Chloe’s mother wants to have another child. However, she is concerned that a second child might also have CF, so she encourages

Chloe’s stepfather to be tested. Tests reveal that he does NOT carry the CF gene. What is the chance that a second child born to Chloe’s mother and stepfather will have CF?

CF is a recessive type of disorder which means that both parents must carry the gene in order for the child to inherit the disease. If the child only inherits 1 copy of the affected gene, then the child becomes a carrier. Carriers do not manifests symptoms of the disease but they can pass the disease to their children.
With both parents as carriers, they will have the following chances: 50% carrier children, 25% affected child, and 25% normal child.

4. If index of refraction 1 is 1.5, index of refraction 2 is 2.0, and the angle of incidence is 45 degrees, what is the angle of
motikmotik

Answer: The angle of refraction is 32°

Explanation:

By snell law, we have that:

n₁*sen(θ₁) = n₂*sen(θ₂)

Where n₁ = 1.5

n₂ = 2.0

θ₁ = 45°.

then we want to find the angle of refraction.

1.5*sin(45°) = 2*sin(x)

x = Asin(1.5*sin(45°)/2) = 32°

In what ways are autorhythmic fibers similar to and different from contractile fibers?
Leto [7]
I think Autorhythmic fibers are fibers that are self excitable or on their own for example some cardiac muscle. They  repeatedly generate action potentials that trigger heart contractions.They continue to stimulate a heart to beat even when it is removed from the body. In comparison to contractile fibers, autorhythmic fibers are self excitable and do not require nervous system stimulation to trigger contractions. Contractile fibers have stable resting membrane potentials of -90mV, when a contractile fibers reaches threshold by action potential, the voltage gated fast sodium ions channels will open.

A pod of bottlenose dolphins is showing signs of stress in the Gulf of Mexico. Why would it be important for scientists to study
anyanavicka [17]
<span>Age structure would help scientists determine if the problem exists with young or old dolphins.

The age structure shows the distribution of the ages of the individuals in a population. This not only shows the type of change taking place in the population (increasing, decreasing or staying the same) but also is able to help us relate problems to ages. By determining the which age group is more stressed, the scientists will be able to narrow down the causes of the stress and create more accurate hypotheses.

Which factor does not greatly influence the rate of
jonny [76]

Answer:

a. transcription

Explanation:

<em>Sugar transport in phloem is referred to as pressure flow and it involves the movement of sugar through the phloem vascular tissue from the regions where sugar is synthesized (by photosynthesis) to other parts of the plant's body that require sugar.</em>

The parts of plants where sugar is synthesized (usually the leaf) is known as sugar source while the parts where they are transported is referred to as the source. Sources are usually areas of of high osmotic concentration and high water pressure while sinks are usually areas of low osmotic concentration and low water pressure.

<em>Hence, sugar transport in the phloem can be said to be influenced by the rate of sugar production at the source (rate of photosynthesis), turgor pressure as well as sugar concentration in sinks and sources.</em>

The only option that has no known effect on sugar transport in the phloem is transcription.

The correct option is a.

1 Explain how substances are transported into and out of cells through diffusion, osmosis
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

Dissolved or gaseous substances have to pass through the cell membrane to get into or out of a cell. Diffusion occurs when particles spread. ... They move from a region where they are in high concentration to a region where they are in low concentration.
