Jennifer and her husband were both carriers of the allele

The father of Jennifers child was also carrying the recessive allele for TSD, if we label the dominant A and the recessive(disease allele) it becomes clear. Jennifer will be a heterozygous Aa, carrying the allele for the disease but as she is heterozygous the allele is not expressed. Likewise the father of her children is Aa. Thus there is a 25% chance of and offspring inheriting both recessive alleles from mother and father and thus expressing the disease. This is a prime example of how recessive traits can go many generations before expressing themselves.

1. Do these results support the claim that application of the jewelweed is a good treatment for symptoms caused by poison ivy? E
-Dominant- [34]

A claim is an unverified statement or theory which is made about something which may or may not be true.

<h3>Verification of a claim</h3>

For a claim to be validated, i.e, proven to be true (in science), then there needs to be tests and experiments which needs to be carried out to show that the claim is valid.

With this in mind, if for example if there's a claim that jewelweed helps to treat symptoms caused by poison ivy, then there needs to be a controlled experiment to see if this is true or not.

If after a series of experiments and it can be established without any iota of doubt, then the claim is valid and the scientific process will move to the next stage.

Please note that your question is incomplete so I gave you a general overview to give you a better understanding of the concept.

The movement of molecules against the gradient from low concentration to high concentration using ATP
Bogdan [553]

It is also possible to move substances across membranes against their concentration gradient (from areas of low concentration to areas of high concentration). ... If the energy of ATP is directly used to pump molecules against their concentration gradient, the transport is called primary active transport.

Hope this helps
