Trematodes are parasitic flatworms commonly known as flukes. These flattened oval or worm-shaped creatures feed off their hosts' blood using muscular, pumping mouths — as they have no anuses, their bodily wastes blurt out from their mouths as well.

What factors are contributing to the oceans changing ph ?

ddd [48]

Because of human-driven increased levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, there is more CO2 dissolving into the ocean. The ocean's average pH is now around 8.1 , which is basic (or alkaline), but as the ocean continues to absorb more CO2, the pH decreases and the ocean becomes more acidic.

Why would it be wise for a woman carrying the hemophilia gene to keep her son from being circumcised?

xenn [34]

Answer:

Because the probability of hemophilia would be 1:4

Explanation:

Hemophilia is a disease that comes with a sex chromosome (pair 46).

It is a recessive allele associated with chromosome X, women have two X chromosomes they can carry it, but they don't have it because they have another dominand allele non-hemophilic.

If you draw a Punnet square with a non-hemophilic father and a carrying mother, you'll found you have 1:4 chances of having a baby boy with hemophilia.

Carrying mother = X(H)X(h)

Father = X(H) Y
