Answer:

Given

Per Kg of body mass, there is 3 gram of potassium

And abundance of three isotopes are as follows

Potassium-39, Potassium-40, and Potassium-41. Have abundances respectively as 93.26%, 0.012% and 6.728%.

1) A body weighing 80 Kg will have 240 grams of potassium. And the amount of Potassium-40 will be 0.012% of 240 gram

= 240*0.012/100 = 0.0288 gram.

2) Dose in (Gy) = (energy absorbed)/(mass of the body) = ( 1.1*106*1.6*10-19)/(80) = 22*10-10 J/kg

Dose (in siverts) = RBE*Dose(in Gy) = 1.2*22*10-10 = 26.4*10-10

Answer:

The correct answer is: B, C, D,F, G, H.

Aneuploidy is usually due to a defect during cell division (chromosomes don’t separate). The following disease are examples of aneuploidy:

b. Down's syndrome (trisomy of chromosome 21)

c. Edward's syndrome (trisomy of chromosome 18)

d. Jacob's syndrome (a male with an extra Y chromosome)

f. Turner's syndrome (a female missing a X chromosome)

what can be interpreted about type 2 diabetes mellitus in monozygotic twins when it affects only one twin 70% of the time and af
Anon25 [30]

Expression can be influenced by factors that are not genetic.

<h3>What are non-genetic factors?</h3>

Factors that are not part of a person's genetic make-up are referred to as non-genetic factors. These elements include aspects of the surrounding environment as well as aspects of an organism's lifestyle that contribute to its makeup.

It has been demonstrated in a number of studies that the formation of some features is influenced by both hereditary and non-genetic variables.

In the situation described above, both of the monozygotic twins have diabetes, but the lifestyle choices made by one of them causes the condition to manifest itself seventy percent of the time. It's possible that the person is drinking more alcohol and eating more sugar.
