Answer: Hello your question some missing data attached below is the complete question

answer:

P( first child having PKU )  0.25 ≤ x ≤ 0.5

Explanation:

The pedigree father has PKU ( pp ) ( From the top right )

pedigree mother = PP

The possible resultant progeny = Pp  

Resultant progeny marries non-carrier  ( Pp x PP ) = PP , PP, pP, pP

Hence B is either  ; PP ( non carrier ) or Pp ( carrier )

<em>From left</em>

one of the Resultant progeny = pp ( affected ). this simply means pedigree parents where both carriers or sufferers i.e. Pp or pp

Hence A is either ; Pp or pp

The probability of their first child having PKU

= PP x Pp = PP, Pp, PP, Pp ( probability = 0 in this case )

= Pp x Pp = PP, Pp, pP, pp ( probability = 1/4 * 100 = 25% )

= Pp x pp = Pp, Pp, pp, pp ( probability = 2/4 * 100 = 50% )

P( first child having PKU )  0.25 ≤ x ≤ 0.5

lets denote dominant Gene = PP,  recessive Gene = pp

Diseases carried from person to person through other hosts, such as animals or insects, are known as __________ diseases.
Basile [38]

The right option is D. vector-borne

Diseases carried from person to person through other hosts, such as animals or insects, are known as vector- borne diseases.

Vector-borne diseases are infectious diseases transmitted between humans or from animals to humans through the bite of infected hosts such as animals or insects. Most of these hosts are arthropod vectors which are bloodsucking insects such as mosquitoes, ticks, triatomine bugs, sandflies, and blackflies. Examples of vector-borne diseases include West Nile fever which is transmitted through the bite of an infected Culex mosquito, Leishmaniasis which is transmitted through the bite of an infected female sandfly and Tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) which is transmitted by ticks.

The light micrograph shows dividing cells near the tip of an onion root. Identify a cell in each of the following stages: propha
ad-work [718]

Mitotic division in onion root cells:

  1. Prophase: the emergence of chromatin threads that form chromosomes, the chromosomes are visible and overlap.
  2. Metaphase: chromosomes line up and line up in the middle of the equatorial plane. The centromere of the chromosome appears to have bonds with the kinetochores connected to the spindle threads.
  3. Anaphase: the centromere of the chromosome undergoes division then the chromosomes are pulled by the spindle threads towards the two opposite poles and leave the center of the equator that looks empty.
  4. Telophase: The cytoplasm divides into two identical-looking daughter cells. At the telophase stage, the process of cell division occurs in two parts and has identical properties.

Mitosis is a cell division through the stages of prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase. The purpose of mitosis is for growth and regeneration which results in two daughter cells that are identical to the original parent cell. Mitosis occurs only once and lasts only during somatization.
