A man and his wife are having trouble having a baby. Using modern technologies, the woman's eggs are removed, fertilized with he

r husband's sperm, and implanted into her uterus. The procedure is successful, and the woman gives birth to a healthy baby boy. After a while, though, they discover that their son is colorblind. The woman claims that the child can't be theirs since neither parent is colorblind, although one grandparent (the woman's father) is also colorblind. As a genetic counselor, you would explain to the parents that _________.
a. the eggs must have been accidentally switched, since males inherit sex-linked traits only from their fathers
b. colorblindness often appears randomly, even if neither parent is colorblind
c. since colorblindness is sex-linked, a son can inherit colorblindness if his mother has the recessive colorblindness allele
d. the baby's father must have a recessive allele for colorblindness

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

Color blindness is a common hereditary condition which means it usually passes from parents. Red green color blindness is passed on from the mother to the son.

The chromosome number 23 is the sex chromosome also responsible for colorblindness. As it is sex linked the son can receive the recessive allele from the mother.

The mother of the child had a recessive allele which she transferred into her son. As it is sex inherited disease the son is affected by gene carried from mother.

how factors such as blood pressure blood volume blood viscosity resistance disease and exercice affect blood flow
schepotkina [342]

Blood is essential for many organisms, such as humans and animals, for its important function of transporting substances (food, oxygen), vitamins, waste (carbon dioxide), hormones, etc. to all tissues and cells of the body.

1) Blood volume

If the blood volume increases ==> the blood flow increases.

2) Viscosity of blood

If we have an increase in blood viscosity ==> we have a decrease in blood flow

3) Peripheral Resistance

If there is an increase in peripheral resistance ==> the blood flow decreases

4) Diameter of blood vessels

If we have an increase in diameter of

blood vessels ==> decreased peripheral resistance ==> increased blood flow

5) Blood pressure

If the blood pressure increases ==> the blood flow increases.

6) In case of diseases

In the case of atherosclerosis or acute coronary syndrome ==> blood flow decreases.

7) Physical excercises:

During physical exercises ==> the heart rate increases ==> the blood flow increases.

compare the four kinds of tissues connective tissue, epithelial tissue, muscle tissue, and nervous tissue. hi and also if you do
kirza4 [7]
<h3><u>Connective tissue:</u></h3>

It is the layer under the epithelial tissue in the body. It is stronger than epithelial tissue and is found in many organs. It provides protection.

<h3><u>Epithelial tissue:</u></h3>

It covers the outside of the body like a veil. located in the outermost part of the body. Protects the body against microbes and infections.

<h3><u>Muscle tissue:</u></h3>

It is located in the joint areas and forms the support and movement system. It allows us to make bodily movements.

<h3><u>Nervous tissue:</u></h3>

It is the fastest communication tissue. It allows us to feel pain and the sense of touch. It is impossible to repair this tissue after it is damaged. It causes paralysis. It is very important as it plays a role in the activity of neural transmission.
