Hemophilia is caused by an X-linked recessive mutation in humans. If a woman whose paternal uncle (fathers brother) was a hemoph

iliac marries a man whose brother is also a hemophillac, what is the probability of their first child having hemophilia (Note: assume that there are no other cases of hemophila in the pedigree and no hidden carriers)? Select one: O a. 1/2 O b. 1/8 O c.0 O d. 1/4 O e. 1

Answer:

c. 0

Explanation:

<em>The probability of their first child having hemophilia is 0.</em>

Since hemophilia is is an X-linked and recessive, a man will either be affected or not affected while a woman can be affected, unaffected or be a carrier of the disease.

If the paternal uncle (not the father) of a woman is hemophilic and there is no history of the disorder in the woman's mother's family, such woman is unaffected for the disorder. Hence, her genotype will be X^HX^H (assumming the allele for hemophilia is represented by h).

A man whose brother is hemophilic without himself being hemophilic will have the genotype X^HY.

Crossin the two in marriage:

X^HY   x   X^HX^H

progeny: X^HX^H, X^HY, X^HX^H, and X^HY

None of the progeny will have hemophilia.

<em>Hence, the probability of their first child having hemophilia is 0.</em>

The correct option is c.

Answer:

c.0

Explanation:

Given, that apart from woman's paternal uncle and man's brother there are no more haemophilia cases and carriers in pedigree. This means that the woman's parents are not carrying the haemophilia allele and hence she will be non haemophiliac and non carrier. The man's parents are also not carrying the allele hence he will be non haemophiliac. Both man and woman are not carrying any allele for haemophilia so when they have children the probability of having haemophiliac children will be 0.

Hence, the probability of their first child having haemophilia will be 0.

The large surface area in the gut directly facilitates _____.
Flura [38]

Answer:

B. Absorption

Explanation:

  • Absorption is a process that takes place in the small intestines or ileum of the GI tract, in which simple and soluble nutrients are absorbed into the blood stream.
  • Absorption is enhanced by several adaptations of the gut such as large surface area of the gut which directly facilitates absorption of nutrients.
  • Presence of villi and microvilli in the gut increases the surface area for absorption of nutrients in the ileum.

Which group would be found on the lowest branch of a phylogenetic tree of all life?
nikklg [1K]
I think the correct answer would be the second option. The group of archaebacteria would be found on the lowest branch of a phylogenetic tree of all life. Phylogenic trees are illustrations of a hypothetical evolution of the organisms and its relationship with the other organisms. From the listed options, the archaebacteria is most likely to be the most basic and simplest life form. It should be placed before the other options so at the lowest branch. This illustration is being used by scientists to describe how evolution and the connection of the organisms came about. It sometimes called as the tree of life.

const2013 [10]

Answer: A, the sun creates it's own light.

Explanation: <em>The moon can't create it's own light, so the sun shines on the moon and it </em><em>reflects</em><em>, or "bounces" off.  The sun is able to produce it's light by </em><em>fusion,</em><em> which also creates heat. </em>
