Answer:
write the procedure in the passive voice (reporting fashion )
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.
The options attached to the above question are given below:
A) The boys at first were very polite about my medals and asked me what I had done to get them.
B) I showed them the papers which were written in very beautiful language of full of fratellanza and abnegazione but which really said with the adjectives removed that I had been given the medals because I was an American.
C) after that their manner change a little toward me although I was their friend against Outsiders
D) I was afraid but I was never really one of them after they had read the citation because it had been different with them and they had done very different things to get their medals.
E) I had been wounded it was true but we all knew being wounded after all was really an accident.
ANSWER
The correct option is D.
In the statement given in option D, it can be seen that the speaker was formerly a soldier, who had fought in a war and had been awarded a medal to that effect. But despite knowing about this meritorious service that he had rendered to his country and the award he was given, he was not really accepted as an inner person by the group of people that was refereed to in the statement. They did not think much of him.
