The carbon footprint can be decreased by a great amount if the incandescent bulbs are replaced with the compact fluorescent bulbs. The compact fluorescent bulbs uses approximately seventy five percent less energy than the incandescent bulbs as they do not use heating mechanism to light. This leads  to less emission of the green house gases and thereby reducing the carbon footprint.

Hence, the correct answer is 'option a - replacing incandescent bulbs with compact fluorescent bulbs'.

Duchene muscular dystrophy, or DMD, is a recessive, x-linked disease. What would you expect to see in the offspring of a woman w
Harman [31]

It is expected to see in the offspring of a woman who has DMD and a man who does not have the disease that all of their sons and none of their daughters will have the disease

Option A.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

Duchene muscular dystrophy, also known as DMD is a recessive, x-linked disease. It occurs when there is a mutation in the dystrophin gene. This mutation further affects the muscles of the body leading it to degenerate and ultimately death.

When a woman with DMD and a man without DMD have an offspring, their daughters and the sons will get the mutated gene signature from the mother as she is the carrier. But since the father has normal genes, the daughters will become the carriers and will not be afflicted by it. This is because the normal X chromosome from the father will be passed on to them. The sons on the other hand will have the disease as they will get one of their mother's X chromosome which would be carrying the mutated gene.

Vinvika [58]

A facultative anaerobe.

Explanation:

Anaerobes are organisms which can produce energy via the process of fermentation in the absence of oxygen. The anaerobes can be classified as facultative anaerobes and obligate anaerobes.

Facultative anaerobes are those which can carry out respiration in presence of oxygen but can choose to follow the fermentation pathway if oxygen is absent. Fermentation also uses glucose.

Aerobic respiration produces 32 molecules of ATP from one  molecules of glucose while fermentation produces only 2 molecules of ATP . Thus when the organism switches to fermentation pathway it utilizes more and more glucose to reach its energy demands.

Considering all the above points we can conclude that observations indicate that the organism is a facultative anaerobe.

Which of the following would NOT be considered a reemerging disease?
nignag [31]

Answer:

Option D, West Nile virus fever/encephalitis

Explanation:

A re-emerging disease is one which after a long span of time has re-emerged again as the microbes causing such diseases have become resistant to the    existing drugs.

Here tuberculosis , malaria and gonorrhea  are the re-emerging disease as the microbes causing these diseases have become resistant to the available drugs and thus there is a need to produce medicines that  could fight with the re-emerged multi drug resistant tuberculosis , Malaria and gonorrhea

Hence, option D is correct.
