5 0

Answer:

The odd is zero.

Explanation:

Assuming the Huntington disease allele is represent by b. Nomal allele will be B which is the alternate form.

The genotype of the 25 years old woman will be Bb, since she heterozygote.

The genotype of the husband will be BB, since he's free from the trait.

Crossing both genotypes:

 Bb   x   BB = BB, BB, Bb and Bb.

The genotypes of the offspring will be either BB or Bb. They either free from the trait or heterozygote.

<em>Hence, the odds that the couple will have a child with the disorder is 0. They can only produce heterozygotes or totally normal children.</em>

The red dots are salt. What type of solution is this cell in, and in which direction will
Leto [7]

Answer:

A) hypertonic, out of the cell.

Explanation:

When cells are exposed to high levels of salt (sodium chloride) they lose water by osmosis and shrink. The cytoplasm condenses and the movement of cellular components, such as the cytoskeleton and organelles, stops. Cells adapt to high salt by quickly importing salt in order to attract water and regain volume, at the expense of increased salt concentration. Unlike cell volume, the movements of cellular components are slow to recover and, depending on the dose of salt, may not recover fully.

What causes water molecules to stick together in liquid water
Serhud [2]

Answer:

This sticking together of like substances is called cohesion. Depending on how attracted molecules of the same substance are to one another, the substance will be more or less cohesive. Hydrogen bonds cause water to be exceptionally attracted to each other. Therefore, water is very cohesive.
