An understanding of anatomy is key to the practice of health and medicine
Answer:
(a) 1/2; (b) no
Explanation:
Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency (G6PD) is an X-linked recessive disorder and the woman's father was diseased so it means that woman is a carrier of the allele but has normal phenotype. It means that she will have XXᵇ genotype.
In contrast to this, her husband is diseased so his genotype will be XᵇY.
The Punnett square diagram related to the cross is attached.
(a) Proportion of their sons expected to be G6PD is 1/2:
They both may give birth to 4 progeny with genotypes XXᵇ, XᵇXᵇ, XY and XᵇY. It means they both may have 2 sons out of which one with genotype XᵇY will be diseased while the one with genotype XY will be healthy. So the proportion of their sons having G6PD is 1/2 or 50%.
(b) If the husband were G6PD deficient, the answer will not change.
The reason behind this is that this disease is caused by an allele located in X chromosome. But father contributes only Y chromosome to his son not X chromosome. The X chromosome will affect the genotype of his daughter not son that is why answer will not change. It means they will still have 1/2 of their sons diseased.
Answer:
strength: it provides raw material for plants and major component of food.
weaknesses: it increases earth's temperature and change the habitat.
Explanation:
The diagram shows the carbon cycle which is important cycle present on the earth. This carbon is present in carbondioxide form which is used as a raw material by plants in order to make their own food. This carbon is also present in different organic compounds. When its concentration increases in the atmosphere, the temperature of the atmosphere increases and many areas are not suitable to live for many plants and animals.
