Answer:
The options to this question are unclear but the answer is: Hh, Hh, hh, hh i.e Hh (50%), hh (50%).
Explanation:
This question involves a single Gene coding for the possession or not of Huntington's disease in humans. The disease is said to be an autosomal recessive condition i.e. it only happens in a recessive state (hh).
According to this question, when a female with Huntington disease (hh) mates with a male that is heterozygous (Hh) for the Huntington trait, the following gametes will be produced by each parent.
hh - h and h
Hh - H and h
Using these gametes in a punnet square (see attached image), the following genotypic combination of offsprings will be produced.
Hh, Hh, hh and hh
Hh = 50%
hh = 50%
Huntington Disease is Which percentage
shows the genotype probability *
Answer:
E. Malaria
Explanation:
Schizogony refers to the process of asexual reproduction through the process of multiple fission. The malaria parasite, <em>Plasmodium</em> species, enters the human body through the bite of female anopheles mosquitoes.
These mosquitoes carry haploid sporozoites in their saliva which are released into the bloodstream of human. The haploid sporozoites enter the liver cells where they multiply and increase their number through the process of multiple fission.
The process of schizogony in sporozoites of malaria parasite produces merozoites which are then released from the liver cells.
This question is incomplete as the specific food chain is not provided. In general, a food chain will have a primary producer at the base of the chain. This is an organism that is able to utilise a form of energy to convert carbon dioxide in the atmosphere to a carbohydrate. For terrestrial food chains, these are typically plants, who by utilising the energy from the sun, are able to convert carbon dioxide to carbohydrates. The subsequent level in the food chain may be a primary consumer, typically herbivores, that consume plant matter. Subsequent links in the chain would typically be secondary consumers, who would be carnivores, omnivores or decomposers. Carnivores would typically be predators and would be at the apex of the food chain. Energy is lost from one link to the subsequent link in the food chain, through basic respiration and inefficient energy transfer from one link to another. This explains why more resources (land, water and air) are required to grow meat rather than plant matter. More of the sun's energy is available within the lower trophic levels in a food chain, before much of it is lost as energy moves up the food chain. An easy example to illustrate this is that much of the livestock raised in the USA is fed grain. If people rather ate the grain than the livestock, they could obtain all their required energy from a smaller amount of grain then would be needed to raise the meat they require.
