Galactosemia is an inherited disorder in humans. A person with the disorder cannot digest the sugars in milk. The allele for normal digestion (G) is dominant; the allele for galactosemia (g) is recessive. A female who is heterozygous for the galactosemia trait and a male who has galactosemia have a child. In your response, be sure to: Identify the genotypes of the mother and father
Answers
Answer:
This question is incomplete, the remaining part of the question is:
" Explain how this disorder can be passed on in the family. In your response, be sure to: Identify the genotypes of the mother and father"
Please find the explanation below
Explanation:
According to this question, the Galactosemia trait is an inherited disorder in humans that causes inability to digest the sugars in milk. The allele for normal gene (G) is dominant over the allele for galactosemia (g). This means that a heterozygous human (Gg) will not be normal (no galactosemia).
In this family, female who is heterozygous for the galactosemia trait (Gg) and a male who has galactosemia (gg) have a child. Note that each parent will produce gametes as follows:
Gg - G and g gametes
gg - only "g" gametes
To inherit this disorder or for the parents to pass on this disorder to their child (children), they have to both contribute the allele for galactosemia (g) in their gametes to produce a child that has two galactosemia alleles in his/her genotype i.e. gg
This means that in this cross (see attached image), the probability of their child to have the disorder is 1/2 or 50% while the probability of having a normal child is also 1/2 or 50%.

A. Genotype
B. Phenotype
C. Chromosome
D. Allele
Answers
Answer:it’s genotype
Explanation:
A. Genotype
Genotype of an organism refers to its genetic makeup. By genetic makeup, it is meant that the genes responsible for specific traits that are inheritable. Genes in an organism are often in alternate versions called ALLELES.
Two or more ALLELES make up a gene. Hence, all the alleles of an organism refers to that organisms GENOTYPE. According to this question, the specific combination of versions of genes (ALLELES) that an organism has inherited is a GENOTYPE.

Genotype ratio = 1:2:1
2. Phenotype ratio = 4:0
Genotype ratio = 4:0
3. Phenotype ratio = 1:1
Genotype ratio = 1:1
Explanation:
According to this question, a gene coding for tallness is involved. The allele for tallness (T) is dominant over the allele for shortness (t). The phenotype and genotype ratio of each parental combinations is given in the attached punnet square.
1. Tt × Tt
In this cross, both parents (Tt) will produce T and t gametes. Using this in a punnet square, the offsprings will be as follows: TT, Tt, Tt, and tt. Hence, The phenotype ratio is 3 tall: 1 short while genotype ratio is 1(TT): 2(Tt) : 1(tt).
2. TT × tt
In this cross, TT will produce T gametes while tt will produce t gametes. Using this in a punnet square, all offsprings will be heterozygous "Tt". Hence, The phenotype ratio is 4 tall: 0 short while genotype ratio is 4 (Tt) : 0 (tt).
3. tt × Tt
In this cross, tt will produce t gametes while Tt will produce T and t gametes. Using this in a punnet square, the following offsprings will result: Tt, Tt, tt and tt. Hence, The phenotype ratio is 1 tall: 1 short while genotype ratio is 1(Tt) : 1(tt).

Are large organisms such as redwood trees and elephant large because they contain extra large cells or just more standard size cells. Explain How
Answers
Answer:
Larger organisms have the same size cells as we do. They just have many more of them.
Explanation:
Hope this helps!
Due to their size, they contain more regular cells, which aids in the organism's functioning.
What is a cell?The smallest unit in biology that can sustain life on its own and makes up all living things as well as the body's tissues.
After using a very early microscope to examine a piece of cork, Robert Hooke proposed the name "cell" in 1665, derived from the Latin cella, which means "storeroom or chamber."
It is also claimed that he believed the rectangular spaces resembled some monastic cells.
The size of the cells is constant throughout all creatures. A rat's cells won't be bigger than an elephant's. Compared to the number of cells in a rat, it contains more cells. However, the cells are all the same size.
Thus, large organisms such as redwood trees and elephant large as they contain more standard size cells.

True. Plate tectonics in the movement of continents over the course of millions of years. This can affect both global and local patterns of climate and atmosphere-ocean circulation. The position of the continents determines the geometry of the oceans and therefore influences patterns of ocean circulation. The locations of the seas are important in controlling the transfer of heat and moisture across the globe, and therefore, in determining global climate.
