6 0

Answer:

50%

Explanation:

According to the given information, the woman has normal BRCA alleles while the man carries one copy of the mutated BRCA allele (BRCA1). A diploid organism such as human beings can have two BRCA alleles. A child gets one BRCA allele from the mother and the other from the father.

The child of the couple would get one normal allele from the woman. However, with respect to the BRCA allele, the man would form two types of gametes in equal proportion. The 50% of his gametes would have the mutated BRCA1 allele while the rest 50% would carry the normal BRCA allele. Therefore, the man can transmit either normal or mutated BRCA allele to the child. So, there are 50% chances for the child to get the mutated allele.

How does a magnifying glass make an object look bigger and closer?​
ANEK [815]

Answer:

Any converging lens that has a small focal length (several centimeters) can be used as a magnifying glass. The observed object is placed in front of the magnifying glass so that it is located between the lens and the focus (closer to the focus).

Explanation:

It consists of only one condenser lens of small life (a few centimeters).

The observed object is placed between the magnifying glass and its focus (closer to the focus)

The observer sees an upright and enlarged figure of the object.

In order to like clear video ("sharpen"), the magnifier zooms in or out of the subject.

When the character is most clearly seen, we can find ourselves on a given high species.

For a man with normal eyesight, it is about 25 cm.

mezya [45]

Answer:

The correct answer is- Immune system

Explanation:

There are physical, chemical and immunological barriers present in our body which helps us to protect from the foreign antigen. They all assist each other and helps in pathogen removal from our body.

The physical barrier includes skin, gastrointestinal tract, respiratory tract, etc which do not allow the microbe to enter the body. Chemical barriers include tear, saliva, acid in the stomach which kills microbes on the body surface.

Immune cells like macrophages, B cells kills microbes when it gets in the body. Lymphatic system also contain immune cells and helps in microbe removal.  

So the immune system is assisted by physical barrier, chemical barrier, and lymphatic system.
