1-
First, i m going to explain how the disease is inherited.
Like it says in the question, hemophilia's gene is carried on the X chromosome and is recessive.
Females inherit two X chromosomes, one from each parent. They are: XX
Males inherit one X chromosome from their mother and a Y chromosome from their father. They are XY.

I'll represent with Xᵃ- when the chromosome has the disease's gene and with only an X when that chromosome is normal.

2-
If Joe has hemophilia is because the X chromosome that was inherited from the mother, came with the disease. Since men only have one X chromosome, the gene will be expressed.
However, this doesn't mean that the mother had the disease, she could be only a carrier with this genotype: XᵃX
(there is not enough information to be sure which one is she)

The answers:
3-
Maternal grandmother- COULD HAVE INHERITED
Like i said before, Joe's mother had a least one X chromosome with the disease's gene, and that came from either her father or her mother( joe's Maternal grandmother).
If it came from the grandfather, that means that he was hemophilic.
If it came from the grandmother, that means that she was a carrier or also had the disease. There is not enough info to be sure which genotype she has but either way, there is a possibility.

4-
Maternal grandfather- COULD HAVE INHERITED
Joe's mother had a least one X chromosome with the disease's gene, and that came from either her father( maternal grandfather) or her mother.
If it came from the grandfather, we can be certain he was hemophilic.He had the same genotype as joe which is: Xᵃ Y

5-
Paternal Grandmother and Paternal Grandfather- COULD NOT HAVE INHERITED.
In x-linked recessive diseases, fathers cannot pass it on to their son because they will pass the Y chromosome, not the X.
Joe's father gave Joe the Y chromosome and will not pass any X.
So, even if Joe's father and his side of the family had hemophilia, that wouldn't matter because either way, Joe will not be receiving any X chromosomes.

Which advancement in technology has helped cut down on waste?
lana66690 [7]

Ans.

Paper waste prevention is defined as a practice to reduce or eliminate use of paper, which is potential for the efficient use or disposal of paper. It decreases the environmental impacts due to both paper manufacturing and paper recycling, such as demands on forest resources).

Use of advance technologies, such as E-mail (electronic mail) can help in cut down on paper waste. Nowadays, E-mail has replaced conventional letters and faxes as it is more eco-friendly than letters and faxes, which needs paper consumption.

Thus, the correct answer is 'option d). E-mail.'

1. What causes the autorhythmicity or action potentials of the nodal cells? a. A decrease in chloride permeability b. A gradual
Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-C

Explanation:

The rhythm of the heartbeat is controlled by the pacemaker of the heart called the sino-atrial node.

The SA node generates action potentials which trigger the contraction and relaxation of the atrium and ventricles. The membrane potential generation initiates by the depolarization of the cell membrane when the L type of Ca⁺² ions opens up and calcium ions enter the cell.

This depolarizes the cell until the potential threshold is reached which lies between the -40 and -30 mV.

Thus, Option-C is the correct answer.
