Why are there no carriers with dominant pedigrees?
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]
You can't have a carrier with a dominant pedigree because other wise than individual or organism would be afflicted by the gene and render them incapable of being a carrier. A carrier is an individual/organism that has a normal phenotype (meaning it is not afflicted by said gene) but is carrying the gene that could cause disease or whatever the affect may be. In this case the gene would have to be homozygous recessive to be expressed. Hopefully this helps!

Answer:

It will take 83 days to recover the extra cost

Explanation:

To determine the length of time it will take to recover the extra cost, it will be logical that we compare the $200 extra cost to the total savings in running cost made for a year and covert this into days

The total savings in running cost is the cost savings per hour multiplied by the number of hours in a year.

The calculations are set below:

Savings in running cost per hour = $0.1

Total savings in a year = 365 days ×  $0.1 × 24 = $876

Extra cost of Energy Star refrigerator = $200

If total savings for a year is  $876 , then equivalent length of time to save $200 would be

Length of time = 200/876 × 365 days = 83 days

It will take 83 days to recover the extra cost
