romanna [79]

Answer:

d. The pH of the beaker`s contents will decrease.

Explanation:

Since the new substance is an acid and has a very low pH, that is 1. it will reduce a little bit the pH of the original base (NaOH). Some ions of hydrogen of the acid are going to react with the hydroxyl group of the sodium hydroxide to form water.

Since the differences of the volume is big, only a small part of the base is going to be neutralize, but at the end, the final pH of the solution is still going to be a base.

Hope this information is useful.

Suppose that the pedigree shown in the transparency is for a trait caused by recessive allele.is it possible to infer from the p

kicyunya [14]

As we can see in the pedigree, both of the parents do not possess the trait, but one of the four offspring (marked with red) is expressing the trait.
Since the trait is recessive, the only way that is possible that the parents who do not possess the trait to have the offspring with the trait is that the parents are heterozygous for the trait. Meaning that both of the parents have one dominant allele and one recessive allele.
