Duchenne muyscular dystrophy is caused by a mutation on the X chromosome, so a male gets it from his mother's X, if she is a carrier. The male child gets a Y and no X from his father, so the disease is always transmitted through the X from the mother. If a female gets Duchenne muscular dystrophy she has to have two X chromosomes, one from a carrier mother and another from from an affected father. This is virtually impossible because most males die before childbearing age and there is no way a female child can get an X from a man who does not live long enough to procreate. About eight percent of carrier women do show some muscle weakness, but they do not have the disease.
Hello! Autotrophs make their own food (plants) and heterotrophs consume other organisms for energy (consumers.) Autotrophs use the process of photosynthesis to produce the oxygen as one of its products. Heterotrophs use the oxygen produced by the autotrophs to perform cellular respiration, which releases carbon dioxide that plants use; it's a balanced cycle. Hope this helps!

Out of the following given choices;
a) The amount of oxygen produced
b) The rate of ATP synthesis by ATP synthase in the chloroplast
c) The rate at which NADPH is produced
d) The rate at which the protons are transported into the thylakoid
The answer is; A
The photosystem captures energy from sunlight and uses it to split a water molecule. After splitting the water molecule (by taking an electron), the protein complex transports the electron to plastoquinone. The splitting of water molecules results in evolving of oxygen molecules. The hydrogen is what is used to reduce carbon dioxide to glucose.
High rates of
volcanism, earthquakes, and mountain building are the sites of subduction
zones. They occur in convergent boundaries found in tectonic plates of both
oceanic and continental crusts. Subduction zones occur when one tectonic plate
moves under another tectonic plate, sinking into the mantle as the plates
converge again.

Regions that are
within subduction zones experience an average rate of convergence of 2-8
centimeters per year. They are subject to many earthquakes because of the
collisions that occur within the tectonic plates. </span>
