The allele for tay-sachs is a recessive allele that causes death in early childhood. The tay-sachs' prgram has enabled Tim McGra

Answer:

There are no chances for this couple to have a child with Tay-Sachs disease. 0% of the possibilities.

Explanation:

Tay-Sachs disease affects the nervous system and is potentially mortal. It is transmitted from parents to progeny. Tay-Sachs is caused by a defective gene in the 15 chromosome.

The child that recesives two coppies of this defective gene, one from the mother and one from the father, results sick. <u>But if only one of the parents transmits the gene, then the child will be a carrier.</u> This child won't be sick but will transmit the gene to his/her own progeny.  

<u>Available data</u>:

  • The allele for tay-sachs is a recessive allele, "t"
  • Tim McGraw to determine is a carrier, Tt
  • Tim´s wife is not a carrier, TT

<u>Cross:</u>

Parental) TT     x     Tt

Gametes) T   T      T   t

Punnet square)   T         T

                     T   TT     TT

                      t    Tt      Tt

F1) Progeny genotype: 2/4= 1/2 normal, TT

                                      2/4= 1/2 Carrier, Tt

                                       0/4= 0 Sick, tt

What are the chances they could have a child with Tay-Sachs?

There are 0% of the possibilities that this family will get a sick child.

Answer:

The chances they would have a child with Tay-sach's is zero

Explanation:

Since Tim McGraw is a carrier; possessing just one copy of the recessive allele and the normal copy being dominant and his wife is neither a carrier nor a tay-sach's, there is zero percent chance of producing a child with Tay-sach's. This is because the condition is expressed when an individual has two copies of the recessive allele.

Hermit crabs have a soft belly and live in the ocean. To protect themselves, they crawl into discarded snail shells and use them
aniked [119]
The relationship between  the  hermit crabs and the snails  is  A.commensalism

Why? Commensalism refers to a relationship where one organism benefits  from the other without  affecting it. In this case, the hermit crab benefits from the  snails, via the latter's discarded shells. The crab's use of the  snails' shells has no impact on the  snails.

<u>Answer:</u>

Heat moves from the land to the air through the process of "conduction".

<u>Explanation:</u>

When the two things come in contact with one another at different temperatures or basically when heat flows from the warmer to the colder region or phase until both reach at the same temperature is understood as "conduction". Conduction is a physical process which occur by collision of the microscopically colliding particles like molecules, atoms and electrons on the movement of heat through a substance.

While convection take place by the movement of heated objects and it isn't the process influencing air and water temperature difference. The examples of conduction are like a radiator, a heating pad, sand can conduct heat etc.

Kazeer [188]

The maximum time a person could listen to a sound of 87 decibels is: 8 hours

<h3>Meaning of Decibels</h3>

Decibels can be defined as the unit used by scientists to measure sound level.The values of Decibel ranges from a very low value to a very high value and the higher we get the more dangerous it is to our human ear.

In conclusion, The maximum time a person could listen to a sound of 87 decibels is 8 hours
