Why is global warning considered a controversial issue?

1 answer:

7 0

answer: The global warming controversy concerns the public debate over whether global warming is occurring, how much has occurred in modern times, what has caused it, what its effects will be, whether any action can or should be taken to curb it, and if so what that action should be. In the scientific literature, there is a strong consensus that global surface temperatures have increased in recent decades and that the trend is caused by human-induced emissions of greenhouse gases.[1][2][3][4][5][6] No scientific body of national or international standing disagrees with this view,[7] though a few organizations with members in extractive industries hold non-committal positions,[8] and some have attempted to convince the public that climate change is not happening, or if the climate is changing it is not because of human influence,[9] attempting to sow doubt in the scientific consensus.

A woman with an x-linked dominant disorder mates with a phenotypically normal male. on average, what percentage of this couple's

alex41 [277]

E. 0%

X-linked dominant disorders are not very common in females because it has to be on BOTH of their alleles in order to occur phenotypically.

Because you get one chromosome from your mom and another one from your dad, it would be impossible for the daughter to get the disorder because the dad doesn’t have it on his X chromosome to pass on to her.

In the case of the daughter, the focus is whether or not the dad has the disorder, the mom isn’t as relevant. However, if you were talking about a son, it would be a different story.

Hope this helps :)
