Jim is clearly a carrier for the disease, as is his new wife. 

The distribution will be as such, with C denoted the dominant, non-disease trait and c denoting the hereditary disease. Only cc results in the disease. 
Martha          Jim                Offspring: 
          C          C   c                Cc, cC, CC, cc
          c

There is a 50% chance that the child is a carrier but does not have the disease (Cc)
There is a 25% chance that the child inherited no disease allele and therefore is not a carrier (CC)
There is a 25% chance that the child has the disease (cc)

The probability of having a baby with cystic fibrosis is 25%

<h2>Answer:</h2>

There is 1/4 probability that jim and martha will have cystic fibrocic child.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

As the jim's first child was cystic fibrosis and cystic fibrosis is a recessive disease.

Its mean Jim is a carrier and his second wife martha is also carrier. So the offsprings will be:

For example Jim and martha genotype is Cc and Cc then probability of offsprings are:

Cc × Cc = CC, Cc, Cc, cc

There will be three types of kids:

CC = Healthy kid = 25% = 1/4

Cc = Carrier kid = 50% = 1/2

cc = Diseased kid = 25% = 1/4

e-lub [12.9K]
<h2>b) option is correct </h2>

Explanation:

  • Archaea are the closest modern relatives of Earth's first living cells
  • Archaea are famous because of living in extreme environments
  • If it’s super hot (more than 100° Celsius), freezing, acidic, alkaline, salty, deep in the ocean, even bombarded by gamma or UV radiation, there’s probably life there, and that life is probably archaeal species
  • They’re also considered very resourceful
  • Many forms of archaea can utilize totally inorganic forms of matter—hydrogen, carbon dioxide or ammonia for example—to generate organic matter themselves

Verdich [7]

Answer: The carbon dioxide is the output and oxygen is the input of the Scuba apparatus.

Explanation:

The scuba apparatus is a life saving apparatus used by the sea divers. It recycles the exhaled gas and removes the carbon dioxide and compensates for the utilized oxygen gas before the diver is actually supplied with the gas for the purpose of breathing in a circuit. Hence, the carbon dioxide gas is the output and the oxygen is the input.
