Answer:
The correct answer is - option C.
Explanation:
CFTR is a short form of cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator protein which is caused by a recessive mutation in this protein. This mutation results in the accumulation of mucus in secretory organs.
As the disease is a recessive disease, for the mutant phenotype to expressed both copies of the allele required to be recessive.
The mother is negative for the CFTR. Hence, she will not transfer the mutant allele to her child So, the child would have a wild-type phenotype even if the father having two copies of recessive allele.
Thus, the correct answer is - option C.
Answer:
A scientific hypothesis can be described as a tentative statement which can either proved to be right or wrong through the support of the experiments being performed.
The possible hypothesis for the theory that Wood Thrush decreases are not due to deforestation can be as follows:
<em>'If the population of the Wood Thrush is not affected by deforestation, then the population of the Wood Thrush will remain the same when deforestation occurs in a particular area.' </em>
An independent variable is a variable which change is not affected by that of another variable. By process of elimination you can take out B and C. An independent variable can also change so that takes out A. That leaves D.
