Answer: Women are carriers for the disease hemophilia because hemophilia is an X-linked disease. The recessive allele for the disease is found on the X chromosome.

The sons of carrier women get hemophilia because males have one X chromosome and one Y chromosome. The sons of a carrier woman may inherit the affected X chromosome from their mother, and a Y chromosome from their father. They have only one X chromosome and one it's affected, will result in hemophilia.

Explanation: Women are carriers because in most cases, only one of their two X chromosomes are affected. The two female X chromosome is rarely affected.

Daughters of carrier women will not get the disease because they need two affected X chromosomes to manifest the disease. So even if they inherit one affected X chromosome from their mother, the second X chromosome they will inherit from their father will be normal. Therefore, daughters of carrier women can only be carriers.

What is the error in this experiment please ??

True [87]

An error is that the scientist did not control their variables. They had one group of people playing the game at 6, and another group playing at 12. This means that other things might have affected the scores other than what was being tested, which was caffeine.

. As arteries extend outward they decrease in thickness until they turn into microscopic vessels known as_ ((frog dissection))

sveticcg [70]

ANSWER: The correct answer is CAPILLARIES

EXPLANATION: Arteries are the muscular wall tube that carries oxygenated blood from the heart to other part of the body. The arteries extend outward from the heart, and form capillaries.

The capillaries are hairlike thinnest blood vessels, that helps to join the arteries and ventricles together. The blood in the arteries extends to the capillaries of the organs where the blood is supplied, and then moves out to from the organ via the ventricles.

The capillary starts from the part of the arteries that are very thin.
