Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

Ligand A and ligand B can cause same cellular responses in a cell when they are attached to different receptors.

Explanation:

If two same ligands are attached to two different receptors, two different responses will occurs. Such type of response is present in acetylcholine, while when two different ligands attached to two different receptors, same response will occur. This type of response is present in glucagon and epinephrine etc. ligands are responsible for controlling the transcription process when it binds or attached to the DNA molecule of the cell.
