Answer:
Women who carry one copy of the mutated gene still have normal color vision because they have another copy, which is not mutated, in the other X chromosome that will be the dominant one. As a result, the women are carriers of the mutated gene but not color blind.
Explanation:
Colorblindness is a sex-linked mutation. A woman has two X chromosomes, while a man has one X chromosome and one Y chromosome. The mutated gene that causes color blindness is on the X chromosome, and it is OPN1LW. So if a woman has one mutated OPN1LW in one of her two X chromosomes, the OPN1LW gene in the other X chromosome will be the dominant one stopping the woman from being colorblind.
In the case of men, as they only have one X chromosome, if there is a mutation on the OPN1LW in the X chromosome, the men will be colorblind because there is no extra copy of the gene, as it is in women.
The answer is T, True. Secondary pollutants are pollutants that we do not directly release, but that are created as a side effect of releasing primary pollutants, such as carbon dioxide, sulfur oxides, and particles such as ash and dust. Secondary pollutants include acid rain, ozone, smog, and CFC's (chlorofluorocarbons).
The measles virus and rubella virus are two separate viruses. They have different DNA and RNA structures, and the vaccination for the measles virus only "knows" how to attach itself to measles and destroy the virus. It doesn't know how to attach itself to the rubella virus to destroy it, as the vaccination is needed to inform it how to.
The advantage of vaccinating a large amount of the population is that it reduces the chance someone will catch sickness by a great amount, and can possibly eradicate the virus.
As pollution and runoff get dumped into the ocean the acid levels go up causing acidification to happen. This harms animals, and us.
