This would be a recessive disease.

Father is dd
Mother is Dd (has to be because one child has the disease)

Parents cross is dd x Dd which gives rise to Dd (0.5) and dd (0.5). Each time they have a child they have a 50% chance of the child having the disease. In their case, only one of their 3 children is dd. The others though are carriers!

Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-E.

Explanation:

Chordae tendinae are the string-like structure in the heart which is composed of dense regular connective tissue called collagen and elastin proteins. They arise from the papillary muscles of the heart and branches out in the ventricle portion of the heart.

These play an important role in the closure of the AV valves to prevent the backward flow of the blood to the atria during ventricular contraction by holding cusps of the valve into the dome-shaped structure.

Thus, option-E is the correct answer.

How Neurons Work (1 of 3): Neuron Structure and Resting Potential (BioFlix tutorial)?
fiasKO [112]

 A neuron is nerve cells that transfer information within the body, chemically over short distances, using electrical signals over long ones.

   As it turns out, most resting neurons are permeable to Na+ and CL- as well as K+. K+ will try to drag the membrane potential toward its (positive) equilibrium potential, while NA+ try to drag the membrane potential to its negative equilibrium potential.

The real membrane potential will be between NA+ and K+ of equilibrium potential<span>. However, it will be closer to the equilibrium potential of the ion type with higher permeability.</span>
