Answer:

Phenotype is physical appearance of the individual while genotype is the genetic makeup of the individual.

Explanation:

Two parents having normal phenotype but effected individual is due to the parents may be Carrier for the particular deseis and the gene responsible for the desies may be in recessive form and the parents are not effected. The gene is not present in dominant form and can not show its effect but the parents are not effected and the daughter may be affected by certain desiese.

Answer: This is possible only if the two parents ar e heterozygous for the trait and the genetic disorder is inherited in a recessive fashion.

Explanation: Phenotype is the outward appearance of an organism. Genotype is the genetic makeup of an individual, a genotype can not be seen but it is manifested in an observable trait known as phenotype. Every trait is controlled by a pair of gene inherited one from each parent. When the two parents are heterozygous for the trait (having one dominant allele and one recessive allele for the trait), a child can inherit two recessive alleles one from each parent.

For example, when two parents are heterozygous for sickle cell disease AS, a cross between them will produce an offspring with sickle cell disease. As x As =AA, As, As, and ss. (A is dominant and s is recessive).

Why are autosomal genetic disorders usually recessive

Sever21 [200]

Autosomal recessive is one of several ways that a trait, disorder, or disease can be passed down through families. An autosomal recessive disorder means two copies of an abnormal gene must be present in order for the disease or trait to develop

Answer:

A group of parasites called myxozoans have traditionally been considered simple multicellular protists. However, because these organisms possess stinging cells, some scientists consider them to be animals in the phylum that is named for such cells, the cnidarians.

Explanation:

Cnidarians are animals with radial symmetry, that is, their bodies can be divided, by different planes, into equal parts. It includes hydras, jellyfish, anemones and marine corals. Its body is a kind of sac with an opening (the mouth) surrounded by a circle of tentacles. Some have a dominant jellyfish phase, others polyp, or both. They present defensive nematocysts with stinging action.

In a neuron, the opening of sodium gates typically leads to __________.

Mashcka [7]

In a neuron, the opening of sodium gates typically leads to open and allows the exit of sodium ions out the cell. The neuron that contains for why myelinated fibers conduct signals faster than unmyelinated fbers are the diffusion of ions along the axoplasm is faster. At the same time, a traveling wave of excitation is a nerve signal.
