The unaffected carrier individual, is the one who has only mutated gene of the autosomal recessive disease.

The right answer is B and C individuals


The genes responsible for autosomal recessive (AR) transmitted diseases are localized on autosomes.

The mutated allele responsible for the disease is recessive on the wild allele; heterozygotes are healthy and the disease is expressed only in homozygotes.


Tay-Sachs disease is a neurodegenerative disease caused by a deficiency of hexosaminidase causing an accumulation of ganglioside GM2.

Inheritance patterns cannot always be explained by Mendel’s models of inheritance. If a pair of homologous chromosomes fails to
Talja [164]

The correct answer is: a. n+1, n+1, n-1, n-1

Nondisjunction is the failure of homologous chromosomes or sister chromatids to separate properly during mitosis  or meiosis. There are three forms of nondisjunction:  

1. failure of a pair of homologous chromosomes to separate in meiosis I ,  

2. failure of sister chromatids to separate during meiosis II, and  

3. failure of sister chromatids to separate during mitosis.

As a consequence of nondisjunction abnormal chromosome numbers appears. If nondisjunction occurs during the meiosis I (anaphase I), this means that at least one pair of homologous chromosomes did not separate. The consequence is two cells that have an extra copy of one chromosome and two cells that lack that chromosome.

Which of the following correctly describes the disruption of an ecosystem service by an anthropogenic activity?
ehidna [41]

Answer:

The correct answer is "Provisioning services are disrupted by increased combustion of fossil fuels, which leads to an increase in air pollution".

Explanation:

The ecosystem provides several services that if used with responsibility, could be sustained by the nature. Unfortunately, disruption of an ecosystem service could happen by an anthropogenic activity, which are the activities that humans perform. One example is the disruption of provisioning services by increased combustion of fossil fuels, which leads to an increase in air pollution. The ecosystem provides clean air that gives oxygen for people and animals to breath, however high combustion of fossil fuels could disrupt this service.
