The surviving children would be 66.7% female and 33.3% male. Of the female children, 50% would be expected to be carriers of this gene (like their mother)
| Xg | X
—————-
X | XXg | XX
—————-
Y | XgY | XY

Pretty ugly, but the best punnet square I can do without a link. The offspring with the “g” are those that carry the lethal gene. The male child that carries it will die, but since it is recessive, the female child will live but will be a carrier for this gene. I hope this helps.

gayaneshka [121]
The correct answer is that "further teaching on skin care is necessary". This patient is using tepid water to cleanse the area as well as applying ice three times a day. The nurse should educate the patient that the extremes of temperatures are not necessary and should be avoided such as warm to hot water as well as cold water or even ice. Cold water or ice will constrict blood vessels in the area and can produce tissue necrosis by ischemia. Warm to hot water can scald the skin (if hot enough) and even promote the redness as warm water dilates blood vessels.

Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

The use of music

Explanation:

<em>The independent variable in the example is the use of music.</em>

The independent variable in research or experiment is a variable whose value is not affected by any other variable. That is, the value of an independent variable is not influenced by any other variable.

<u>In this case, the use of music stands alone and is not influenced by any other variable in the experiment. In actual fact, the use of music's effect is being tested in the experiment and hence, is not in itself influenced by any other variable.</u>
