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.
Drag the correct label to the appropriate location in the table. Not all labels will be used.

Answer:

Based on the exercise data we know that the couple genotype for red-green color blindness is:

(XY     x     X'X')

     X'        X'

X    X'X      X'X

Y   X'Y      X'Y

And the genotypes for widow's peak are:

  (Aa   x  aa)

5. How does water reach the leaves from the root? A) Stomata B) Xylem C) Phloem D) All of the above

Answers

Answer:

B.Xylem

Explanation:

Xylem transports water in plants. Water is absorbed from the soil through root hair cells. Water moves by osmosis from one root cell to another until it reaches the xylem. It is transported through the xylem vessels up the stem to the leaves. It evaporates from the leaves (transpiration).
