Answer:

a. 50%

Explanation:

<em>BRCA1 genes is a tumor supressor gene whose harmful mutation can cause hereditary breast ovarian cancer syndrome in both males and females. The BRCA actually stands for breast cancer.</em>

<em>Mutation in BRCA1 gene is heritable and every progeny of a carrier parent irrespective of the sex has a 50% chance of inheriting the trait from such parent, be it from the mother or the father.</em>

Hence, the correct option is a.

Drag each tile to the correct box.<br> Arrange the layers and faults from oldest to youngest.
kaheart [24]

The answers would be:

Layer D

Layer C

Layer B

Layer A

Layer E

Fault F

If you'd like to know why, here's more about the question:

The law of superpo sition states that the lower the layer, the older the rock is.

Looking at the layers alone, we can say that D is the oldest, and C would be next, so on and so forth.

The law of cross - cutt ing relationships, on the other hand, states that a geologic event, like a fault, is younger than the layer that it goes through.

So if we look at the figure given, the fault goes through all the layers, so we can say that it is younger than all the layers.

Manatees, aquatic mammals inhabiting Florida’s rivers and coastal waters, swim close to the surface and are frequently killed in
wlad13 [49]

Answer:

The answer is B.

Explanation:

In the situation given in the question, it is stated that manatees can not hear low-pitched sounds of the slow boats and therefore this could cause more collisions and deaths.

The answer that can cast doubt on the conclusion, if true, is that the hyacinth that the manatees feed on grows best in water that is still, so it would make sense for the boats the slow down even though the risk of a collision with a manatee increases.

I hope this answer helps.
