Answer:

X-linked recessive inheritance

Explanation:

Since the disease is primarily present in males vs females, it is a s.ex linked disease.

In X-linked recessive inheritance, males tend to get disease b/c they only have one x (the other is y) which means if they get the bad "x" copy from mom then they definetely will get the disease.

Females can be carriers b/c they are XX. If they get a good copy from mom and suppose a bad copy from dad, they can still be healthy b/c the good copy is dominant. They will be carriers (cuz they have the bad copy) but themselves wont have the disease.

rodikova [14]

Answer:

The correct answer would be

  • Concave lens for nearsightedness
  • Convex lens for farsightedness

Nearsightedness or myopia is a condition in which a person can see the nearby objects clearly but is unable to see the objects present at a farther distance clearly.

It is usually caused due to elongation of the eyeball or when the lens becomes too curved.

It can be corrected by using a concave or diverging lens of appropriate power.

Farsightedness or hyperopia is a condition in which a person can see the distant objects clearly but is unable to see the nearby objects distance clearly.

It is usually caused due to shortening of the eyeball or when the lens loses its curvature.

It can be corrected by using a convex or converging lens of appropriate power.

if an element has a half-life of 30 million years and there is 12.5% of it remaining in a rock, how old is that rock
Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

The half-life of a substance is the amount of time it takes for half of that substance to decay. However, after two half-lives, half of the half remaining will decay, leaving you with one quarter of the original substance.

So, after 1 million years you will have 50% of the original substance remaining.

And, after 2 million years you will have 25% of the original substance remaining.

After 3 million years you will have 12.5% of the original substance remaining.

And after 4 million years you will have 6.25% of the original substance remaining.

Explanation:

Hope it helps:)
