Answer: Solubility in lipids

Explanation:

All the volatile anaesthetic agents has dose dependent respiratory depression VT and MV which may be compensated by increased respiratory rate.

The respiratory depression is more common in case of older people as they cannot compensate for the volume of air.

The solubility of the anesthesia in the lipids can be a risk which can put 85 year old women into respiratory depression.

A woman with normal blood clotting ability whose father was a hemophiliac and whose mother was normal with no family history of
Alborosie

Answer:

The answer is 25%.

Explanation:

Hemophilia is a recessive illness that is x-linked.

If the husband has normal clotting ability, that means he has the dominant gene since he has only one X chromosome.

Since there is a probability that their child will have hemophilia, this means that the woman, who has 2 X chromosomes but has normal blood clotting abilities, has one dominant and one recessive hemophilia gene.

The probability that their first child will be a male is 50% and the probability that he will have hemophilia is also 50% since he will only get the Y chromosome from the father and the mother has one dominant and one recessive.

So the probability that their first child will be a son with hemophilia is 25%.
