No, the parents don't have a disorder, but they carry recessive allele.

Individuals with the disorder are recessive homozygous (dd). It is known that recessive allele produces its phenotype only when it is paired with another recessive allele. Thus, to have offspring with disorder (with genotype dd), parents must be heterozygous, or one parent is recessive homozygous, and the other one is heterozygous. 

Now, let's imagine both situations:

Parents:            Dd           x              dd
Offspring:       Dd       Dd         dd           dd

In this cross, there is no possibility to have children with genotype DD.

Parents:            Dd           x              Dd
<span>Offspring:       DD       Dd         Dd           dd
</span>
In this cross all three genotypes DD, Dd, or dd could be inherited.

It can be concluded that three children with <span>the genotypes DD, Dd, and dd, the parents must be heterozygous which do not have the disorder.</span>

How can scientists determine the absolute age of a rock sample?
Roman55 [17]
Absolute Dating. The nuclear decay of radioactive isotopes is a process that behaves in a clock-like fashion and is thus a useful took for determining the absolute age of rocks. Radioactive decay is the process by which a "parent" isotope changes into a "Daughter" isotope.

14.The point is, without the respiratory system your blood would be useless. The circulatory and respiratory systems work together to circulate blood and oxygen throughout the body. Air moves in and out of the lungs through the trachea, bronchi, and bronchioles.

15.The skeletal system provides the framework for the body. While the muscular system consists of the soft tissue that lies over and supports the skeleton.

16.A biome is a community of plants and animals that have common characteristics for the environment they exist in.

18.Climate is the most important abiotic factor affecting the distribution of terrestrial biomes. Climate includes temperature and precipitation, and it determines growing season and soil quality.

19.Climate is the weather of a place averaged over a period of time, often 30 years. Weather is the day-to-day state of the atmosphere, and its short-term variation in minutes to weeks.

Explain the 6 steps of how Darwin theorized how the finches formed new species:
Scilla [17]
Overproduction
Most species produce more offspring than can survive.

Competition
Since living space and food are limited, organisms must compete for the necessities.

Variation
Differences between individuals in a population.

Adaptations
Any kind of inherited trait that improves an organism's chances of survival.

Natural selection
The environment selects organisms with optimal traits to be the parents of the next generation.

Speciation
Over many generations, favorable adaptations accumulate and may result in a new species.

900J

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Specific heat of the aluminium = 900Jkg⁻¹K⁻¹

Mass of aluminium = 0.5kg

temperature change = 2K

Unknown:

Quantity of heat = ?

Solution:

The quantity of heat a body absorbs to cause a change in temperature is given as:

  H  = mcΘ

H is the quantity of heat

m is the mass of the substance

c is the specific heat capacity

Θ is the temperature change

 

   H = 0.5 x 2 x 900 = 900J
