Cystic fibrosis shows autosomal recessive inheritance with an incidence of 1 in 2500. The unaffected brother of an affected girl is referred for genetic counseling. Assume that the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. Which of the following is correct?

#Unit 8. Inheritance Biology
  1. The probability that the brother is a carrier is 1/2.
  2. If the brother has a child with a healthy unrelated partner the probability that the child will be affected is 1 in 150.
  3. If the brother has a child with his first cousin the probability that the child will be affected is 1 in 12.
  4. If the affected sister has a child with her first cousin the probability that the child will be affected is 1 in 4.

Chloroplast movement is widespread among algae, mosses, and leaves of higher plants, what will be the orientation of chloroplast in dark as well as in light?

a.) In dark, chloroplasts gather at the cell surfaces parallel to the plane of the leaf so that they are aligned perpendicularly to the incident light

b.) Under high light, , the chloroplasts move to the cell surfaces that are parallel to the incident light, thus avoiding excess absorption of light

c.) the orientation of the chloroplasts in the dark is such that maximizes absorption of light

d.) the orientation of the chloroplasts in the high light is such that maximizes absorption of light
