when a prokaryote reproduces, it will duplicate its self and make another one just like it. like a carbon copy. they dont get to be diverse because they dont reproduce sexually, which would mix up genes making it more diverse.

Starting from my First cousin family, I know for sure that the Uncle is is a carrier (Aa) and he must have married a wife who is also a carrier (Aa) and that is how they got an affected son. Thus, this leads to the fact that either both of my grandparents are carriers (Aa x Aa) or only one of them is a carrier (Aa x AA). As a result, the chances that my mom (who is related to the uncle who has a defected child) is a carrier is either (2/3 or 1/2) depending if my grandparents genotype, respectively. Thus, if my mom chances of being a carrier is 1/2 then my chance of being a carrier is 1/4. (given that my dad is not a carrier b/c CF is a rare disease) However, if my mom chance of being a carrier is 2/3 then my chance of being a carrier is (2/3)x(1/2)=(1/3) As a result, I could either be 1/4 or 1/3. But since the answer only provide the choice of 1/4 and not 1/3. This leave 25% is the correct answer.

Whats are the pros and cons of a endoskeleton?

Softa [21]

Well, an endoskeleton is an internal skeleton, like humans have. Pro: Bones do not get broke as easily, since they are inside of the body. Bones that break also heal more quickly in an endoskeleton, since they have tissue and blood surrounding it and transferring nutrients. Con: The flesh can get easily damaged. There is no shedding with endoskeletons, so a new skeleton cannot be grown in the event of an injury.

Biologists notice that a population of ferrets introduced into a reserve begins to show exponential growth. The figures represen

sesenic [268]

Answer:

A. 50, 88, 145, 227

Explanation:

The correct option would be option A.

When something grows exponentially, it means the growth increased at a high rate. More specifically, each rate of increase results in more or less doubling of the preceding rate. For example, if the current value of growth rate is 2 for a substance that is growing exponentially, the next growth rates will be 4, 8, 16, etc.

In this particular illustration, the only option that best fit into an exponential system is option A in which the growth rate more or less doubles each time from 50 to 88, from 88 to 145, and then from 145 to 227.

a german measles rubella epidemic during the years 1963 to 1965 resulted in approximately 30,000 babies being born with birth de

Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

In babies born with congenital defects during the German measles rubella epidemic the specific cause of these birth defects was most likely the development of rubella virus infections in embryos.

Explanation:

Options for this question are:

1. The development of rubella virus infections in embryos. 

2. The failure of zygotes infected with rubella to develop

3. Mutations in the nerve cells of pregnant females at the time of the rubella epidemic .

4. An increase in the amount of time needed for healthy embryonic development.

Rubella is a viral infection caused by a virus of the genus Rubivirus, considered highly teratogenic during the phases of pregnancy where the embryo and the fetus are developing, that is, before 20 weeks of gestation.

The virus is transferred to the embryo or fetus by the mother's blood, acquiring the disease, which can cause abortions or visible malformations at birth, which is called Congenital Rubella Syndrome (CRB).

CRB is responsible for producing cardiovascular, renal, neurological malformations, loss of vision or hearing, problems that German children born during the epidemic probably had.
