The branch of biological science that studies the external and internal structure of the body and the physical relationship among body parts is called ___Anatomy_____.
Answer:
Women who carry one copy of the mutated gene still have normal color vision because they have another copy, which is not mutated, in the other X chromosome that will be the dominant one. As a result, the women are carriers of the mutated gene but not color blind.
Explanation:
Colorblindness is a sex-linked mutation. A woman has two X chromosomes, while a man has one X chromosome and one Y chromosome. The mutated gene that causes color blindness is on the X chromosome, and it is OPN1LW. So if a woman has one mutated OPN1LW in one of her two X chromosomes, the OPN1LW gene in the other X chromosome will be the dominant one stopping the woman from being colorblind.
In the case of men, as they only have one X chromosome, if there is a mutation on the OPN1LW in the X chromosome, the men will be colorblind because there is no extra copy of the gene, as it is in women.
Go to the Prenatal Testing page for more details. If one parent has sickle cell trait (HbAS) and the other has sickle cell anaemia (HbSS) there is a one in two(50%) chance that any given child will get sickle cell trait and a one in two chance that any given child will get sickle cell anaemia.
Answer: B) there is a decrease in kinetic energy and the molecules get closer together.
Explanation: Kinetic energy is directly proportional to temperature, thus as temperature decreases, kinetic energy also decreases.
Gas is the state of matter in which particles are very loosely bound and hence can easily move past one another very easily and have highest kinetic energy.
Liquid is the state of matter in which particles are loosely bound and hence can move past one another easily and have high kinetic energy.
Solid is the state of matter in which particles are tightly bound and hence can not move easily and have low kinetic energy.
Thus on moving from gaseous to solid state, the kinetic energy decreases and the molecules get closer together.
