Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

Adaptive radiation

Explanation:

Adaptive radiation occurs when an ancestral species move to a new environment that has various resources that are necessary for survival and also has environmental conditions that would ensure its offspring adapt well over time. In this new environment, the ancestral species would produce offspring with different traits and behaviors that will allow them to survive in this new environment while occupying their various niches. Over a relatively short time, different species arising from the common ancestor would occupy the new environment.

When measuring a patient's tympanic temperature, the nurse would angle the thermometer probe in what direction?

never [62]

In practice it is enough to simply angle the thermometer towards the direction of the ear canal. More specifically you are trying to target the direction of the tympanic membrane located in the middle ear (one of the parts of the ear; the other parts being outer and inner)

Some maneuvers, although not completely necessary, may include pulling the ear lobe upwards and outwards for babies. This is to straighten the ear canal and is more often done when using otoscopes. For adults, we pull the ear downward and outward.

Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency (G6PD) is inherited as an X-linked recessive allele in humans. A woman whose father

prohojiy [21]

Answer:

(a) 1/2; (b) no

Explanation:

Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency (G6PD) is an X-linked recessive disorder and the woman's father was diseased so it means that woman is a carrier of the allele but has normal phenotype. It means that she will have XXᵇ genotype.

In contrast to this, her husband is diseased so his genotype will be XᵇY.

The Punnett square diagram related to the cross is attached.

(a) Proportion of their sons expected to be G6PD is 1/2:

They both may give birth to 4 progeny with genotypes XXᵇ, XᵇXᵇ, XY and XᵇY. It means they both may have 2 sons out of which one with genotype XᵇY will be diseased while the one with genotype XY will be healthy. So the proportion of their sons having G6PD is 1/2 or 50%.

(b) If the husband were G6PD deficient, the answer will not change.

The reason behind this is that this disease is caused by an allele located in X chromosome. But father contributes only Y chromosome to his son not X chromosome. The X chromosome will affect the genotype of his daughter not son that is why answer will not change. It means they will still have 1/2 of their sons diseased.
