Concept explainers

Communication

Communication is a method of transferring information between two persons or organisms. Communication is possible using mutually understood behaviors such as signs, symbols, or language. In the year 1980, S. F. Scudder proposed communication theory. According to his ideas, all living beings on the earth communicate, but the methods of communication differ. Communication skills are now part of soft skills.

Question

Definition Definition Observable physical traits or characteristics of an organism, which are determined by its genetic makeup (genotype) as well as environmental factors. These traits can include anything from eye color or height to behavior or disease susceptibility. Understanding an organism's phenotype is important in fields such as genetics, medicine, and ecology.

In humans, brown eyes (B) are dominant over blue. A brown eyed man marries a blue-eyed (b) woman and they have three children two of whom are brown-eyed and one of whom is blue-eyed. if blue is recessive, what must the woman’s genotype be?
Skin color in humans is determined by polygenic inheritance, which means the more dominant alleles there are, the darker the skin color will be. A medium-toned skinned woman (AaBb) has a child with another medium-toned skinned man (AaBb). What is the probability of them having a very dark-toned skinned child? (Hint: the genotype is homozygous dominant)
If a father has Marfan syndrome, a dominant disorder, and passes it down to all of his children, but his wife does not have the disorder, what would the punnett square between the father and mother look like? Why is this his genotype if all of his children had Marfan syndrome?
In humans, the allele for brown (B) eye color is dominant to the allele which causes blue (b) eyes. If a brown-eyed man, whose father had blue eyes marries a brown-eyed woman and the first baby of this couple has blue eyes, answer: What is the genotype of the man? What is the Genotype of the woman? What is the expected genotypic and phenotypic ratio among all possible children?
Imagine a cross between a man and a woman having the following genotypes: Genotype of the Husband Genotype of the Wife Aa bb Dd Gg Hh RR Tt X Aa Bb Dd gg Hh Rr Tt Assuming that the dominant allele in each gene pair exhibits complete dominance over the recessive allele, what is the probability that this couple would have a daughter who exhibits the recessive phenotype with respect to all seven of the gene pairs?
Marfan’s syndrome is an example of pleiotrophy where individuals with a copy of the dominant allele have skeletal disorders, mitral valve prolapse and characteristic slender, loose joints. If Abraham Lincoln had a marfanoid disorder which he inherited from his mother, what are the chances he passed this trait on to his offspring? Consider that Mary Todd Lincoln, his wife, was 5’2”. please include a punnett square
