Answer:
C. "Because you have had one child with Tay-Sachs, you must each carry the allele. Any child you have has a 25% chance of having the disease
Explanation:
Tay-Sachs disease is an autosomal recessive disorder that means a child will acquire the phenotype or we can say disease only when both the alleles which cause disease are present in the child.
Here, in this condition neither parent has Tay-Sachs but they gave birth to a child who is suffering from the disease then it simply means that both the parents are carrier of this disease i.e. they both are heterozygous.
The cross and probability of healthy and diseased child is shown as under:
Mother Father
Parents Tt Tt
/ | | \
Off-springs TT Tt Tt tt
<u>Out of these 4 probable off-springs only 3 with genotype TT, Tt & Tt will be healthy while the 1 with genotype tt will be diseased.</u><u> </u><u>So, the probability of diseased child is 1/4 which is 25%. </u>
Also, the birth of children is an independent event so if one child has already been born with this disease then it doesn't mean that the next 3 children will be healthy for sure i.e. birth of first child cannot influence the next child. In short we can also say that in the next birth, there is still 25% chance of the child being born with this disease because previous birth has nothing to do with next birth.
Answer:
Population size of elk increased while the population of aspen tree declined.
Explanation:
As per question, removal of wolves from the system would result in increased elk population due to absence of its predator (wolves). The increased elk population would extensively feed on shrubs and trees like aspen and cottonwood trees. This would cause decline in population size of these shrubs and trees.
Nitrofurantoin is antibiotic drug commonly used to treat urinary tract infections in pregnant women because of its safety and effective use (the body quickly filters it out). It is not recommended to be used in late pregnancy due to the potential risk of hemolytic anemia in the newborn.
But, recent studies suggested that there is a possible association between congenital malformations following exposure to nitrofurantoin during the first trimester of pregnancy.

Answer:columnar describes cell shape.
Simple describe the number of layers
Explanation: epithelial tissues are one of the four major tissues of the body.the others being nervous, muscular, connective tissues.
Epithelial tissues are made up of thin cells that cover the external and internal surface of the body.
The cells may form one layer or more and they occur in several shapes.if they form one layer ,it is called simple.if they form several layers,it is called stratified.
Some are called pseudo-stratified because the cells occur with varying lengths and give the impression of stratified but they are actually made up of one layer.
Simple columnar epithelium is a single layer of tall, closely packed cells. They possess cellular extensions ,such as microvilli in the small intestine, or the cilia in the female reproductive tract.
