Answer:

<em> a) There is a 25% chance that their next child will be Rh-.</em>

<em>b) There is a 3/8  chance for a Rh+ girl</em>

Explanation:

As we know from the question that Rh is a dominant gene. A person having only one allele for the gene will show its effect as it is the dominant character.

This means that for a person to lack the Rh factor, it shall not have any allele with the Rh factor.

To illustrate the result, lets draw a punnet square:

            Rh+         Rh-

Rh+    Rh+/Rh+   Rh+/Rh-

Rh-     Rh+/Rh-    Rh-/Rh-

For the probability for it to be a girl, we know that there are 50-50 chances for the next baby to be a boy or a girl. The chance of being Rh+ are 75% for the next baby.

Hence,

3/4 multiplied by 1/2 is 3/8 ,which is the chance for the next baby to be a girl with Rh+ factor.

How is a model of the carbon cycle different from the actual cycling of carbon in an ecosystem?
Lerok [7]

Answer:

The biological carbon cycle is not only faster than the geological carbon cycle. The amount of carbon taken up by photosynthesis and released back to the atmosphere by respiration each year is 1,000 times greater than the amount of carbon that moves through the geological cycle on an annual basis.

Photosynthesis, respiration, volcanic eruption, decomposition
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

-> photosynthesis: the process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize nutrients from carbon dioxide and water. Photosynthesis in plants generally involves the green pigment chlorophyll and generates oxygen as a by-product.

-> respiration: a process in living organisms involving the production of energy, typically with the intake of oxygen and the release of carbon dioxide from the oxidation of complex organic substances.

-> volcanic eruption: Volcanic eruptions happen when lava and gas are discharged from a volcanic. Volcanic eruptions often cause temporary food shortages and volcanic ash landslides called Lahar. The most dangerous type of volcanic eruption is referred to as a 'glowing avalanche'.

-> decomposition: Dead organisms are broken down into smaller pieces by the process of decay.

Explanation:

Hope you get your answer correct!

Have a good day :D
