ad-work [718]

In most situations, the fittest insects most likely to survive as compared to least fit insects because of the healthy body of that organism.

<h3>What is fitness?</h3>

Fitness can be defined as the ability to perform daily activities with endurance, and strength and resistance to disease, fatigue, and stress.

So we can conclude that the fittest insects most likely to survive as compared to least fit insects because of the healthy body of that organism.

Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency (G6PD) is inherited as an X-linked recessive allele in humans. A woman whose father
prohojiy [21]

Answer:

(a) 1/2; (b) no

Explanation:

Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency (G6PD) is an X-linked recessive disorder and the woman's father was diseased so it means that woman is a carrier of the allele but has normal phenotype. It means that she will have XXᵇ genotype.

In contrast to this, her husband is diseased so his genotype will be XᵇY.

The Punnett square diagram related to the cross is attached.

(a) Proportion of their sons expected to be G6PD is 1/2:

They both may give birth to 4 progeny with genotypes XXᵇ, XᵇXᵇ, XY and XᵇY. It means they both may have 2 sons out of which one with genotype XᵇY will be diseased while the one with genotype XY will be healthy. So the proportion of their sons having G6PD is 1/2 or 50%.

(b) If the husband were G6PD deficient, the answer will not change.

The reason behind this is that this disease is caused by an allele located in X chromosome. But father contributes only Y chromosome to his son not X chromosome. The X chromosome will affect the genotype of his daughter not son that is why answer will not change. It means they will still have 1/2 of their sons diseased.

Which genetic variation is shown below?
Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

This Punnett square shows<u> incomplete dominance.</u>

Explanation:

The homozygous red flower has two dominant red alleles, and these are represented by the letters RR. The homozygous white flower is represented by rr. Their offspring are all heterozygous Rr, and they have pink flowers. This is the first filial generation, or F1. When the F1 generation cross-pollinates, their offspring will be RR, Rr, and rr in a 1:2:1 ratio. Some of their offspring (the F2 generation) will inherit two R alleles, some will inherit two r alleles, and some will inherit both.

Hope this help

Jonas Salk was awarded the Nobel Prize for discovering a way to vaccinate against
Bogdan [553]

Answer:

Jonas Salk was awarded the Nobel Prize for discovering a way to vaccinate against  polio in the United States in the 1950's. This allowed millions of school-age children to  avoid crippling disease, and to swim during summer again, as polio was often spread in public swimming areas before.

The statement that best describes how the polio vaccine works is:

It triggers the immune system to produce antobodies to fight the disease-causing agent.

Explanation:

There are two main reasons for this answer. The first one is that every vaccine is aimed to introduce a controlled amount of antigenes to be accepted by the organism. These antigens are made after some studies were conducted in a lab and were obtained from substances that the human body can accept to train the immune system to develop an effective defense for the virus or bacteria on the matter. In our case, the polio vaccine works the same way and allowed to save many lives.
