Each parent mixes the DNA of their parents before putting it in an egg or sperm.O B. Each parent only puts half of their DNA into each egg or sperm so together they make the same number as one adult has.O C. It doesn't. The amount of DNA in a child is always twice the amount as one of its parents because it got DNA from two parents.OD. The number of crossing over events is always an even number.

Paleontology

A branch of science concerning the scientific study of life from ancient times is known as paleontology. The scientists working on paleontology are known as paleontologists. Paleontologists collect the fossils of organisms from ancient times to classify them. The paleontologists also study the environment from ancient times to study the interactions between different organisms.

Question 6 Albinism is caused by an autosomal recessive allele that interferes with skin pigmentation in mammals. Two normally pigmented human parents already have an albino boy. They plan to continue to have children until they get a girl. Some or all of this information is important for each of the questions below. a) What is the probability that their next child (currently unborn) will be a girl with albinism? Explain your reasoning. b) What is the probability their first female child will be albino? Explain your reasoning. c) The answer to part (b) is different (and, yes, the answer is different) from the answer to part (a). Explain why. (Hint: it has something to do with the underlined words.)
