Answer:
Muscular Dystrophy : 50%
Breast cancer: 50%
Explanation:
Muscular Dystrophy (linked to X):
1/2 (mother) x 2/2 (father) = 2/4 (50%) chance of having an affected child with MD
Breast cancer (autosomal dominant disorder):
1/2 (mother) + 0 (father) = 1/2 = 50% chance of having an affected child with breast cancer
Answer: High Specific Heat Of Water
Explanation:
Water’s high specific heat helps to maintain low temperature and protects fish life. This is due to the presence of hydrogen bonds in larger amount between water molecules. Of course, specific heat plays a role to capture more energy without rise in temperature.
When heat gets absorbed, water molecules move freely and hydrogen bond gets broken. If temperature decreases, release energy by forming hydrogen bond. Hence, it clearly shows that this water property can drastically change the temperature quickly which is important in protecting a fish in a shallow pond on a hot summer day.
