Answer:

Probability that at least one of them will be affected = 3/16 + 3/16 + 1/16 = 7/16

Explanation:

If both parents are heterozygous for a genetic disease; Xx and Xx

The offspring's they will produce will be as follows ; XX, Xx, xX, xx

  • Probability that first child will be affected = 1/4
  • Probability that first child will not be affected = 1 - 1/4 = 3/4
  • Probability that first child have it and second does not = 1/4 x 3/4 = 3/16
  • Probability that first child does not have it, second child have it = 3/4 x 1/4 = 3/16
  • Probability that both of them will have it = 1/4 x 1/4 = 1/16
  • Hence, Probability that at least one of them will be affected = 3/16 + 3/16 + 1/16 = 7/16

if a group of _____ species lived together in a small area, the carrying capacity of that area would probably collapse quickly??
alukav5142 [94]
The answer is K-selected.

The population size of K-selected species is fairly constant in time, unlike the population size of r-selected species. r-selected species are usually bellow carrying capacity and the population size is density independent. On the contrary, K-selected species are usually near or at carrying capacity and the population size is density dependent.

Patent fingerprints, or visible fingerprints, are left on a smooth surface when blood, ink, or some other liquid comes in contac
lana [24]

Answer:

Answer is option A (True).

Explanation:

The fingerprint pattern of an individual is unique as no two individuals have the same pattern and it remains unchanged. So fingerprints are considered as one of the main types of physical evidence that can be recovered from a crime scene for identification purposes.

The three types of fingerprint impressions are;

Patent fingerprints or visible fingerprints - They are visible prints that are left on a smooth surface of another object when foreign substances such as blood, ink, or some other liquid present on the skin of a finger come in contact with the surface. These prints are easily identifiable and are visible with the naked eye without any technological enhancements.

Plastic prints - They are visible, three-dimensional prints that are left on soft surfaces such as freshly painted surfaces or materials like wax, gum, clay, soap, etc when a finger comes in contact with that surface resulting in an indentation. These prints are easily observable and no enhancement is required.

Latent prints - They are invisible fingerprint impressions that are left on a surface as a result of the perspiration, moisture or oil found in the ridges of fingers. Since they are not visible to the naked eye, enhancement is required upon their collection.

In one year, 35 giraffes are born to a population. What is this number?
77julia77 [94]

Answer;

-Birth rate

Explanation;

-The birth rate is the total number of live births per 1,000 in a population in a year or period. For example; in one year, 35 giraffes are born to a population.

-A population is defined as a group of individuals of the same species living and interbreeding within a given area. Members of a population often rely on the same resources, are subject to similar environmental constraints, and depend on the availability of other members to persist over time. Scientists study a population by examining how individuals in that population interact with each other and how the population as a whole interacts with its environment.
