The right option is; C. tides

Tides is the ocean movement that power plants use to produce usable energy.

Tides are the periodic change (rise and fall) of sea levels, particularly caused by the gravitational influence of the sun and the moon and the earth’s rotation. Power plants converts the kinetic energy derived from tides into usable form of energy particularly electricity. The tidal energy is considered as a renewable energy resource.The higher the tidal variation and tidal current velocities, the higher the ability of a site to generate tidal electricity.

Why do charged molecules have difficulty crossing a phospholipid bilayer?

jek_recluse [69]

The answer to this question would be because phospholipid is polar has a charge.

Since phospholipid is polar, it can attract molecule with a charge. That will cause the molecule cant move easily pass the membrane. The hydrophobic molecule doesn't have charge, so the molecule can pass through the phospholipid membrane if it small enough.

Adding and removing energy can change the physical properties of a substance.

postnew [5]

Answer: True.

Explanation: Energy is being removed from the substance as it changes state. As energy is added to the liquid, particles throughout the liquid move faster. Boiling. When particles move fast enough to break away from other particles, they evaporate and become gas.

the couple is also concerned about their child inheriting hemophilia, another rare disease, which is x-linked. natalie’s brother

IgorC [24]

Hemophilia is a recessive X-linked condition and is inherited from parents. . The probability that Natalie and Daniel’s first child has hemophilia is 1/4, not 1/8. The statement is false.

<h3>What is an X-linked gene?</h3>

When talking about sex-linked genes, we refer to all those genes located in one of the sex-chromosomes and not in the somatic ones.

X-linked genes are the genes located specifically in the X sex chromosome.

Traits coded by these genes are inherited. This is, X-linked genes are transmitted from parents to children through generations.

According to this, X-linked genetic disorders will be inherited as well.

Men have a high probability of being affected since they only have one copy of the X chromosome.

In women, the effect of the mutation might be musk in heterozygous state if the mutation is recessive.

Hemophilia is a recessive X-linked disorder, which means it is coded by the recessive allele.

X+ ⇒ X chrosomosome with Dominant allele

X- ⇒ X chrosomosome with Recessive allele

Genotype Phenotype

X+X+ Healthy woman

X+X- Healthy carrier woman

X-X- Hemophilic woman

X+Y Healthy man

X-Y Hemophilic man

Let us make a pedigree of these families,

Natalie's family:

Mother healthy carrier X+X-

Father healthy X+Y

Brother hemophilic X-Y

Natalie Healthy X+X- or X+X+

Natalie has 1/2 chances of being carrier X+X- and 1/2 of being X+X+.

Daniel's family:

Mother healthy carrier X+X-

Father hemophilic X-Y

Sister hemophilic X-X-

Daniel Healthy X+Y

He has 1/2 chances of being healthy X+Y and 1/2 of being affected X-Y.

According to the product probability rule, if events A and B are independent from each other, the probability of occurrence of both events together is

P(A∩B) = P(A) x P(B)

In this case,

event A is Daniel being affected ⇒ 1/2
event B is Natalie being carrier ⇒ 1/2

P(A∩B) = P(A) x P(B) = 1/2 x 1/2 = 1/4

The probability that Natalie and Daniel’s first child has hemophilia is 1/4, not 1/8. The statement is false.
