Answer:
A blood disorder involving lower-than-normal amounts of an oxygen-carrying protein.
Thalassemia is an inherited blood disorder characterised by less oxygen-carrying protein (haemoglobin) and fewer red blood cells in the body than normal.
The answer is D (probability)
Answer:
Organisms maintain dynamic homeostasis through behavioral and physiological mechanisms. Which of the following statements is an accurate explanation of a negative feedback mechanism used by animals to regulate body temperature? C) A ground squirrel's hypothalamus detects changes in environmental temperatures and responds by activating or suppressing metabolic heat production
Explanation:
The temperature-regulating center of vertebrate animals is located in the hypothalamus. A ground squirrel's in there detects changes in environmental temperatures and responds by activating or suppressing metabolic heat production. Maintenance of homeostasis usually involves negative feedback loops.
Answer:
Tongue-rolling is dominant, and both parents were heterozygous
Explanation:
Tongue rolling is a type of variation in human beings. When allelic genes are not identical as in Tt, the condition is referred to as heterozygous. An individual with such a genotypic condition is referred to as a heterozygote.
Both parents had a genotype of Tt and they could roll their tongues because T is dominant over the t gene.
T t
T TT Tt
t Tt tt
TT : Tt : tt
1 : 2 : 1
In a heterozygous parent Tt, the chance of producing T gamete from both parents is each 1/2 each. Similarly the chance of forming t gamete is 1/2. Therefore, the chance of gamete T and t fusing to get genotype Tt is 1/2*1/2=1/4.
The ratios of phenotypes are 3/4 will be able to roll the tongue and 1/4 will not be able to roll the tongue.
The mode of inheritance was monohybrid inheritance since one characteristic like tongue-rolling is controlled by a single pair of hereditary factors contributed by both parents.
