Answer:

There is a 50% chance of getting Huntingdon's disease.

Explanation:

Assume the affected parent is Hh, where H is the Huntingdon's disease allele and h is the unaffected allele. One parent is unaffected, or hh. You have a 50% chance of getting the H allele from the affected parent.

If I had the choice to get tested, for Huntingdon's disease, I would do it.  I would want to know so that I wouldn't  live my life worrying about it everyday.

4) To bring amino acids to the ribosomes to help build a protein

5) A chain of amino acids held together by peptide bonds

6) Ribosomes

7) Because those are the bases that are complementary in DNA so they must be equal

8) It could lead to a mutation as it would cause the mRNA to code for a different amino acid and thus a different protein will be made

9) DNA is the blueprint for mRNA which will travel to the ribosomes and code for specific amino acids which will eventually build a protein

Y_Kistochka [10]

An electron microscope is a microscope that uses beams of electrons instead of rays of visible light to form highly magnified images of tiny areas materials or biological specimens. Comparing light vs electron microscopes is made more complicated by the fact that there are different types of electron microscopes. Do not need to compound it in the form of essay? I know where exactly you can go to get the help with it. PrimeWritings site would be the best choice.

Step2247 [10]
We reject the options a) and b) since the question says that the data supports "equally" both cases - so we have no basis for making a choice either way.

Further, in science the decisions are reached based on facts, not voting, so we also reject the answer D .

We are left with the answer C and this is also the best practice in science - when unsure, leave it as a hypothesis.

What are the similarities between interspecific and intraspecific competitions?
Lerok [7]

Answer: If you break the two terms down, "intraspecific" just means within a species, while "interspecific" means between them. Consequently, interspecific competition is all about competition between two or more species, while intraspecific competition involves different individuals of the same species.
