Complete question:
Imagine that a newly discovered, recessively inherited disease is expressed only in individuals with type O blood, although the disease and blood group are independently inherited.
A normal man with type A blood and a normal woman with type B blood have already had one child with the disease. The woman is now pregnant for a second time.
Assuming that both parents are heterozygous for the gene that causes the disease, what is the probability that the second child will also have the disease? Express your answer as a fraction using the slash symbol and no spaces (for example, 1/2).
Answer:
The probability that the second child will also have the disease is 1/16.
Explanation:
<u>Available data:</u>
- Two genes independently inherited: one for blood type, the other for disease
- Man with type A blood x Woman with type B blood
- Both parents are heterozygous for the gene that causes the disease; Dd
If the man has A blood, and the woman has B blood, and they already have an affected child, this means that they must be heterozygous for blood type too.

Answer:
Heart is a muscle with 4 chambers while lungs is an organ and exists in pair
Explanation:
Heart is a form of muscle which has 4 chambers namely The right ventricle, the left ventricle, the left atrium, and the right atrium responsible for pumping blood while the lung are organs responsible for respiration or breathing. They have tiny sacs called alveoli and are found in pair.

Answer:
Carbon is the most valuable element to life. Carbon is the central element for life organic compounds , i.e. include carbohydrates , lipids , proteins and nucleic acids. Cells are made of many complex molecules, called macromolecules, such as proteins, nucleic acids (RNA and DNA), carbohydrates, and lipids. The macromolecules are a subset of organic molecules (any carbon-containing liquid, solid, or gas) that are especially important for life.
Explanation:
Answer:
Carbon storage and exchange
Explanation:
For example, in the food chain, plants move carbon from the atmosphere into the biosphere through photosynthesis. They use energy from the sun to chemically combine carbon dioxide with hydrogen and oxygen from water to create sugar molecules.
