The right answer is 1/4.

Two carriers of the disease each have a chance in two to transmit their sick gene ie: 1/2 * 1/2 = 1/4

A genetic disease is said to be autosomal recessive when

The gene involved is carried by an autosome (non-sex chromosome, X or Y in XY system of sexual determination);

The associated phenotype of this trait is recessive (the presence of two identical alleles is essential for the character to be expressed).

One of the two alleles is transmitted by the male gamete, the other by the female gamete.

But being a carrier of the mutation does not necessarily mean being sick, the manifestations of a genetic disease depend on its penetrance and the variability of its expression.

Based on the function of dna polymerase explain why each part of the name dna polymerase makes sense?
Sauron [17]

The enzyme known as DNA polymerase is responsible for creating DNA from nucleotide monomers. The enzyme's functions are indicated by its name, DNA polymerase. The term "DNA" refers to the fact that it generates DNA utilising nucleotides. "Polymer" signifies that the enzyme is converting monomeric nucleotides into a polymer molecule. Lastly, "ase" refers to an enzyme.

<h3>What role does DNA polymerase play ?</h3>

The primary role of DNA polymerases is to preserve the genome and guarantee that the genetic code is reliably transmitted from one generation to the next.

  • The essential enzyme for replication in eukaryotes is DNA polymerase. Additional DNA polymerases are used for primer removal, repair, and proofreading.

An easy way to calculate the amount of energy available at each level is to
Contact [7]

Answer:

Use the rule that 10% of the energy is transferred between layers.

Explanation:

Energy is transferred between layers of a food pyramid. That means that the  producers at the bottom of the pyramid (e.g. green plants) provide energy to the primary consumers (e.g. rabbits), which are eaten by and provide energy to the secondary consumers (e.g. foxes).

However, very little of the energy is actually transferred to the next layer, roughly 10%. So an easy way to calculate the energy available at each level is to calculate 10% of what was available from the previous level. So if there is 600 kJ available from the primary consumers, then 60 kJ are transferred to the secondary consumers

It is best to say that the protection to properties offered by sea walls along coasts _______.
Mashcka [7]

Answer: a.  decreases the present and future risk to human properties

Explanation:

Properties along the coasts can be in danger when high tides come in. This can however be mitigated by walls protecting those properties as it would take a significantly high tide (flood proportion) to scale those walls and come in and damage the property.

These walls therefore not only decrease the present risk to human properties but if maintained, decrease the future risks as well.
