Q1. Pedigree is the recorded lineage of a family. A pedigree chart is actually a diagram showing an appearance and occurrence of phenotypes in several generations. It is used to find a probability of a child inheriting a particular trait or to discover is the trait autosomal or sex-related.

Q2. The presence of a trait in a pedigree chart is shown as filled-in figure. If a square or a circle in the pedigree chart are white (empty), then a person does not have a particular trait. If a figure is filled in (usually black), then a person has a trait. If a figure is half-filled in (e.g. it is half black half white), then a person is only a carrier of a trait but the trait is not expressed.

Q3. In the pedigree charts, squares present males and circles present females. If a female is healthy, the circle is empty (white). If a female is affected with a trait, the circle is filled in (usually black). Similarly, if a male is healthy, the square is empty. If a male is affected with a trait, the square is filled in.

Q4. The presence of dimples is a dominant trait. <span>In dominant traits, traits do not skip generations, unlike recessive traits. From the pedigree, the disorder did not skip any generations. This suggests that the disorder is dominant. If it was recessive, in some generation the trait would not be expressed.

Q5. If a pedigree chart of a family is known, then the occurrence and appearance of a trait can be predicted. For example, if it is known whether a disease is dominant, recessive, or sex-linked, then a possibility of getting a child with a disease can be easily calculated.</span>

A woman who is breastfeeding is not able to eat enough food for two weeks because of a lack of money. What effect will it have o

NikAS [45]

Answer:

There will not be any effect because the body will continue to produce enough.

Explanation:

Producing breast milk to satisfy a starving newborn is an arduous and energy-intensive task - about 500 calories a day. Therefore, it is important that moms a little more than normal. If the mother eats little, her body will still produce good quality milk, but she will run out of energy. This can also slow the recovery of your body after childbirth.

What determines milk production is how often the baby breastfeeds or how much more the mother empties her breasts. That is, the more the baby suckles, the more milk the mother will have. This milk will always be the amount of nutrients a baby needs, regardless of whether or not the mother has eaten. But if the mother does not eat, she may have health problems.

Often the growth cycle of one population has an effect on the cycle of another. As moose populations increase, wolf populations

babymother [125]

Answer:

The correct answer is option D) "K".

Explanation:

In this example the wolf population is described by the equation "ΔN/Δt=rN(K−N)K". Even tough the variables are not defined in the question, we can conclude that the effect of the moose population will be given by a factor that has a positive effect in the wolf's population because "as moose populations increase, wolf populations also increase". The factor "K" fits the description because it gives a positive effect on "ΔN/Δt". "K" is a factor that multiplies "rN" at two different levels, therefore the higher the value of "K", the higher value of "ΔN/Δt" will be.
