The disorder where the grandfather and the grandchild are affected is related with the X chromosome and is called Sex linked or X linked disorder.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

All the sex linked disorders are recessive in character i.e the normal allele is dominant over the mutated allele. In females, there are 2 X chromosomes, so the mutated allele is only expressed when there are both the mutated alleles, else its masked by the dominant normal allele. But in males, there's only one X chromosome, so if a mutated allele is present, it's readily expressed.

If the Grandfather is diseased, then he must have that mutated allele in X chromosome. Through reproduction, its received by the mother, but she is normal because the other allele received from grandmother was normal. But mother has one of the X chromosomes with mutated allele, which is received by the grandson who again becomes diseased. So the disorder must be X linked disorder

All the statements about extrinsic motivation is not true EXCEPT

nalin [4]

I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option B. Extrinsic motivation is compelled by one’s own enjoyment. It is a behavior or response that is driven by external rewards so it will really depend on the individual. Hope this answers the question.

Water will act as a Brønsted-Lowry acid with which of the following molecules?

rusak2 [61]

According to Bronsted-Lowry acid concept
an acid is a that donate a proton" and a base is a "proton acceptor."so
will look for that molecule to which H2O "donates" H+to become OH−. so answer will be..
. NH3+H2O→NH+4+OH−
so correct option is NH3
hope it helps

After a dye diffuses uniformly throughout a glass of water, the dye molecules are no longer moving. True or false?

Anton [14]

The answer is false, liquid molecules continue to move even after the concentration is uniform.

Diffusion happens because there’s a concentration gradient between the dye and the water, therefore dye molecules moves to the water area. But note that this is only the net movement of the molecules, which means, even if more molecules are moving towards water, there are still some dye molecules that are moving in the opposite direction.

So, after the concentration is equal, the motion of the dye molecules does not stop, they still move in random directions, but there’s no net movement instead, as there’s no concentration gradient. Remember molecules are always moving in all directions , it just depends on whether there’s a net movement or not. If there’s no net movement, the amount of molecules moving to each and every direction is always equal.
