The rift<span> is a narrow </span>zone<span> that is a developing divergent tectonic plate boundary, in which the </span>African<span> Plate is in the process of splitting into two tectonic plates, called the Somali Plate and the Nubian Plate, at a rate of 6–7 mm annually.</span>
If no genetic mutations will occur, then the Hardy-Weinberg principle would take place by establishing a relationship <span>between the frequencies of alleles and the genotype of a population. In addition, the theory was said to be devised by G. H. Hardy and Wilhelm Weinberg.</span>
Answer:
The correct answer is - option C.
Explanation:
CFTR is a short form of cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator protein which is caused by a recessive mutation in this protein. This mutation results in the accumulation of mucus in secretory organs.
As the disease is a recessive disease, for the mutant phenotype to expressed both copies of the allele required to be recessive.
The mother is negative for the CFTR. Hence, she will not transfer the mutant allele to her child So, the child would have a wild-type phenotype even if the father having two copies of recessive allele.
Thus, the correct answer is - option C.
Answer:
The question "What color is a great horned owl?" does not require the scientific method to be used for getting an answer hence, it is not a scientific question. This question does not require any hypothesis or any other method. It can easily be answered by just looking at the horned owl.
A scientific question has to be a question from which a hypothesis can be made. The hypothesis can be tested through experiments and observations. Results and conclusions from the experiments would result in answering that question.
