Answer:

a) 3/16; b) 3/16; c) 1/16

Explanation:

PKU and albinism are two autosomal recessive disorders. The possible genotypes and phenotypes for each disease are:

<u>PKU</u>

  • PP: normal
  • Pp: normal
  • pp: PKU

<u>Albinism</u>

  • AA: normal
  • Aa: normal
  • aa: albinism

If a couple of individuals heterozygous for both genes (PpAa) has offspring, from the Punnett Square we get the chances of them having:

<h3>a) PKU only</h3>

ppA_: 3/16

<h3>b) Albinism only</h3>

P_aa: 3/16

<h3>c) both traits</h3>

ppaa: 1/16

A. multiply the chance that it will be a boy x the chance he will have PKU (1/2 x 1/4) 

<span>B. chance of having PKU + chance of albinism </span>

<span>C. chance PKU x chance albinism</span>

Which is the first step that geologists must do to compare rock layers at distant locations? 1.find the absolute age of rocks at
VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

2.compare a layer at one location to layers at other locations

Explanation:

Comparing rock layers in distant places can be a challenge for geologists since these layers may have different environmental factors that caused different transformations in them.

Therefore, when it is necessary to establish a comparison between layers of rocks in different ligands, geologists must establish steps to make an efficient comparison and have results consistent with reality. To do this, they must first compare a layer in one location with layers in other locations, assign relative age to a layer in one location, and identify index fossils in one or more layers in one location.

The fraction of offspring with black coat color and straight fur is 9/16.

Explanation:

Information given:

black coat colour and straight fur - dominant genotype BBCC, BbCc

yellow coat colour and curly fur - recessive genotype  bbcc

Both the traits are independently assorted. The fur colour and fur type is not present on the same chromosome and are not sex linked.

The genotype of the parents are:

BbCc X BbCc

Punnet square shows:

          BC           Bc          bC        bc

BC  BBCC   BBCc        BbCC   BbCc

Bc  BBCc   BBcc          BbCc    Bbcc

bC BbCC    BbCc         bbCC   bbCc

bc  BbCc      Bbcc         bbCc    bbcc

9 BLACK STRAIGHT

 3 BLACK CURLY

 3 YELLOW STRAIGHT

  1  YELLOW CURLY

9/16 is the fraction of progeny to be black coat colour and straight fur.

Why anatomical and molecular features often fit a similar nested pattern.in addition descibe a orocess that can cause this not t
Ivenika [448]
Anatomical and molecular features often fit a similar pattern due to Homology. Homology is the existence of shared ancestry between two structures or genes in a different species. 

A process that can cause this not to be the case is Convergent Evolution.
Convergent Evolution occurs when two unrelated species independently evolve similar traits to cope with evolutionary changes.

Which term best describes the macromolecule shown below? А monosaccharide В polysaccharide С amino acid D nucleic acid​
nadezda [96]

Answer:

B. Polysaccharide

Explanation:

A polysaccharide is a carbohydrate molecule made up of several units of monomers called monosaccharides linked together by glycosidic bonds. The monosaccharide is the simplest unit of a carbohydrate with the general formula, (CH2O)n.

However, the monosaccharides, which include glucose, fructose, galactose etc can link up by a bond to form a much larger carbohydrate molecule called POLYSACCHARIDE. As depicted in the image attached to this question, each ring is a monosaccharide, which becomes linked to one another to form a polymer called polysaccharide. Examples of polysaccharides are starch, glycogen, cellulose
