A woman without hemophilia marries a man with hemophilia they have a daughter with hemophilia what is the genotype of the mother
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

Mother- XXH

Father- XHY

Explanation:

The mother is a carrier for hemophilia and since the disease is sex linked and found on the X chromosome, only one of the alleles has that H allele attached to it. The father is male so he only has one X chromosome, which is why he is effected by the disease and not just a carrier like the mother.

Answer: The greenhouse gas emissions from the extraction of bitumen and the use of large quantities of water.

Explanation:

Bitumen is a natural flammable organic matter formed from kerogen in the process of petroleum generation, which is soluble in carbon disulfide. Asphalt and mineral wax are examples of hydrocarbons which are part of bitumen. Conventional oil is extracted by wells while <u>oil sands deposits are extracted using surface mining sectioning techniques, or are flowed to wells by in situ techniques that reduce bitumen viscosity by steam and/or solvents.</u> So, unlike crude oil extracted in oil wells, bitumen requires an open-pit mining operation, in which large tracts are washed with a mixture of water and chemicals to separate the bitumen from a mixture of sand and clay.

Two consequences of this practice are:

  • The greenhouse gas emissions from the extraction of bitumen are larger than the extraction of conventional oil. The emissions produced contribute  to enhance the greenhouse effect and cause global warming. The greenhouse effect occurs when certain gases retain part of the energy emitted by the earth's soil when heated by the sun's radiation. This phenomenon occurs naturally, and thanks to it, the average temperature of the Earth is about 14º C (57.2 °F). The problem occurs when these greenhouse gases increase in the atmosphere and the amount of energy that is not released into space also increases and, with it, the Earth's temperature.
  • The extraction of bitumen from oil sands requires the use of large quantities of water, and even though water used here can be recycled, only a small amounts is returned to the natural cycle. Also, spills from the transportation of the oil could damage soils and waterways, increasing water pollution. This toxic water  could get into surface.
