3 0
A pedigree is a symbolic diagram that is used to show the presence and presentation of specific alleles in the families of both parents. This is used mostly for genetically controlled diseases and conditions. If a couple is in genetic counseling a pedigree is valuable in helping to determine the risk of that couple having a child that will either present with the condition or be a carrier for the condition. A pedigree is also composed in a way, with shapes and colors, that is an easy to understand visual representation of the inheritance patterns.

A4 kg object possesses 18 J of kinetic energy. What is its velocity?
Digiron [165]

Answer:

velocity = 3 m/s

Explanation:

kinetic energy = 1/2 * mass(kg) * velocity²

Using the formula:

                                     18 = 1/2 * 4 * velocity²

                                      9 = velocity²

                                     velocity = 3 m/s

What problem does the chromosome number of various organisms present to evolutionists?
SashulF [63]
Chromosome number varies from one organism to another. or example, humans have 46 chromosomes while bacteria have only one chromosome.

The problem associated with the chromosome number of various organisms faced by evolutionists is that with the decrease in the size of an organism, the number of chromosomes also decrease. Thus, it becomes difficult to find and study the chromosomes.
