Answer: In addition to having a 50% chance of inheriting autosomal dominant disorders from an affected parent, such a disorder is characterized by equal frequency of occurrence in both sexes (male and female).
Explanation: Autosomal dominant disorder has the following characteristics;
1. Appears in both sexes with equal frequency.
2. Does not skip generations.
3. Affected offsprings must have an affected parent unless they possess a new mutation.
4. Unaffected parents do not transmit the disorder.
5. When one parent is affected (heterozygous) and the other parent is unaffected, approximately 50% of the offsprings will be affected.
Answer:
Louis Pasteur, by observing that the microbes were in the air and contaminated the broth helped determine that all the cells came from pre-existing cells (option b), one of the postulates of the cell theory.
Explanation:
Louis Pasteur's experiments, conducted around 1860, showed that unicellular organisms appeared in a culture broth only if it was exposed to the air, where other microorganisms were present, thus disproving the hypothesis of spontaneous generation.
On the other hand, in the broth that was not exposed to the air Pasteur did not observe microorganisms.
By rejecting the hypothesis of spontaneous generation through his experiment, Louis Pasteur reaffirmed the postulate of the cell theory that proposes that all cells come from preexisting cells.
The other options are not correct due to:
<em> a and c. </em><em><u>All animals are made of cells
</u></em><em> and </em><em><u>cell is the basic functional unit of living things</u></em><em> are postulates of the cellular theory that were not demonstrated by Pasteur's experiment.</em>
<em> d. </em><em><u>Unicellular organisms inherit an exact copy of DNA from the parent cell</u></em><em> is not a postulate of cell theory.</em>
Key physical features. All three species share similar physical characteristics - a relatively small body and a 'robust' or strongly built skull including large lower jaws with extremely large molar teeth.
Answer: The brain is the vital organ in humans and each part of brain exhibit a distinct function.
Explanation:
The frontal part of the brain is responsible for controlling the cognitive skills, movement of the body, emotions, memory, judgement, sexual activity, linguistic skills, and others. It controls the behavior. It is the overall control panel of the human body. If the frontal lobe is damaged then this can negatively affect the human personality. The person suffers from difficulty in concentrating as well as planning.
