Refer to the figure showing a pedigree of a family affected by an x-linked recessive disorder. A female in generation 3 isn't a

carrier of the disorder. How can this be?
A. Females receive X chromosomes from this fathers only, which are unaffected in this case.
B. Females don't have X chromosomes so aren't affected by gene disorders passed on the X chromosome.
C. Females receive an X chromosomes from each point parent, but in cases of recessive disorders, the muted chromosome isn't passed on to daughters.
D. Females receive an X chromosome from each parent. If a mother is a carrier of an X-linked recessive disorder, her daughters have 50 percent chance of receiving her normal X chromosome and a 50 percent chance of receiving her mutated X chromosome.

Answer:

D. Females receive an X chromosome from each parent. If a mother is a carrier of an X-linked recessive disorder, her daughters have 50 percent chance of receiving her normal X chromosome and a 50 percent chance of receiving her mutated X chromosome.

Explanation:

Females have XX chromosomes as allosomes. They receive one X chromosome from mother and one from father. The female in the III generation received both the healthy X chromosomes from each parent that is why she is not even carrier for the disease.

The modified diagram clearly indicating the genotyope of all the members of the pedigree tree is attached. In the diagram, healthy X chromosome is indicated by X while mutated X chromosome is indicated by doted X. It is clear from the diagram that this female of III generation has XX chromosomes.  

The cross for that particular female is shown as under:

                               Mother               Father

                                   ẊX      x             XY

                                  /     \                  /     \

                               ẊX     ẊY          XX    XY

XX are the allosomes of this female child.

Calculate wavelength in metres and nanometers of green light whose frequency is 5.7 x 10^14 Hz.
Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

5.3 x 10⁻⁷ m

Explanation:

Data Given

frequency = 5.7 x 10¹⁴ Hz.

Convert Hz to per seconds (s⁻¹)

1 Hz = 1 s⁻¹

5.7 x 10¹⁴ Hz = 1 x 5.7 x 10¹⁴ = 5.7 x 10¹⁴ s⁻¹

wavelength =?

Solution:

Formula used to calculate wavelength

      f = c/λ

rearrange the above equation

               λ = c/f ........(1)

Where:

c = speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ ms⁻¹

λ= wavelength

put the values in above equation 1

   λ = 3 x 10⁸ ms⁻¹ / 5.7 x 10¹⁴ s⁻¹

   λ = 5.3 x 10⁻⁷ m

So the wavelength of light =  5.3 x 10⁻⁷ m

The effective nuclear charge for an atom is less than the actual nuclear charge due to
Irina18 [472]

Answer:

A = shielding.

Explanation:

The addition of electron causes the atomic size increase from top to bottom due to increase in atomic number.

As the atomic number increased one more electron is added and because of this electron on more electronic shell is added. Thus the electron become more away from the nucleus as many of other electrons are present in the way from nucleus to the outer electrons.

The hold of nucleus becomes weaker. Although nuclear charge is also increased but at the same time other electrons shield the respective electrons. So effective nuclear charge is weaker than the actual nuclear charge.

Because of this shielding it is easy to remove the electrons or we can say ionization energy decreases.

Fill in the two blanks ​
Nastasia [14]

Answer:

A.) Longer and Shorter

Explanation:

If the wavelength of a light wave is shorter that means the frequency will be higher.

That means that longer wavelengths have a lower frequency.
