lozanna [386]3 years ago
5 0

The inheritance of colorblindness gene is X linked. Sally is a female, she'll have two copies of X chromosomes. Since she is not colorblind indicates that she is a carrier of the gene, the presence of at least one functional gene on either of the X chromosome in Sally prevented colorblindness in her. The chances that her husband will have a colorblind child is 25% (1:3) and 50% for the colorblind son (1:1),based on the solved punnett square in the image, where X' denotes the colorblindness gene.

vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

Opposition

Explanation:

Opposition is the type of movement that is only for the hands. Opposition is them movement where you bring your finger/s in contact with your thumb. When you put it back to its anatomical position, which is beside the index finger (pointing finger) this is called <em>reposition.</em>

Retraction occurs in the scapula (Shoulder blades) and mandible (jaw). Dorsiflexion you see that happen in your foot. When you bring your toes closer to the shin. Supination is more on the forearm and foot, where you rotate it so your palms are facing forward (sole facing the other ankle for feet). Flexion is the movement of body parts where you bring them closer to each other at a joint (the angle between the two parts are lessened). Like when you bend your elbows to "flex" muscles.

How does diploidy help to preserve genetic variation? see concept 23.4 (page 498)?
mario62 [17]
Monoploid organisms reproduce asexually since they need to transmit all of their genetic material to their offspring. Diploid organisms, have 2 copies of their genetic material that differ slightly in their genes. Since the progeny gets half of the DNA from each parent, we have that new combinations can emerge; for example, if the mother is AA for some allele and the father aa, their offspring will be Aa, a new genotype. This might have different implications (for example, the recessive gene for thalassemia also provides resistance to malaria). Finally, during meiosis, there is also an event called crossover that increases the genetic variation of the offspring.

Explain why cold-blooded organisms like reptiles have a higher rate of secondary productivity than warm-blooded mammals.
PIT_PIT [208]
Warm-blooded creatures, like mammals and birds, try to keep the inside of their bodies at a constant temperature. They do this by generating their own heat when they are in a cooler environment, and by cooling themselves when they are in a hotter environment. To generate heat, warm-blooded animals convert the food that they eat into energy. They have to eat a lot of food, compared with cold-blooded animals, to maintain a constant body temperature. Only a small amount of the food that a warm-blooded animal eats is converted into body mass. The rest is used to fuel a constant body temperature.

How does the immune system function?
professor190 [17]

Answer:

Immune system of the body helps in fighting with the infectious agents that are foreign for the body. So the immune system protects us from infection.

When any foreign substance(antigen) comes in the body B-lymphocyte recognize it by binding the antigen through its receptor. After recognizing the antigen, B cell divides into antibody-producing plasma cell and memory cell.

Antibodies produced by plasma cells help in destroying the antigen by getting the antigen recognized by phagocytic cells or by complement activation.

B cells are antigen-presenting cell which present antigen to T cell and then T cell activates and produce chemicals that kill the antigen. Therefore the immune system has many immune cells that activate when an antigen comes in the body. This is how the immune system functions.
