How can an individual with a recessive genetic disorder have parents who are not afflicted?

1 answer:

6 0

Both parents must be carriers, which means they have the heterozygous gene (one uppercase letter & one lower case letter). They will still carry that mutated gene (because they have a lower case letter), and their offspring will have a 25% chance of getting a recessive disorder. The percentage is low but still possible.

What is a positive and negative impact?<br><br> (Giving brainliest)

12345 [234]

Answer:

Positive affect" refers to one’s propensity to experience positive emotions and interact with others and with life’s challenges in a positive way. Conversely, "negative affect" involves experiencing the world in a more negative way, feeling negative emotions and more negativity in relationships and surroundings.

These two states are independent of one another, though related; someone can be high in positive and negative affect, high in just one, or low in both. Both states affect our lives in many ways, particularly when it comes to stress and how we handle it.
