Summary Introduction

To analyze:

What are the chances of a child with a straight hairline and attached earlobes if the individual from the previous conditions cross reproduces with another same genotype.

Introduction:

An organism can be homozygous dominant if it has two copies same dominant alleles and homozygous recessive if it has two copies of same recessive alleles. In the given case one of the parents has dominant alleles for widow’s peak and recessive alleles for attached earlobes. Another parent has dominant alleles for unattached earlobes and recessive alleles for the straight hairline.

"One of the symmetry breaking events in mouse gastrulation requires the amplification of Nodal on the side of the embryo opposite to the Anterior Visceral Endoderm (AVE). Describe one way by which Nodal gets amplified in this region." My understanding of this is that there are a few ways nodal is amplified though I'm not sure if this is specifically occurs on the opposite side of the AVE.  1. pronodal cleaved by protease -> active nodal 2. Nodal -> BMP4 -> Wnt-> nodal 3. Nodal-> Nodal, Fox1 binding site  4. BMP4 on outside-> nodal  Are all of these occuring opposite to AVE?
