it was classified as a law because there is scientific proof that this is true. it proves true every time.

A scientific theory refers to an in depth explanation of a specific observed phenomenon while a scientific law refers to a statement about a particular observed phenomenon. Scientific laws are usually presented in form of mathematical expressions for the observed phenomenon; examples of these are Newton's law of gravity, Mendel's law of independent assortment, etc. Scientific law basically describes the observations that are made and these observations are usually similar to other related observations.

A man with cystic fibrosis of the pancreas wishes to marry a young woman whose family has never had an individual born with the

mixas84 [53]

Cystic fibrosis is a recessive condition; meaning if a dominant condition takes over it will not be seen in the offspring. The man genotype with cystic fibrosis can only be this: cc (when c is equal to the cystic fibrosis and C is equal to not having one). The woman with no history of cystic fibrosis can possibly have either of these two genotypes: Cc or CC.

To see their offspring’s possible genotype, we’ll use a punnett square let’s start with Cc:

C c

c Cc cc

c Cc cc There is a 50 % chance of the child having cystic fibrosis.

To see their offsprings possible genotype with CC:

C C

c Cc Cc

c Cc Cc There is no chance that the child will have cystic fibrosis.

Which component forms the superior part of the hip bone?

Kobotan [32]

There are choices for this question namely:

<span>a. ilium
b. pubis
c. ischium
d. sacrum
</span>
The correct answer is the "ilium". The pelvis is composed of 3 bones that fuse to make the pelvic girdle (with the sacrum). These bones are the ilium, ischium, and the pubis. The ilium forms the superior border of the pelvis, the ischium is the inferior, the pubis is the anterior, and the sacrum is the posterior. Attached is an image of the pelvic girdle, not that the ilium is at the superior portion of the pelvis.
