what's the difference between these- single or multiple genes, and dominant, recessive or sex-linked genes

1 answer:

6 0

A single gene disorder is one that's known to be caused by a single gene. Multiple gene disorders, however, can be caused by multiple gene combinations and other factors. Dominant genes are always expressed in the offspring, while recessive genes are only expressed if the offspring recieves the recessive gene from both parents. Sex-linked genetic disorders occur most often in men, and are caused by a single-gene disorder gene being on the X chromosome but not the Y, so that the offspring needs only one recessive gene to have the trait/disorder.

Answer:

No it is not a proper waste disposal method

Explanation:

A man travelling in a train and throwing an empty packet off food on the platform and not inside the waste basket provided is definitely not a proper waste disposal. the best waste disposal method he would have used was throwing the waste in a waste bin

waste water management is the process of managing waste water emanating from homes or industries and controlling the negative impact this waste water would have on the environment. and one way to do that is the proper treatment of the water which entails removing contaminants from the waste water and converting the waste water into a useful effluent that can be used again ,
