Red-green color blindness is due to an x-linked recessive allele in humans. a widow’s peak (a hairline that comes to a peak in the middle of the forehead) is due to an autosomal dominant allele. consider the following family history: •a man with a widow’s peak and normal color vision marries a color-blind woman with a straight hairline. the man’s father had a straight hairline, as did both of the woman’s parents. use the family history to make predictions about the couple’s children.

Chlorophyll is found in plant leaves and absorbs light from the sun to enable plants to perform photosynthesis. magnesium is an important component of chlorophyll. the concentration of magnesium ions is higher in the root-hair cells of plants than in the soil. which mechanism of ion uptake would best enable a plant to produce a steady supply of chlorophyll? osmosis diffusion passive transport active transport

The tasmanian devil, a marsupial carnivore, is facing extinction due to devil facial tumor disease (dftd) which causes bulging cancerous lumps and lesions to erupt around the face and neck — often causing enough deformation to make seeing or eating difficult. dftd has evolved into a contagious cancer, a trait that is unique among cancers. devil mating behavior involves biting around the head and neck, allowing cells from one individual — especially cells from the crumbly dftd tumors — to be transferred to the wounds or face of a new individual. this marsupial was once found across australia, but sea levels rose, isolating the tasmanian population, while the australian population went extinct. what would be an outcome of genetic isolation that is likely to have impacted the spread of dftd? a) reduced territory puts diseased individuals in greater contact with non-diseased ones. b) inbreeding results in less variation in facial features so the cancer is generally fatal. c) genetic isolation has made it difficult for scientists to develop a vaccine against dftd. d) the lack of genetic variation in the immune system of tasmanian devils minimizes resistance to the disease.
