The basis of segregation of the community with the help of
Introduction:
In biology, segregation can be defined as during the gamete formation, the alleles get parted from each other and each allele pass in an individual gamete. Parting of one allele shows no effect on the other.

- Hello, please answer the following Biology question correctly based on the given answer choices. Please pick the correct "answer-letter" and explain your answer. Thank you. Biology Question: "In humans, widow's peak is dominant to a straight hairline, and free earlobes are dominant to attached earlobes. A couple who is heterozygous for both traits has kids. What is the probability that the first child will have a widow's peak hairline and attached earlobes?" Answer Choice Options: A - 1/16 B -  9/16 C -  1/4 D - 3/16arrow_forwardMonozygotic (identical) twins share all of the same DNA, yet have differences in appearance and behavior. Explain why this is, using the following terms correctly in your discussion: genotype, phenotype, multifactorial trait.arrow_forwardIn man, there is gradation in eye color and resulting to 9 phenotypes. These are (in order of the number of additive alleles): light blue, medium blue, dark blue, gray, green, hazel, light brown, medium brown, dark brown. Mr. A (dark brown eyes) and Mrs. A’s (light blue eyes) daughter, marries a man whose genotype is the same as herself. What is the probability that they could have: Dark brown eyed child? Hazel-eyed? What eye color is most likely to occur and what is its probability?arrow_forward
- A color-blind man fathers children with a woman who is not color-blind, but whose father was. What proportion of their male children are expected to colorblind? 50% of their sons will be color-blind 100% of their sons will be color-blind 0% of their sons will be color-blindarrow_forwardRefsum disease is a genetic disorder that is inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern. Individuals with adult Refsum disease do not have the enzyme to breakdown phytanic acid. As a result, phytanic acid accumulates in the brain, blood, and body tissues. As the disease progresses, individuals with Refsum disease experience loss of vision, hearing, and sense of smell, as well as balance and coordination problems.In a population, the frequency of the recessive allele for Refsum disease is 0.28. What is the expected frequency of the carriers in this population? Show all your work. Record your answer as a value between 0 and 1 rounded to two decimal places.arrow_forwardWhat is a dimorphism?   A trait with two distinct forms originating from the interaction of two alleles of a single gene  A trait with three or more distinct forms linked to multiple alleles of a single gene  A trait consisting of a continuous spectrum of forms influenced by the interaction of multiple genes and multiple allelesarrow_forward
- fill the 3 possible genetic combinations an organism can have - Homozygous Dominant - Homozygous recessive - Heterozygousarrow_forwardPlease read the scenario below and answer the question (in bold) that follows: In humans, the ability to roll one's tongue is a dominant trait (T). A woman who can roll her tongue is married to a man who cannot roll his tongue. The couple's daughter, Nia, can roll her tongue though their son, Michael, cannot.  If Nia were to (one day) marry a man who was heterozygous for the tongue-rolling trait, what percentage of their children would be able to roll their tongues?  a. 0%  b. 25%  c. 50%  d. 75%  e. 100% Marrow_forwardSince DNA sequences are passed down from one generation to the next, people with closer familial relationship tend to have more of their DNA sequences in common. As a result, people who are more genetically related tend to share some similar patterns in their DNA fingerprinting. If you are comparing samples, which of the following can be determined with DNA fingerprinting? Group of answer choices? right chances Which fraternal twin each sample came from Which identical twin each sample is from If the samples are from people who are married If the samples came from mother and child asap pleasearrow_forward
- Red-green color blindness in humans is caused by a recessive allele on the X chromosome. If a woman with normal vision, whose father is color blind, marries a color-blind male - what is the probability that this couple's son will be color blind? Options 1/4 1/2 3/4 1/3arrow_forwardIn giraffes, long neck is dominant to short neck. Long neck is denoted by the dominant allele, N, while short neck is denoted by a recessive allele, n. Write the genotype and phenotype for the following organisms: homozygous dominant organism, homozygous recessive organism, and heterozygous organism.arrow_forwardIn pre-DNA fingerprint days, blood type was often used in paternity disputes to exclude possible fathers. If the man in question has type B blood, and the child has type A blood, and the mother has type AB blood, can the man be the father of the child? Group of answer choices Yes, but only if he is homozygous for the B allele No Yes, but only if he is heterozygous for the B allele Yes, but only if both of his parents were Type ABarrow_forward
