<span>Wax is a simple form of lipid
molecule. It consists of a long-chain of alcohol and a fatty acid. Many of the
natural occurring wax found in nature are used as ingredients for products
found in stores like ointments, hand cream, and cosmetics.
Plants have
naturally occurring wax on their leaves and stems; these serve as coatings to
prevent them from losing excess water. Other forms of wax found in nature are beeswax,
used by bees to make their cones for honey and eggs; sperm whales have
spermaceti wax found in their blubber; and carnuba wax, is an ingredient
commonly used for car waxes, commonly found in Brazilian palm trees. </span>

A is the correct answer. :)
Answer:
1/8 (12.5%)
Explanation:
An autosomal recessive disease is an inherited disease in which an individual need to receive both defective alleles at the same gene <em>locus</em> to be expressed in the phenotype. In this case, both parents are carriers of the recessive mutant allele associated with the sickle cell anaemia trait, thereby both parents are heterozygous, ie., each parent has one copy of the normal allele 'H' and one copy of the defective mutant allele 'h' associated with this condition. In consequence, their first child has a 1/4 (25%) chance of having sickle-cell anaemia. Moreover, the chance of having a girl is 1/2 and the chance of having a boy is 1/2, thereby the final chance of having a girl sickle cell anaemia individual is 1/4 x 1/2 = 1/8 (12.5%).
- Parental cross for sickle cell anaemia trait = Hh x Hh >>
- F1 = 1/4 HH (normal); 1/2 Hh (normal); 1/4 hh (sickle cell anaemia) >>
- Sex proportion of sickle cell anaemia individuals = 1/8 female sickle cell anaemia individuals + 1/8 male sickle cell anaemia individuals (1/8 + 1/8 = 1/4)
ID isn't even genuine science, and it's an affront to religion too: their hypotheses make God look moronic and compel him to things that we don't yet get it. What ID advocates do is they discover something that isn't yet comprehended (at a certain point, it was a bacterial flagellum) and essentially wave their hands and say "God did it!", and afterward when that thing has been legitimately clarified by genuine researchers, they discover something else that hasn't been clarified yet and rehash the process.
