Answer: the child's phenotype will be normal.

The child will acquire that disease.

Explanation:

The mitochondrial DNA is a small circular chromosome that exists in the mitochondria. The mitochondria is the power house of the cell and all its 37 DNA are essential for a normal function of the mitochondria. the mtdna is passed directly from the mother (through the egg cell) to the child either a male or female but the son cannot pass his mtdna to his child. Thus, if a man with this disease marries a woman not affected, the child's phenotype will be normal. But if the wife has the disease, this willl be passed from her to her child me it a male or female.

The tracing of uterine activity measured with a solid-tipped intrauterine pressure catheter (IUPC) depicts no contractions. Howe
andreyandreev [35.5K]

The tracing of uterine activity measured with a solid-tipped intrauterine pressure catheter (IUPC) depicts no contractions. However, you are palpating contractions that are strong in intensity with a frequency of every 3 minutes and a duration of 60 seconds. A possible cause for this finding is (select an answer): The connections to the system are not connected.

An IUPC counts the number, length, and force of contractions. During palpations peaks of strong intensity is recored.As in this case IUPC seems to be not connected as its near impossible to get no contractions when palpation are high.

And one unit is the amount of pressure required to raise a mercury column by one millimetre. The intensity of the contraction is assessed from the baseline (when the uterus is relaxed) to the rise of the contraction and is recorded in units. According to studies, after spontaneous labour, 200 units of contractions per 10 minutes are typically sufficient for vaginal birth.
