Answer:

1/4

Explanation:

Cystic fibrosis is a recessive disorder and therefore, is expressed only in homozygous recessive genotype. Let's assume that the allele "c" is responsible for the disease in the homozygous state. Since the couple already has a child with cystic fibrosis (cc), they both are heterozygous carriers for the disease.

The genotype of male and female each is "Cc". A cross between Cc x Cc gives progeny in the following phenotype ratio=1/4 diseased: 1/2 normal carriers: 1/4 normal. Therefore, the probability of getting a diseased child for them is 1/4.

How could tides and ocean currents move plastics around the ocean?
Ulleksa [173]

The plastic trash gets transported all through the planet with the help of ocean currents. The term Great Pacific Garbage Patch was first named by Captain Charles Moore. He found that huge intact substances like cups, bottles, boxes, bags, and fishing nets, and other millions of smaller pieces of plastic over an estimated region covering about 650000 to 16000000 square kilometers.  

The garbage patches are witnessed in the oceans of the world wherever there is gyre. The gyres refer to the enormous circulating regions of water comprising the prime surface currents of the globe, mediated by the existing winds. The plastics would have got caught up in a gyre and would have been ended up in a region, known as the garbage patch.  

The currents present in the gyre take in the floating substance from around the periphery and trap it in the center. The currents and waves dissociate the plastic components into smaller pieces, however, it never goes away, and gets transported to different regions with the help of currents.  

The ocean currents mediate and transport useful things like organic nutrients, heat energy, and marine species from one location to another of the planet. However, at the same time, they can also transport other unnecessary floating things like plastic garbage.  

The plastic, mainly the larger pieces that float on the surface are transported at a faster rate than the water present beneath it, this is because the wind that moves the current also moves the plastic. In this sense, the plastic is flowing freely all over the ocean surfaces of the globe.

If you want to see something in fine detail, you should focus the light on which part of your retina?
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

If you want to see something in fine detail, you should focus the light the cornea. The lens works together with the cornea to focus light correctly on retina.

When light hit on retina special cells called photo receptors turn the light into electrical signals. The lens are the clear part of eyes behind the iris that help to focus light and image on retina to see something clearly.Lens is the important part of eye when it comes to focusing light so that we can see perfect clear image.

The retina is the most sensitive part which can effect by more light because retina convert incoming light into electrical impulse.

Plant reproduction by tissue culture differs from reproduction by meristem culture because
Leviafan [203]

The answer is; B

Meristem cells are totipotent meaning they can differentiate to any type of plant cells. Therefore they can produce a variety of plant type depending on epigenetic. However, tissue culture is derived from already differentiated cells. Therefore these cells are already determined and can only produce cell type of that plant from which they were derived.
