Achondroplasia shows autosomal dominant inheritance with complete penetrance. A man with achondroplasia has an unaffected partner of normal height. Their first two children are not affected. Which of the following is correct?

#Unit 8. Inheritance Biology
  1. The probability that their next child will be affected is 1 in 2.
  2. The probability that each of their children will be affected is less than 1 in 2 because the parents of the man with achondroplasia are not affected.
  3. The mother of these children has a sister with achondroplasia. This increases the risk that the children could be carriers.
  4. If their third child is unaffected, then the probability that their fourth child will be affected is 1 in 8.

Before oogenesis begins, the oogonium divides four times with incomplete cytokinesis, giving rise to 16 interconnected cells in drosophila. These 16 germline cells, along with a surrounding epithelial layer of somatic follicle cells, constitute the egg chamber in which the oocyte will develop. These germline cells include:

Photorespiration and the quantum yield differ between C3 and C4 photosynthesis, with changes particularly noticeable as temperatures vary quantum yield for photosynthesis as a function of leaf temperature in C3 plants and C4 plants. Following are some statements  based on this study.

 a.) In the C4 plants the quantum yield remains constant with temperature, reflecting low rates of photorespiration

 b.) At lower temperatures the quantum yield of C3 plants is higher than that of C4 plants

c.) C3 photosynthesis is more efficient at lower temperatures

 d.) At higher temperatures the quantum yield of C3 plants is higher  than that of C4 plants
