A woman and a man are both heterozygous for a recessive allele for a rare genetic disease. If they have one child, what is the probability that he or she will be affected? If they have two children, what is the probability that at least one of them will be affected?3/4, 7/16
1/4, 7/16
1/4, 3/4
3/4, 1/4
7/16, 1/4

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

Probability that at least one of them will be affected = 3/16 + 3/16 + 1/16 = 7/16

Explanation:

If both parents are heterozygous for a genetic disease; Xx and Xx

The offspring's they will produce will be as follows ; XX, Xx, xX, xx

  • Probability that first child will be affected = 1/4
  • Probability that first child will not be affected = 1 - 1/4 = 3/4
  • Probability that first child have it and second does not = 1/4 x 3/4 = 3/16
  • Probability that first child does not have it, second child have it = 3/4 x 1/4 = 3/16
  • Probability that both of them will have it = 1/4 x 1/4 = 1/16
  • Hence, Probability that at least one of them will be affected = 3/16 + 3/16 + 1/16 = 7/16

Which of the following is the functional unit of a myofibril? a. sarcomere
b. myofilament
c. sarcolemma
d. endomysium

Answers

Answer:

Sarcomere

Explanation:

Myofibril is the unit of the muscle cell. The myofibril is rod like in structure and developed by the process of myogenesis in embryo.

Sarcomere is the basic structural unit of the skeletal muscles and shows striations under the microscope. Sarcomere consists of thick and thin filaments of actin and myosin. Different bands like A- band , H-Band, I-Band and Z- line is visible in the sarcomere.

Thus, the correct answer is option (A).

What constitutes the majority of the debris found in the “garbage patch” located in the North Pacific Ocean?

Answers

Answer: plastic is the main constituent in the garbage patch found in North Pacific Ocean. It was estimated to be approximately 80 thousand tonnes or about 1.8 trillion pieces of plastic in the patch. A total of 1.8 trillion plastic pieces were estimated to be floating in the patch.

Plastic is most of the debris. 

Free-floating fishing nets make up another 10 percent of all marine litter, or about 705,000 tons, according to U.N. estimates.

Mycoplasma A. lack peptidoglycan.B. are the smallest free-living organisms.C. have sterols in their membranes.D. are killed by penicillin.E. lack peptidoglycan, are the smallest free-living organisms AND have sterols in their membranes.

Answers

Answer:

E. lack peptidoglycan, are the smallest free-living organisms AND have sterols in their membranes.

Explanation:

Mycoplasmas are also called pleuropneumonia-like organisms (PPLO) are the smallest free-living, prokaryotic organisms. They do not have a cell wall and is bounded by a plasma membrane which contains sterol.

Since cell wall is absent in them, they lack peptidoglycan. These are present in animals, plants, insects, soil and sewage. They grow better in the aerobic environment but can also live as facultative anaerobes.  

Mycoplasma cause infection, affects cell metabolism, gene expression.

Why can’t bears , tigers and lion live together

Answers

Because they would kill each other

Answer:

Bears, lions, and tigers all are predators that have similar hunting habits such as medium to large prey. Because of this, if they were living in the save environment, they would be competing for food and space. This would cause them to attack and kill off each other until one remained. That or the other two species would be driven out of the area.
