Which formation is the result of wind erosion?
Dovator [93]

Of the following given choices;

A. glacial erratics B. U-shaped valleys C. unusually shaped rocks D. mudslides.

The answer is; C.

The wind carries soil particles is it blows. These soil particle hit on rocks in their path and over time gradually erode the rocks. An example of this type of erosion is the aeolian process. Usually the bottom o the rock is eroded more than the top. This is because the bottom is hit by larger soil particles that are heavier to carry by the wind. An example of rock formed in this process is attached in the picture below.

Each of the four pedigrees that follow represents a human family within which a genetic disease is segregating. Affected individ
Ne4ueva [31]

 Answer:

<u> The following four traits are -: </u>

  • <u>Pedigree 1 -</u> A recessive trait (autosomal recessive)  is expressed by pedigree 1.
  • <u>Pedigree 2- Recessive inheritance is defined by Pedigree 2. </u>
  • <u>Pedigree 3</u> - The inheritance of the dominant trait (autosomal dominant) is illustrated by Pedigree 3.
  • <u>Pedigree 4-</u> An X-like dominant trait is expressed by Pedigree 4.    

Explanation:

<u>Explaination of each pedigree chart</u>-

  • Pedigree 1 demonstrates the <u>recessive trait </u>since their children have been affected by two unaffected individuals. If the characteristics were X-linked, in order to have an affected daughter, I-1 would have to be affected. X^A In this, both parents are autosomal recessive trait carriers, so the child will be affected by a 1/4 (aa)
  • <u> Recessive inheritance</u> is defined by <u>Pedigree 2</u>. This is<u> X-related inheritance as autosomal recessive</u> inheritance has already been accounted for in part 1. This inference is confirmed by evidence showing that the father (I-1) is unaffected and that only the sons exhibit the characteristic in generation II, suggesting that the mother must be the carrier. The individual I-2 is a carrier for this X-linked trait. A typical  Xa chromosome is attached to the unaffected father (I-1), so the chance of carrier II-5 is 1/2. Probability of an affected son = 1/2 (probability II-5 is a carrier) x 1/2 (probability II -5 contributes (X^A) x 1/2 (probability of Y from father II-6) = 1/8. An affected daughter's likelihood is 0 because a typical X^A must be contributed by II-6.
  • The inheritance of the<u> dominant trait</u> is demonstrated by <u>Pedigree 3 </u>because affected children still have affected parents (remember that all four diseases are rare). The trait must be <u>autosomal dominant</u> because it is passed down to the son by the affected father. There is a 1/2 risk that the heterozygous mother (II-5) would pass on mutant alleles to a child of either sex for an autosomal dominant feature.
  • <u>Pedigree 4</u> is an <u>X-linked dominant function</u> characterized by the transmission to all of his daughters from the affected father but none of his son. On the mutant X chromosome, the father (I-1) passes on to all his daughters and none of his sons. As seen by his normal phenotype, II-6 therefore does not bear the mutation. An affected child's likelihood is 0.    

In the question the pedigree chart was missing ,hence it is given below.

Due to a genetic modification, a mouse has no horizontal cells in its retinas. What impact will this have on the mouse’s vision?
Karolina [17]

Due to a genetic modification, a mouse has no horizontal cells in its retinas and it does not expresses the connexin26.

What is  horizontal cells?

The horizontal cells has receptive field with the neurobiotin and controlled by the electrical coupling.

Horizontal cells are the laterally interconnecting neurons having cell our bodies withinside the internal nuclear layer of the retina of vertebrate eyes. They assist combine and alter the enter from a couple of photoreceptor cells.

If two organisms show a developmental homology you would also definently expect them to?
san4es73 [151]

If two organisms show a developmental homology you would also definitely expect them to share genetic homologies.

Homology is the similarity between two organisms. This similarity can be of body structures, physiology, etc. This homology is generally due to shared ancestral history between two organisms. For example, the wings of a bird and bats are homologous structures, this is because they have a common anatomy.

Genetic homology refers to the arrival from the same gene from a common ancestor. The same gene is shared between two organisms who may not be related in any other matter. Genetic homology can even be depicted by the sequences of a protein.

The human gut microbiome is a collection of microbes that are necessary for proper function of the digestive system and that con
Fiesta28 [93]

Answer: Gut microbiome degrade the ingested milk sugars through a biochemical pathway, producing ATP required for the energy needs of infant.

Explanation:

The human breast milk fed on by infants  contains a high concentration of indigestible oligosaccharides which include lacto-N-tetraose and lacto-N-fucopentaose.

These milk sugars are utilized by microbes in the gut of infants, yielding lactate as the final product of metabolism and releasing several molecules of ATP as useful energy for use by the infant.

Thus, the presence of these gut microbes at birth, and the feeding of infant with breast milk is vital to fulfilling their energy needs
