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.

Answer:

Patrick's hypothesis was "If fish eat microwaved food, then they will swim faster through the maze."

The fish that are in the control group are the fish without microwaved food.

The independent variable is the microwaved food.

The dependent variable was the time it took for the fish to swim through the maze.

Patrick's conclusion should be that the special food did not seem to make a large difference in helping the fish become faster, since 8 out of 10 fish were faster in both special food and regular food groups.

Eric and dawn are discussing drug distribution in the body. eric says that a drug travels from the absorption site to the bloods
Nuetrik [128]
Dawn is correct. 

When drugs are absorbed, it goes into the blood stream plasma. From there it will first go into the interstitial fluid. It will accumulate in the interstitial fluid and cross the membrane of the cell, then to the tissues, and lastly the organs.

Mitosis, the process of cell division, is most important for an organism's what?
iris [78.8K]
<span>Cell division serves as a means of reproduction in unicellular organisms through binary fission. In multicellular organisms, cell division aids in the formation of gametes, which are cells that combine with others to form sexually produced offspring. For growth to occur in living organisms, the number of cells have to increase through cell division until it reaches its maximum size. 

The human body also repairs injuries by means of cell division. When skin is cut, the skin cells on either side of the cut divide to make new cells that heal the wound.</span>
