The correct answer is (a) Solar Energy

The difference in temperature between the equator and pole of the earth results in formation of wind patterns. The difference in absorption of solar energy leads to buoyancy forces which results in rotation of earth. This rotation of earth causes the wind flow. Hence, the solar energy causes wind to flow which ultimately serves as a source of mechanical energy in wind.

. Jack and Jill are thinking about starting a family and they come to you with a question about a rare recessive genetic disease
cupoosta [38]

Answer:

The chance of  having a Child who is a Heterozygote  is 50% , The chance of having a child that will completely come down with Alpers syndrome is 0%

Explanation:

Jack  has a history of Alpers in his family

Jill has no history

lets assume Jack is a carrier : Ab ( because that is how he could have survived the first 10 lethal  years )

Jill : AA

Therefore the probability/chance of Jack and Jill having a child with Alpers ( carrier ) syndrome will be 50 % as shown below

AA * Ab = AA , Ab, AA, Ab

The child produced by Jack and Jill will only be a carrier of the syndrome and not completely affected by the syndrome
