Scientist are studying an 500g. Sample of a radioactive element. Which has an annual decay rate of 11%. How many grams of the sa
gtnhenbr [62]

Nothing

Explanation:

Mass of the sample = 500g

Decay rate per anum = 11%

Unknown:

Mass of sample remaining after 10yrs = ?

Solution:

  This is a simple percentages problem;

The radioactive sample loses \frac{11}{100 } x 500g of sample per year;

  this is a loss of 55g per year;

In 10years time, the sample would have lost 10 x 55g = 550g of element.

Since our sample is not up to 550g, then no amount of sample will remain after 10yrs.

kondaur [170]

Answer:

Because hemophilia is an X-linked recessive condition.

Explanation:

As the problem states, hemophilia is an X-linked recessive condition.

  • Meaning that in Queen Victoria's female descendants (coded XX) which inherited the Queen's one allele, for hemophilia to appear in them it would be necessary to inherit another hemophillia-carrying allele from the father.
  • The Queen's male descendants (coded XY) would always manifest hemophilia if they inherited the Queen's hemophilia allele, as they possesed only one X gene.

Why are polygenic diseases less suited to gene therapy?
Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

<u>Polygenic therapies are more likely to show </u><u>unintended effects</u><u> in other regions of the genome likely resulting in harmful diseases.</u>

<u />

Explanation:

Gene therapy involves biotechnological techniques that add or remove gene sequences in the genome. These are typically used in eliminating harmful genes that cause genetic diseases or disorders and are generally thought to improve an individual's quality of life.

Polygenic traits are controlled by several genes. Similarly, polygenic diseases may be caused by variations in several gene sequences. These include hypertension, heart disease, and diabetes. Polygenic therapies are more likely to show unintended effects in other regions of the genome, leading to other deleterious disease-causing effects.
