Tongue-curling in humans is a dominant genetic trait.

a) suppose a man who is Tt for tongue-curling marries a woman who is also Tt for this trait. What are the possible genotypes and phenotypes of the offspring? What is percentage chance of each type?

        T               t

T      TT            Tt

t       Tt              tt

Roughly 1/4 of their offspring will not have the tongue-curling gene. The possible genotypes are TT(Has), Tt (Has), tt (Doesn't have)

-Genotypes: 25% TT, 50% Tt, 25% tt.

-Phenotypes: 75% have the trait for tongue curling, the other 25% do not have the trait for tongue curling.

-Percentage change of each type: 25% TT (homozygous dominant), 50% Tt (heterozygous), and 25% tt (homozygous recessive).

Explanation:

So to calculate the probably of off spring, we usually make a Punnett square.

Since a Tt man marries a Tt woman, they produce "offspring" (babies) that look like this in a Punnett square:

TT Tt

Tt tt

Looking from this Punnett square, we have one that is TT, two that are Tt, and one that is tt, a total of four. Your genotypes are the genetical traits, so out of the four, you take a percentage and calculate the genes: 25% TT, 50% Tt, and 25% tt. Your phenotypes are your physical traits, so 75% will have the "tongue-curling" trait as the trait T is dominant in three of them (TT, Tt, and Tt), and the other 25% will NOT have the trait.

1: most common garden plants prefer loam — soils with a balance of different-sized mineral particles (approximately 40% sand, 40% silt, and 20% clay) with ample organic matter and pore space. however, some plants grow better in sandy soils, while others are well-adapted to clay soils.

2: available water capacity is the maximum amount of plant available water a soil can provide. it is an indicator of a soil's ability to retain water and make it sufficiently available for plant use. available water capacity is the water held in soil between its field capacity and permanent wilting point.

3: it is the same for all living things (plants and animals). it also includes very tiny organisms that our eyes cannot see. they are known as microorganisms, and include viruses, bacteria and fungi.
