Answer:

1/6

Explanation:

Assuming the disorder is not sex linked, Charles is a carrier so he will be Ff.

His wife Elaine can be a carrier or not because her parents must have been both Ff

Possible F1 generation for her was FF, Ff, Ff and ff. She does not have the disease.

Therefore the total chance of her having FF was 1/3 whereas Ff will be  2/3

Probability of the kid having the disease will be calculated by;

(2/3×1/4) +(1/3×0)= 1/6

A) electrical energy.

B) mechanical motion.

C) heat and light energy.

Explanation:

Chemical energy in the wood is lit up by fire and a burning process begins to occur. Burning involves a substance being consumed by fire and fire aids in the conversion of some forms of energy to mainly light energy as a result of the burning flames and also to heat energy as a result of the high temperature in the form of heat which the fire brings into play.

This validates the stored chemical energy in the logs being changed into light and heat energy.
