2 answers:

7 0

I searched it up and what i got was:
The Moon's gravity pulls more on the planet than the water on the opposite side. These two water bulges on opposite sides of the Earth aligned with the Moon are the high tides. Since ocean water is pulled higher in the areas of the two high tides, there is less water in between the two high tides.

Answer:

The moon

Explanation:

Since the Moon is a relatively large object in space that is very close to the Earth, its gravity actually pulls Earth’s water towards it. Wherever the moon is, as it orbits the Earth, there is a high tide ‘bulge’ that stays lined up with the Moon. The sun also plays a a role in this since it has a gravitational pull much greator than the moon but due to it being much farther away, it causes tides only half as strong as the ones from the moon.

A woman with normal blood clotting ability whose father was a hemophiliac and whose mother was normal with no family history of

Alborosie

Answer:

The answer is 25%.

Explanation:

Hemophilia is a recessive illness that is x-linked.

If the husband has normal clotting ability, that means he has the dominant gene since he has only one X chromosome.

Since there is a probability that their child will have hemophilia, this means that the woman, who has 2 X chromosomes but has normal blood clotting abilities, has one dominant and one recessive hemophilia gene.

The probability that their first child will be a male is 50% and the probability that he will have hemophilia is also 50% since he will only get the Y chromosome from the father and the mother has one dominant and one recessive.

So the probability that their first child will be a son with hemophilia is 25%.

I hope this answer helps.

When tissues are subjected to chemical or physical trauma or invasion by pathogenic microorganisms, what can occur?

777dan777 [17]

Answer:

Inflammation

Explanation:

Inflammation is an immune response produced in the body in response to the damage or trauma caused by physical or chemical factors.

The injured tissue can allow the entry of the microorganism in the body which could cause disease therefore the immune response gets activated to eliminate the pathogen.

The inflammation is marked by the swelling and redness in the injured portion due to the increased flow of blood carrying the White blood cells in that area. The immune cells interact with the pathogen and kill the pathogen.

Thus, Inflammation is the correct answer.
