For a student to have inherited left handedness from parents who are both right handed, it means that the left-handed trait is recessive in both parents.

The pattern of inheritance of handedness can, thus, said to be simple dominant/recessive with the right handedness trait being dominant while the left handedness is recessive.

Let us assume that right-handedness is represented by the allele A and left-handedness by the allele a.

The two parents are heterozygous, hence, their genotypes each would be Aa.

                Aa   x   Aa

            AA   Aa   Aa   aa

From the cross, 3/4 of their children would be right handed (AA or Aa) while 1/4 would be left handed (aa). The student in question must have been from the 1/4.

Sholpan [36]

Answer:

The original water sample contains 830,000 cells per milliliter.

Explanation:

A sample of well water is tested for its bacterial content in a plate count assay. A one-milliliter sample of the water is diluted in a 1:10 dilution series. One milliliter of the fourth dilution tube is plated in a pour plate. After incubation, the plate has 83 colonies, indicating that the original water sample contained 830,000 cells per milliliter.

9. Look closely at the illustration above. a. What process is occurring? b. What is being made? c. How can you tell?
mars1129 [50]
The answers are:

A. DNA replication in the nucleus of a cell
B. From one helix of DNA in a replication process, we get two: The DNA is a double helix and it consists of two strands of specifically connected amino-acids. When the time for replication comes, a set of enzymes unwind the two strands and leave them as a base for additional two strands attaching to them - the green line is an example of that. The free nucleotides - adenine, guanine, thymine and cytosine are left open and the enzyme called DNA-polymerase helps to produce a new strand on the template of the old parental one (one of the blue ones in the picture) 
C. By the location on the smaller picture - replication takes place in the nucleus. And the most important hint are the letters A - adenine, G - guanine, T- thymine, and C-cytosine. A connects with T, and G connects with C.
