Answer: This is talking about Y-chromosomal Adam,or Y-MRCA,which is the most recent common ancestor from whom all currently living males are descended patrilineally.

Explanation:

Most Christians believed that the entire human race actually descended from our literally first parents, Adam and Eve until the advent of Darwinian evolution. This belief has been challenged by modern scientific claims on two front:

1. The belief that true man suddenly appeared in the form of Adam has been replaced with standard theory of human evolution in which progressive changes in early primates evolved the consciouand consciousness intelligence of modern man.

2. The claim that our human species arose from a single pair of first parent has been replaced with evolution taking place in large population whose number never saw a bottleneck or reduced population of just two individuals

Answer:

The Scientific Adam refers to the most recent common ancestor of all males, given that some scientists theorize that all currently living men share the same mutations in their Y chromosome, proving that one man fathered all of humanity.

Identifying the Scientific Adam would be very important for both science and religion, as it would provide a bridge between these two often collided fields. The Scientific Adam proves the existence of the biblical Adam.

1.What is the probability that a sperm from the father will contain the PKU allele?

Probability = ½

2.What is the probability that an egg from the mother will contain the PKU allele?

Probability = ½

3.What is the probability that their next child will have PKU?

Probability = ¼ (because each parent has ½ chance  ½ X ½ = ¼)

4.What is the probability that their next child will be heterozygous for the PKU gene?

Probability = ½ (because each parent has ½ chance of donating the ‘P’ allele and ½ chance of donating the ‘p’ allele  (½ x ½) + (½ x ½) = ½

For the reaction C6H 1206C02+ H208 428 g of C6 H 1206 is consumed producing a 3.1 M solution of CO2 what is the volume of CO2 pr

timofeeve [1]

I think it’s m(C6H12O6) = 856 g

M(C6H12O6) = 12*6+1*12+16*6 = 180 g/mol

n(C6H12O6) = m/M = 856 g / 180 g/mol = 4.756 mol

n(CO2) = 6*4.756 = 28.536 mol

M(CO2) = 12+16*2 = 44 g/mol

m(CO2) = n*M = 28.536mol*44g/mol = 1255.584 g

It is easier to read while shaking your head than while shaking the page. why

Vedmedyk [2.9K]

The reason why it is much easier to read while shaking your head rather than reading and shaking the page is because of the vestibular ocular reflex, it is because when reading and shaking your head the vestibular ocular reflex were able to respond faster than prolong and slow movements.
