If Jack and Jill have a child with an AAa genotype, during which meiotic division, and in which parent, could nondisjunction hav

Further information from another source:

Jill is heterozygous for gene A and is going to have a child with Jack, who is homozygous recessive for gene A.

Answer:

Maternal meiosis II

Explanation:

Jill has the genotype Aa, and Jack has the genotype aa. Jack can only contribute the a, whereas Jill can contribute A or a. For the child to have 2 copies of the A allele and two copies of the a allele, that means the nondisjunction must have happened in the mother.

As for the stage of meiosis, non-disjunction in meiosis I means that homologous chromosomes fail to separate properly. This would mean that the child would inherit Aa from its mother and a from its father. This is not the case.

Non-disjunction in meiosis II means identical sister chromatids fail to separate properly, which means the child would inherit either aa from its mother, or AA from its mother, and a from its father. This could give the genotype AAa. Therefore, nondisjunction must have occurred in maternal meiosis II

Why was miasma theory replaced?
vredina [299]

Answer:

Miasma theory was replaced because John Snow collected data that showed that germs cause disease.

Explanation:

The theory of miasma was proposed in the past when some scientists —like doctors Thomas Sydenham and Giovanni Maria Lancisi— thought that disease was the product of emanations originated by the decomposition of organic matter. This theory was based on the fact that diseases predominated in places with poor hygienic conditions.

John Snow, an english physician, was one of the main contributors to the <u>microbial theory of disease</u>. In 1854, while a cholera epidemic was occurring, he collected data and organized it statistically and then concluded that the disease was caused by germs present in drinking water. This <u>data was contrary to the miasma theory, which would eventually be displaced by the microbial theory of the disease</u>.

Give examples of how communities or homes reduce pollution.
JulijaS [17]

Some ways would be to use less gas-powered items, such as some stoves. Communities can encourage carpools and walking. If you  were to drive, don't gun the gas and drive at moderate speeds.

In your own home you can conserve energy by turning off lights and electronic devices when not in use.  You could also use energy efficient light-bulbs.

<span>The use of human cells in research can lead to ethical problems

Because the new use of cells most often lead to this "grey area" in ethics as it is a new area of science and our society is not yet conditioned to this scientific breakthough. As there is no "moral code" on human cell use, ethical objections can arise and led to conflicts.
