Red-green color blindness is an X-linked recessive disorder that is passed through generations and can be traced by using a pedi
Nostrana [21]

Answer:

Lisa and Monica

Explanation:

<em>The correct answer would be Lisa and Monica.</em>

<u>For X-linked recessive disorders, a female can be unaffected, a carrier, or affected. However, a male can either be affected or unaffected and never a carrier. This is because females have two X chromosomes while males have only one.</u>

In addition, completely filled-in shapes in a pedigree mean that such individuals are affected for the trait in question while half-filled shapes mean the individuals are carriers for the trait.

Hence, individuals in the pedigree that are labeled carriers for red-green color blindness are Lisa and Monica (they both have half-filled shapes).

If cells do not respond to the normal mechanisms that control cell division, _______ results.
natali 33 [55]

When cells do not respond to the signals that normally regulate cell division, cancer results. Cancer cells altered cell division in the presence of signals that normally inhibit cell growth, with this; they no longer require special signals to induce cell growth and division. The consequence of the abnormalities of these cells could lead to mutations in protein-encoding genes that regulate cell division.

<span>Moreover, they also inhibit the growth of nearby cells that allow the cancer cells to spread and invade other tissues. The uncontrollable division form masses of cells called tumors that can impaired nearby tissues. If these cells stay in their original site, they are considered benign, if they become invasive, they are considered malignant which means that cancer cells metastasize, sending tumor cells to distant locations in the body where new tumors may form.</span>

What Happened to the Anchovy? - Part 2
Charra [1.4K]

Note about the question:

You will find the graph in the attached files.

Answer:

A) overfishing in previous years and warm waters with few nutrients

Explanation:

Under El Niño conditions, there is a tropical stream, which is usually weak, that acquires strength while the opposite streams debilitate. This event impedes warm water to go eastward, remaining in South America´s coasts, which produces unusual precipitations in Chile followed by floral bloom in Atacama desert and fewer precipitations events in Eastsouth Asia and North Australia. During and after the El Niño, occurs a fishery crisis because there is no upwelling on the coasts of South America, nutrients from the bottom do no ascend, and fish populations remain equal or decrease.    

Around 1970, there was e<u>xcessive overexploitation of fishes</u>. This overfishing probably led to a significant decrease in the anchovy population size, reducing the number of individuals in the reproductive stage, especially the females. The graph reflects that during the following years, there were also peaks in anchovy catch. The population did not have enough time to recover from the highest peak in 1970.

From 1982-1983 El Niño event was severe. No upwelling meant no nutrients to survive, and that the remaining anchovy population, previously affected by fishery, hardly made it that year. There was probably a fishery crisis, and hence, no animals were caught in 1984.
