Answer:

Hotspots from under the ground

Explanation:

There are three different situations where an volcano can form. A divergent boundary, where two tectonic plates move away from each other, subduction boundary, where one of the tectonic plates moves under the other, and a hotspot. Scientists are not completely sure how hotspots form.

The eukaryote that has a similar mode of nutrition to that of the white blood cells is AMOEBA.
Amoeba feed on microscopic organisms. When amoeba encounter a food particle, it extends its pseudopodia around the food particle and ingest it. The food particle which is now in the food vacuole of amoeba is broken down and digested by mean of digesting enzymes secreted by the organism.

Each of the four pedigrees that follow represents a human family within which a genetic disease is segregating. Affected individ

Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

The following four traits are -:

Pedigree 1 - A recessive trait (autosomal recessive) is expressed by pedigree 1.
Pedigree 2- Recessive inheritance is defined by Pedigree 2.
Pedigree 3 - The inheritance of the dominant trait (autosomal dominant) is illustrated by Pedigree 3.
Pedigree 4- An X-like dominant trait is expressed by Pedigree 4.

Explanation:

Explaination of each pedigree chart-

Pedigree 1 demonstrates the recessive trait since their children have been affected by two unaffected individuals. If the characteristics were X-linked, in order to have an affected daughter, I-1 would have to be affected. $X^A$ In this, both parents are autosomal recessive trait carriers, so the child will be affected by a 1/4 (aa)
Recessive inheritance is defined by Pedigree 2. This is X-related inheritance as autosomal recessive inheritance has already been accounted for in part 1. This inference is confirmed by evidence showing that the father (I-1) is unaffected and that only the sons exhibit the characteristic in generation II, suggesting that the mother must be the carrier. The individual I-2 is a carrier for this X-linked trait. A typical Xa chromosome is attached to the unaffected father (I-1), so the chance of carrier II-5 is 1/2. Probability of an affected son = 1/2 (probability II-5 is a carrier) x 1/2 (probability II -5 contributes ( $X^A$ ) x 1/2 (probability of Y from father II-6) = 1/8. An affected daughter's likelihood is 0 because a typical $X^A$ must be contributed by II-6.
The inheritance of the dominant trait is demonstrated by Pedigree 3 because affected children still have affected parents (remember that all four diseases are rare). The trait must be autosomal dominant because it is passed down to the son by the affected father. There is a 1/2 risk that the heterozygous mother (II-5) would pass on mutant alleles to a child of either sex for an autosomal dominant feature.
Pedigree 4 is an X-linked dominant function characterized by the transmission to all of his daughters from the affected father but none of his son. On the mutant X chromosome, the father (I-1) passes on to all his daughters and none of his sons. As seen by his normal phenotype, II-6 therefore does not bear the mutation. An affected child's likelihood is 0.

In the question the pedigree chart was missing ,hence it is given below.
