A key characteristic of aquatic dead zones is ________. A key characteristic of aquatic dead zones is ________. a high concentra
tion of urban development a low concentration of oxygen low concentrations of nitrogen and phosphorus a lack of water a low concentration of keystone species
The correct answer is "low concentration of oxygen".
Explanation:
One of the key characteristic of aquatic dead zones is its low concentration of oxygen. Aquatic dead zones are classified into this category for being hypoxic, condition that do not support the growth of most marine life. Most aquatic dead zones are in these conditions because of a high content of nutrient pollution caused by human activities.
Let the dominant allele for the disease be 'T' and recessive allele be 't'.
The couple with normal phenotype produces an infant with the Tay Sach's disease.
As the disease is autosomal recessive in nature, it will get expressed in a homozygous recessive condition, that is, when the genotype is : tt.
As the normal parents are producing a diseased offspring, the both parents must be heterozygous dominant (Tt) for the disease allele.
The brother of the husband and the sister of the wife, both having a normal phenotype, can have the following genotypes, TT or Tt.
If either of the individual (brother or sister) has TT genotype and the other has other has either TT or Tt genotype, there is zero probability that they will produce an offspring with the disease.
T T and T T
T TT TT T TT TT
(N) (N) (N) (N)
T TT TT t Tt Tt
(N) (N) (N) (N)
If both the individuals have a Tt genotype, the probability to produce diseased offspring is one-fourth or 25%.
T t

(N) (D)
(N) stands for normal and (D) stands for diseased phenotype.
