Answer:
Independent variable: ALTITUDE
dependent variable: GROWTH OF PLANTS
Confounding variable: STOREYS OF THE BUILDING
Explanation:
In an experiment, the basic components i.e primary variables that an experiment should contain, are the independent and dependent variables.
- The independent variable is the variable that is changed or manipulated in an experiment. In this experiment, the ALTITUDE of the plant is the independent variable.
- The dependent variable is the variable that responds to changes to the independent variable. It is the variable measured in an experiment. In this case, the dependent variable is the GROWTH OF THE PLANTS.
- The confounding variable is a variable that has an extra influence on the outcome of the experiment. In other words, the confounding variable has an impact on the dependent variable. In this case, the confounding variable is the STOREYS OF THE BUILDING.
Mitosis is a type of cell division that results in two daughter cells each having the same number and kind of chromosomes as the parent nucleus, typical of ordinary tissue growth. Mitosis is important because the organism must:
1. replace cells that have worn out or died
2. repair tissue that is damaged
3. add cells in order to grow
4. make new kinds of cells in order to develop
Due to divergent evolution, some species may have similar anatomical structures with the same purposes. The species while not exactly similar are close enough to allow the interbreeding of the two, such as the horse and mule
Answer:
1/8 (12.5%)
Explanation:
An autosomal recessive disease is an inherited disease in which an individual need to receive both defective alleles at the same gene <em>locus</em> to be expressed in the phenotype. In this case, both parents are carriers of the recessive mutant allele associated with the sickle cell anaemia trait, thereby both parents are heterozygous, ie., each parent has one copy of the normal allele 'H' and one copy of the defective mutant allele 'h' associated with this condition. In consequence, their first child has a 1/4 (25%) chance of having sickle-cell anaemia. Moreover, the chance of having a girl is 1/2 and the chance of having a boy is 1/2, thereby the final chance of having a girl sickle cell anaemia individual is 1/4 x 1/2 = 1/8 (12.5%).
- Parental cross for sickle cell anaemia trait = Hh x Hh >>
- F1 = 1/4 HH (normal); 1/2 Hh (normal); 1/4 hh (sickle cell anaemia) >>
- Sex proportion of sickle cell anaemia individuals = 1/8 female sickle cell anaemia individuals + 1/8 male sickle cell anaemia individuals (1/8 + 1/8 = 1/4)
