Proteins are built from a basic set of 20 amino acids, but there are only four bases. Simple calculations show that a minimum of three bases is required to encode at least 20 amino acids. Genetic experiments showed that an amino acid is in fact encoded by a group of three bases, or codon.

A child is born to parents that both have hypophosphatemic rickets, a disease that is caused by a sex-linked dominant trait. Wha
Sati [7]

Answer:

75%

Explanation:

Hypophosphatemic rickets is a disorder characterized by hypophosphatemia (low level of phosphate in the blood), defective intestinal absorption of calcium, and rickets (impaired mineralization of cartilaginous growth plates)  or osteomalacia (impaired mineralization of the osteoid) unresponsive to vitamin D. It can be inherited or acquired.

When it comes to inheritable hypophosphatemic rickets, the disorder is most often inherited in an X-linked dominant manner. This means that the gene is inherited through the X chromosome and that one dominant allele is enough to cause it.

As the mother is heterozygous for the trait, she has one dominant and one recessive allele (XHXh). The father has one X chromosome, which he inherited from his mother, and as he has the condition, the dominant allele will be present on it (XHY).

This means that, if the child is a girl, she will definitely have the disorder. Girls inherit one X chromosome from each of their parents. Even if she inherited the one with the recessive allele from her mother, she would get the one with the dominant allele from her father.

If the child is a boy, he has a 50% chance to inherit the condition. Boys inherit the Y chromosome from their father and the X chromosome from their mother. As the mother is heterozygous, he can either get the chromosome without the dominant allele or the one with it. This means that there is a 50% chance of inheriting the disorder.

If we say that there are equal chances of this couple having female and male children, when we combine these results, we get a 75% chance of them inheriting hypophosphatemic rickets.

Why is survival of the fittest misleading?
kirill [66]
The phrase survival of the fittest can be misleading because survival of the fittest means the more fit you are the better chance you have at survival but if you're in the wild and use smarts like setting traps you can over power the other animals same thing with humans we are not the strongest animal on the planet but we evolved to have brains that are smart enough to process info so that we could adapt to our environments.

ivanzaharov [21]

In the carbon cycle, decomposers break down dead material from plants and other organisms and release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, where it's available to plants for photosynthesis. ... After death, decomposition releases carbon into the air, soil and water.
