Answer:

- If individual III-1 marries an unaffected, non-carrier female, none of their children will have DMD

Explanation:

From the options, the only correct statements is that If individual III-1 marries an unaffected, non-carrier female, none of their children will have DMD

DMD is an X-linked recessive trait, meaning that a male individual is either affected or unaffected (can never be a carrier). III-1 is unaffected and if he marries an unaffected, non-carrier female, it means that none of their children will have DMD.

All the children of II-4 and II-5 will always come out with DMD because both parents are affected.

Individuals I-1 and II-1 are males. A male can never be a carrier in for X-linked traits. He is either affected or unaffected and as shown by the pedigree, both males are unaffected (unshaded).

What is the answer to this question?"explain two difficulties an ecologist might have in counting a population of migratory bird

dimulka [17.4K]

It may be difficult for ecologists to determine the size of a bird population if that population migrates to different locations throughout the year. During migration, some birds may split off from the group and not return, others may die, and still others may join. Therefore, the bird population will be in constant flux. It is hard to know, when the birds return to their prior location, if the population consists of the same group of birds (in addition to deaths and births) or whether it has grown or shrank through other means. However, to estimate the size, an ecologist can track a migratory flock through several years, counting each year to get a general sense of the population size. Additionally, given one measurement, an ecologist could consider the average lifespan and birth rates of the population to extrapolate the size of the population in subsequent years.
