    meaning their offspring as well will have partially similar DNA. If you were capable of producing 2 offspring and the relative was as well, it would be more beneficial to not save the relative as you can produce your own 2 offspring that are more genetically similar to you. However, if your relative can produce far more offspring than you it would be more advantageous to save them as they can spread DNA similar to yours much more than you would have been able to with your measly 2 offspring. Likewise

    set the parents’ alleles according to the information about Couple 2. 5. Again, set the number of offspring to the maximum of 6. Then, click the Cross button repeatedly until these parents have produced about 100 F1 offspring. What percentage of Couple 2’s male and female offspring will be color blind? The percentage of male offspring that will be colorblind is 10%. The percentage of female offspring that will be colorblind is 0%. Part C Couple 3 comes into your office. The husband is color blind;

    Both asexual and sexual reproduction results in offspring with [think of good topic sentence. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .]. Asexual reproduction results in offspring with identical genetic information, and sexual reproduction results in offspring with genetic variation. Asexual reproduction is a type of reproduction that creates uniform offspring. Asexual reproduction occurs mainly in single-celled organisms (organisms with one cell), and in a few multicellular organisms (an organism

    shear number of gametes and potential offspring produced by the plants. An increase in the number of hybridized offspring improves the chances that on or more of the offspring may produce non-sterile gametes, ultimately resulting in successful hybridization. Hybridization amongst animals is quite different when compared to that of the hybridization of plants. This is due to the fact that animals such as primates can only produce a limited number of offspring at a time. Causing a much slower rate

    The next row(F2 generation), shows us the offspring numbers of a male and female from the F1 generation. Those numbers give us a ratio of 1:1:1:1 of 1 wild male to 1 yellow male to 1 female wild to 1 female yellow. This tells us that there is around the same amount offspring for of each type of fly in the F2 generation. Table 2: Yellow Male x Wild-Type Female Generation Male Wild Male Yellow Female

    The Hardy Weinberg equation predicts that the p (dominant) and q (recessive) frequencies will both equal 0.5. By having the p and q values equal 0.5, this means there is a 50% chance the offspring will be heterozygous and have the p (dominant) and q (recessive) present in their genotype, and a 25% chance the offspring will be homozygous dominant or recessive and having either two p’s or two q’s in their genotype. The results in this simulation do agree. Although the p and q values are a little over

    parents did not have sickle-cell anemia, but his grandmother on his father’s side does, as well as his grandfather on his mother’s side. All of Sam’s siblings do not have sickle-cell anemia either. This piece of evidence proves my point that each offspring receives one allele from each parent. Sam’s parents both received a sickle-cell and non-sickle cell gene from their parents, so they each have one of each gene. Then they each passed their sickle-cell genes to Sam, so that is why he has sickle-cell

    such as diction, imagery, and metaphors, in order to reveal Bradstreet’s attitude towards her offspring/writing. Bradstreet begins her poem by adopting scathing diction. The author conveys her attitude through the usage of words like, “ill-form’d” and “raggs.” Bradstreet uses these words in order to help convey both how critical and masterful she is about her work. In addition, she writes, “[The] offspring of my feeble brain.” In this line, Bradstreet emphasizes the notion of been unsatisfied. The

    The animal kingdom often favors offspring who are fully capable of taking care of themselves at an early age (Poo and Bickford, 2014). However, parental care has evolved in species where offspring heavily benefit from it. One group of amphibians that enacts in various forms of parental care in efforts to increase the survival of offspring is the anurans. Anurans exhibit over eight forms of parental care in which is represented by the many species of frogs present in the world (Poo and Bickford, 2014)

    see if it poses a greater risk for marijuana use in their offspring. Children who are born to teenage mothers that use marijuana have shown to a correlate with sexual behavior at an earlier age and pregnancy. Statistics have shown that young mothers are more likely to use marijuana than older mothers. A pattern of marijuana use by teenage mothers has shown to impact different behaviors associated with early pregnancy in their offspring. Methods Participants The study looked at preexisting
