4 0

Answer:

d. 0

Explanation:

Since the condition is caused by a recessive allele, it means each of the parents have two copies of the affected allele for the trait. One copy of an affected allele will be inherited from the father and another affected allele will be inherited from the mother.

<em>Two alleles for the disorder will be inherited each from the either parent. Hence, the odds of having only one allele for the disorder is zero (0)</em>

The process of natural selection
Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

3. shapes the genetic characteristics of a species as a consequence of adaptation

Explanation:

Natural selection is a process characterized by how plants and animals that are able to adapt to changes in their environment are able to survive and reproduce while those that are unable to adapt do not survive.

In natural selection, those variations in the genotype which increases an organism’s chances of survival and procreation are preserved and multiplied from generation to generation at the expense of less advantageous variations.

Natural selection is a way of enhancing the preservation of a group of organisms that are best adjusted to the physical and biological conditions of their environment and may also result in their improvement in some cases.

wlad13 [49]

Answer:

The correct answer is- C. double or single-stranded DNA or double or single-stranded RNA.

The nucleic acid in viruses can be of different types. It can be single or double-stranded DNA or single or double-stranded RNA. Their genome can be linear or circular. They inject their genetic material in their host and introduce it in the host genome. Therefore the correct answer is C.

Coach Taylor is trying to explain the negative side effects smoking has to athletic performance. Which of these options include
Darina [25.2K]

Smoking have life-threatening effects on a smoker's lungs. A smoker is at a high risk of lung cancer and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. In order for a coach to explain the destructive effects of smoking on the performance of the athletes, it is best to show a diagram of the flow of the oxygen-rich blood in a non-smoker's body and then the flow of blood with less-oxygen in smoker's body. This will show the difference between the two situations clearly, and show how the airway resistance effects the performance of a person.

Hence, the answer is 'option C - Diagram the flow of oxygen-rich blood in non-smoker's body and the, diagram of flow of blood with less oxygen in smoker's body'.
