Answer:

Skin,muscles and metabolism play a significant role in maintaining his body temperature

Role of muscles

The one of principle function of muscle is to store glycogen.The stored glycogen of jim"s muscle  undergo glycogenolysis to generate heat inside his body.

Role of metabolism

In cold environment the rate of aerobic respiration and other catabolic reactions such as beta oxidation of fatty acid occur to generate energy in form of heat in his body.

A gene is composed of two alleles. An allele can be either dominant or recessive. Suppose that a husband and wife, who are both
siniylev [52]

Answer: If a husband and wife who are both carriers of the sickle-cell anemia allele (Ss) but do not have the disease decide to have a child, the offspring can be Normal (SS), carrier (Ss) or sick (ss) with the probability ¼, 2/4 (½) and ¼ respectively.

Explanation: If the mother contributes the dominant allele and the father also contributes the dominant allele, the genotype of the child will be SS. The probability is ¼. This means there is a 25% chance that a randomly selected offspring will be a normal child and will not have sickle-cell anemia.

If the mother contributes the dominant allele and the father contributes the recessive allele, the genotype of the child will be Ss. The probability is 2/4 or ½. This means there is a 50% chance that a randomly selected offspring will be a carrier of sickle cell anemia, but will not have sickle-cell anemia.

If the mother contributes the recessive allele and the father also contributes the recessive allele, the genotype of the child will be ss. The probability is ¼. This means there is a 25% chance that a randomly selected offspring will have sickle cell anemia.
