An object stays at rest unless some outside force acts on it. This is the first law of motion. The third law of motion states that for every action there is equal and opposite reaction. The law of conservation of energy states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed in a closed system. All these three statements are the known laws. They do not explain any phenomenon, rather they state what is universally true. Hence, they are not examples of scientific theories.

The statement that 'the species evolve by passing the advantageous traits' is an example of scientific theory as it explains the possible mechanism of evolution.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option B - Species evolved by passing the advantageous heredity traits'.

A normal man and normal woman marry. What is the chance that they will produce a male child with Down's syndrome?
nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

The chance of a normal couple having a child with down syndrome is 1 to 600 births.

Explanation:

Down syndrome is a genetic flaw that occurs when the fetus is being formed.

A human cell considered normal has 46 chromosomes, divided into 23 pairs. For some unknown reason, an error may occur at the beginning of embryonic development and an extra chromosome is created, which binds to par 21. The result is cells with 47 chromosomes. This causes the said syndrome.

It is important to know that this failure happens at random. It is nobody's responsibility. It has not been proven to date that lifestyle, actions during pregnancy, smoking, drinking, medicines, environmental factors or kinship between the couple can influence this occurrence. She is not contagious either. The likelihood of a normal couple having a child with the syndrome is approximately 1 to 600 births.

In a a person is assigned a status at birth and remains at that level throughout life.
alex41 [277]

Answer:

When a person is assigned a status at birth and must remain in it throughout his or her life, it is a caste system.

Explanation:

A caste system is applied in some societies and consists of the assignment of an individual to a social stratum by birthright, being forced to remain in that status and even relate to people of the same social category and allow endogamy.

It is a system that exists in ancient societies, an example being the Hindu caste system or South African apartheid. Other cultures that made use of the caste system were the Arab and Hebrew.

Unlike the caste system, the class system consists of inclusion in a specific social class, without the intervention of the birthright.
