The best description of employment mix in US cities is by "II and III"-

Statement II- The majority of workers are moving away from industrial jobs and toward professional service jobs.

Statement III- Cities are more focused on consumption and material goods than industrial activities.

Explanation:

As an economy progresses from developing to developed, it undergoes a sectoral transformation where the economic structure goes a transformative change. Since the US is a developed economy, its main workforce lies in the tertiary sector (mostly services sector) rather than manufacturing and other industrial activities.

Statement I- The statement is wrong since the majority of employment is from the services sector.

Statement II- As explained earlier, with the transformation of the economy, employment avenues move towards services (tertiary) and quaternary sectors.

Statement III- Due to increased disposable income of people and prosperity, cities are focussed on consumption, unlike developing countries where cities are the hub of industrial activity.

Statement IV- Crime in cities is high due to the high disparity of income. There is a high divergence of income between affluent and poor class which manifests itself in high crime rates.

RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

Option D

Explanation:

Options for the question

A) The Y chromosome is slower to mature than the X chromosome.

B) Replication of the X chromosome occurs more often in males.

C) Male hormones cause the expression of X-linked traits.

D) Males only have one copy of the X chromosome

Given-

Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is an X-linked recessive condition which means it will occur in male even if they have one diseased X gene. While females will have this disease only when they have two diseased X gene

Hence, in most of the cases women with only one diseased X chromosome act as carrier and show normal traits.

Let us assume X is normal gene and X' is the diseased gene then

Genotype of normal father will be - XY

Genotype of carrier mother will be - XX'

Now if these two mates, following offspring will be produced

XY * XX'

XX, XX', XY, X'Y

So the male with X'Y will have DMD

Hence, option D is correct

Social institutions fail to influence the conduct of individuals seeking monetary success. This causes a state of normlessness,

Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

Anomie is a state of normlessness.

Explanation:

Anomie pertains to a social condition where a particular society no longer observes the norms, rules, and values previously present in the said social institution. It is a state of normlessness. Emile Durkheim, a sociologist, was the first person who coined this term. Anomie happens when there are drastic changes in society.

In the scenario given in the question, social norms can no longer affect the behavior/conduct of a person preoccupied with monetary success. In previous times, moral conduct is an essential and integrative trait necessary to be well-accepted in society. But, a lot has happened: technological advancement, lifestyle goals, and career aspirations. These ambitions drive people to value money more than conduct.
