Answer:

A.) Only his son would have the gene for the syndrome.

Explanation:

This is because during sexual reproduction (that is, between humans), the mother and father each donate a sex chromosome. The mother can only donate an X chromosome since her sex chromosomes are entirely X chromosomes, and the father can donate either an X or Y chromosome since his sex chromosomes are X and Y. Thus, because a male has the sex chromosomes X and Y whereas a female has the sex chromosome X and X, the male must donate a Y chromosome for a son to be born; otherwise he donates an X chromosome and the baby is female. As you can see, because the gene is on a Y chromosome and the father carries and passes it (only to a son), only his son would have the gene for the syndrome.

Can the existing avian influenza virus be transferred from one human host to another? Why or why not?
Rudiy27

Answer:

Hello, As long as the bird flu virus doesn't change into a human flu virus, it won't spread far in people. But sometimes after close personal contact a person who gets bird flu does infect another person. They can get the virus from tainted surfaces, such as cages and other farming equipment. Most people with the virus have had direct contact with infected poultry or objects contaminated with bird feces or secretions. Until now, very few cases of human-to-human transmission have occurred. Hope That Helps!

Working memory is most active during which portion of the information-processing model
Ann [662]
The answer is the short-term memory. It is the ability to recall and remember the small memories for a short period. According to Atkinson-Shiffrin, it can only last for 15 to 30 seconds. The longer the input of data to the memory the shorter time it stays, this was explained by Peterson and Peterson.
