Answer:

E. integumentary

Explanation:

The integumentary system is consisted of hair, feathers, skin, glands, nerves, nails, with its main function being to act as a protective barrier of the body from the outside world. It helps in regulation of the body temperature, retaining body fluids, elimination of waste products, and protection form diseases. The waterproof feathers of the ducks are a nice example of this. They manage to keep their bodies warm in the water, thus helps them a lot in the regulation of the body temperature by being a barrier between the body and the water.

Answer: D- Dicer

Explanation:

Dicer, also known as endoribonuclease Dicer or helicase with RNase motif, is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the DICER1 gene. Being part of the RNase III family, Dicer cleaves double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) and pre-microRNA (pre-miRNA) into short double-stranded RNA fragments called small interfering RNA and microRNA, respectively. These fragments are approximately 20-25 base pairs long with a two-base overhang on the 5' ends. Dicer facilitates the activation of the RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC), which is essential for RNA interference. RISC has a catalytic component Argonaute, which is an endonuclease capable of degrading messenger RNA (mRNA).

In humans, Rh+ blood is dominant to Rh–. A man and woman are both Rh+, but their first child is Rh–.
shusha [124]

Answer:

<em> a) There is a 25% chance that their next child will be Rh-.</em>

<em>b) There is a 3/8  chance for a Rh+ girl</em>

Explanation:

As we know from the question that Rh is a dominant gene. A person having only one allele for the gene will show its effect as it is the dominant character.

This means that for a person to lack the Rh factor, it shall not have any allele with the Rh factor.

To illustrate the result, lets draw a punnet square:

            Rh+         Rh-

Rh+    Rh+/Rh+   Rh+/Rh-

Rh-     Rh+/Rh-    Rh-/Rh-

For the probability for it to be a girl, we know that there are 50-50 chances for the next baby to be a boy or a girl. The chance of being Rh+ are 75% for the next baby.

Hence,

3/4 multiplied by 1/2 is 3/8 ,which is the chance for the next baby to be a girl with Rh+ factor.
