Answer:

A. Grandmother.  

B. 0

Explanation:

A. If there is no history of the disease in the family, there were only female unaffected genetic carriers. Duchenne muscular dystrophy is a recessive disease linked to the X chromosome, all man with the mutation will display the disease, since they have only one X chromosome (XY). Women have XX, so, if they inherit an abnormal dystrophin gene, but they have a normal allele on the other X chromosome, they won´t develop the muscular dystrophy.  

B. The problem does not state that the woman is a carrier, so, the probability of having a child affected is zero. The disease is linked to the X chromosome, so, sons will not be affected, and daughters would have a copy of the mutated gene, but will not display the symptoms.

Which statement BEST describes why mycelium, constructed of hyphae, are necessary for fungi survival?
mariarad [96]

Answer:

Hyphae absorb nutrients from the environment and transport them to other parts of the thallus.

Explanation:

The large volumes of hyphae within the mycelium perform a fundamental role by obtaining nutrients from the organic substrates from the surrounding of the fungus. Hyphae play different kinds of functions in fungi.

They contain cytoplasm or cell sap. They also contain the nuclei, which include genetic material. Hyphae absorb nutrients from the environment and transport them to other parts of the thallus.

The thallus is the fungus body in which the fungi live or from beneath the soil to give support to the fungi for its growth and its survival.

How does the digestive system interact with the rest of the body
Ainat [17]

Answer:

The Digestive System gets nutrients (good) from food and hands it over to the blood and Circulatory System then carries those nutrients where they need to go. It Filters out waste from food and pushes it through intestines and out the body.

Explanation:

As food passes through the GI tract, it mixes with digestive juices, causing large molecules of food to break down into smaller molecules. The body then absorbs these smaller molecules through the walls of the small intestine into the bloodstream, which delivers them to the rest of the body.
