Cystic fibrosis is a hereditary disorder caused by a recessive mutation. in a previous marriage, jim had a child with cystic fib

rosis, though neither jim nor his first wife had the disease. jim is now married to martha, who had a brother that died of cystic fibrosis. though martha does not have the disease, she found out that she is a carrier. what is the probability that jim and martha will have a baby with cystic fibrosis?

1) Data:
dominant allele- A
recessive allele- a

Heterozygotic: Aa (only carries the allele)
Homozygotic recessive: aa (expresses the disease)
Homozygotic dominant: AA (doesn't carry or expresses the disease)

2)The first cross between Jim and his first wife originated a offspring with
<span>cystic fibrosis</span>. That offspring has the genotype aa and for that to happen both parents need to be a least carriers or express the disease. The exercise rules out the second case, which makes Jim a carrier.

3)Now between Jim and Martha:
From the previous step, we already found that jim is a carrier and the exercise also tells us that Martha is one too. So, their genotype is: Aa.
The cross: Aa x Aa
The probability:
1/4  aa = 25%
2/4 =Aa
1/4 - AA

the probability of having a <span>baby with cystic fibrosis is 25%</span>

A skeletal muscle is a composition of several components bundled one into the other. at which structural level in the muscle doe
Alexandra [31]

The structural level in which the muscle produces the contraction is known as the muscle fiber.

<h3>What is a muscle fiber?</h3>

A muscle fiber is a single muscular cell that is able to contract by using specialized proteins such as filaments of myosin and actin.

This unit (muscle fiber) is able to contract both in vivo and in vitro by establishing suitable environmental conditions (e.g., proper calcium levels).

In conclusion, the structural level in which the muscle contracts is the muscle fiber.

Match the following items. 1. insertion inner, light-sensitive layer of the eye 2. sympathetic system point where a muscle is at
Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

1. Inner, light-sensitive layer of the eye. Retina

2. Point where a muscle is attached to the more movable part. Insertion

3. Outer, fibrous layer of the eye. Sclera  

4. Translates sound vibrations into nervous impulse. Cochlea

5. Prepares the body for activity. Sympathetic system

6. Sense of balance. Semicircular canals

7. Coordinates our muscular movements. Cerebellum

8. Point where the muscle is attached to the less movable bone. Origin

9. Active when the body is resting. Parasympathetic system

10. In the brain stem, controls the activity of internal organs. Medulla oblongata

Explanation:

  • The retina is the internal layer of the eye. It receives the light from the exterior and transforms these stimuli into nervous stimuli, which travels to the brain to give an image.
  • The sclera is the outer layer of the eye. It protects the eye and keeps the eye's shape.
  • A muscle has an origin and an insertion. The first one is the part attached to the less movable bone and the second one to the more movable part. These two parts can be in different bones. When the muscle contracts, the bone attached to the insertion moves towards the origin of the muscle.
  • The cochlea and the semicircular canals are in the inner ear. The cochlea is the organ responsible for transforming the sound's vibrations into nerve impulses that will travel to the brain so that we can hear. In its interior, there are cells that have hairs, which move with the vibrations and transmit this message to the nervous system.

The semicircular canals are three and with liquid that moves as we move. The movement of this liquid moves hair cells that are in the canals. These hair cells inform our brain about our location in space and give us a sense of valance.

  • The cerebellum is part of the central nervous system. It involves the coordination of movements, learning new movements, and controlling them.
  • The sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems are part of the autonomic nervous system. The first one prepares our body for an emergency or an activity. It is the one that increases our respiratory frequency, our heart rate, dilates our pupils, makes us more alert, amongst other things. On the other hand, the parasympathetic system relaxes our body, slowing our heart rate, is involved in the digestion and the relaxation of our muscles. It activates, for example, after we eat.
  • The medulla oblongata is part of the brainstem. It controls involuntary actions such as heart rate, respiration, and vasoconstriction. As it controls these functions, it affects internal organs like the heart, lungs, arteries, etc.
