Explanation:

Consider a stab wound in upper abdomen which has pierced through upper/ventral wall of stomach. This is what medically called as gastric perforation and requires emergency surgical management within 4 to 12 hours of injury. If left unattended the person will develope distension of abdomen with vomitting within 4 to 6 hrs, fever within 12 hrs, all because of infection spreading to rest of abdomen ( medically called Peritonitis). If no surgery is undertaken the person will die due to sepsis within 24 to 48 hrs.

Situation 2: stab would injuring major vessel or even liver will pool blood in abdomen ( medically Hemoperitonium) will further worsen the situation and wld need more intensive management. If not treated properly such person can die within 6 to 12 hrs due to hypovoluemic shock.

Consider the pedigree below. The circles represent females and the boxes, males. White color indicates a normal phenotype while
Natalija [7]

Hello. You forgot to show the pedigree image of that family. It is important that you always provide all the necessary information so that it is possible to answer your question the way you deserve.

The required image is attached below:

Answer:

  1. Generation 1: cc - CC
  2. Generation 2: Cc-Cc-Cc - CC
  3. Generation 3: Cc - Cc - cc
  4. Generation 4: cc - CC - cc - CC

Explanation:

As seen in the question above, dark colored circles or squares develop the cystic fibrosis disorder that is represented by the recessive "c" allele. While light colored circles and quads did not develop the disorder, but can carry the gene, if they present the heterozygous allele pair "Cc".

As we know, homozygous alleles are only phenotypically expressed if they are homozygous, that is, if they present the "cc" pair.

Thus, we can say that in the family shown in the figure below, generation 1 presents a person with the "cc" alleles and another with the "CC" alleles. The interbreeding between these two people, will generate an offspring totally "Cc", that although it has the gene responsible for the disorder, they will not present the disease because they are heterozygous.

According to the result of Generation 3, we can assume that a member of generation 2 (who possessed the Cc alleles) had a cross with an individual with the "CC 'alleles thus generating, generation 3, with two individuals of" Cc alleles. "or an individual from the" CC "allele and one from the" Cc "allele.

The generation 3 individual with the "Cc" allele also crossed with a "Cc" individual. As each member of the offspring receives an allele from each parent this cross would be:

Cc * Cc = CC - Cc- Cc - cc

Based on this, we can say that each member of the offspring would have a 25% chance of presenting the disease. As we can see in the figure below, two members of this offspring have inherited the "cc" alleles and have the disease.

Which of the following is the best modern definition of evolution?
Bogdan [553]

Answer:

c. fittest descent with modification  

Explanation:

Evolution can be defined, in a nutshell, as the process of variation and adaptation of populations over time, and may even cause the emergence of new species from a pre-existing one. In short, evolution is the process that gives rise to a fittest descent with modification. Thus, the great diversity of organisms present on our planet can be explained through this theory.

As we study evolution, we realize that the life forms we know today are not the same as those that lived thousands of years ago. This means that species have an evolutionary history and that many changes happen to them until there are the characteristics we observe today.

Species, therefore, are not fixed, have undergone changes throughout their history on the planet and continue to change. Man, for example, did not appear on earth as we see today, as there were several ancestral species.
