Answer:

The answer is 0%.

Explanation:

If X⁻ represent the recessive allele that causes colorblind, and X⁺ represents the dominant allele, thus:

X⁻Y is the genotype of the colorblind man (he is carrier and he has the disease)

X⁺X⁺ is the genotype of the woman (she has normal vision and is not carrier)

When they have children together, the offspring will have the following genotypes:

X⁻Y   x   X⁺X⁺ =    X⁻X⁺   ;    X⁻X⁺   ;   X⁺Y   ;   X⁺Y

Summarizing, they will be 50% X⁻X⁺ (women with normal vision, carrier) and 50% X⁺Y (men with normal vision, non carrier).

No child will have the disease because its expresses when the genotype is homozygous for colorblind allele (X⁻X⁻).

If a healthy 6-year-old child (who does not have evidence of immunity to varicella) was exposed to a confirmed case of varicella
Valentin [98]

Administer varicella vaccine to the health 6-year old child (who does not have evidence of immunity to varicella) was exposed to a confirmed case of varicella 2 days ago.

Explanation:

It is seen that if a child receives varicella vaccine between 3 to 5 days of exposure, he is safe as disease will not appear in him and would be saved for future infections.

Varicella vaccine is given for prevention against small pox. It is expected once immunised with varicella body will produce antibodies for a span of twenty years or more.

Which could be a pathway of food through an ecosystem?​
algol13

Answer:

Sun > Grass > Deer > Lion

Explanation:

The sun begins a food chain because its light is needed for a plant, in this case grass, to grow.

An animal that eats grass is the deer, who is a primary consumer.

An animal that eats deer is the lion, who is a tertiary consumer in this case.

The lion has no natural predator, and thus is at the top of this food chain.

This ecosystem can be one found where grass, deer and lions exist, for example, the deciduous forest in the eastern United States.

Sodium is an example of an alkali metal. The alkali metals are found in the leftmost column of the periodic table, known as Grou
____ [38]

Answer:

The reactivity greatens the farther you go down on the periodic table. Lithium will have the weakest reaction, and cesium will have the greatest reaction. Patterns like this are useful to scientists because it shows which elements are the most reactive and which aren't. The farther down and to the left you go within the periodic table, the more reactive the elements become. The farther up and to the right you go, the less reactive they become.
