Answer: 100%

Explanation:

if the mutation presents autosomal dominant inheritance, each affected individual will show 100% alteration in the protein, thus , being dominant, it is considered that the disease pattern will predominate even if it has genes that do not express it since these will be recessive and canceled by the dominant ones.

Why were slaves important to the colonial economy? Hint: discuss economic interdependence found in the lesson Answer:
bekas [8.4K]

There are many reasons to why slaves were essential in the colonial economy:

Slaves were generally used more in the south, because large plantations were found there, which meant that the need for large amounts of workers.

Slaves provided cheap labors, and as they were not "citizens" of the US, they were not allowed their rights.

Slaves were also relatively easy to buy and replace, however, their survival rates were not that good after they traveled long distance.

etc.

hope this helps
