Tay-Sachs disease is a recessive genetic disorder. If only one gene is present, an individual is a carrier. What is the probabil

ity of two healthy Tay-Sachs carriers having a child that has the disease?

Answer:

The probability of two healthy Tay-Sachs carriers having a child that has the disease will be 25 %

Explanation:

It is given that Tay Sachs is a recessive disorder which means the genotype must both recessive allele.

Let the dominant normal allele be T and the recessive diseased allele be t

Genotype of a healthy Tay-Sachs carriers will be Tt

Tt * Tt

TT, Tt, Tt, tt

Only child with genotype tt will have Tay-Sachs disease

Hence the probability of two healthy Tay-Sachs carriers having a child that has the disease will be \frac{1}{4} * 100 = 25 %

What happens to a stimulus after the body receives it?
deff fn [24]

When a stimulus is produced it signifies the production of sensation in the sensory organs. This sensation through the sensory organs (eyes, ears, nose, skin and tongue) is sent to the sensory nerve connected to these sense organs. These sensory nerves send nerve impulses through the nerve fiber to the spinal cord. From the spinal cord the nerve impulse is transferred to motor nerves.

The motor nerve then sends response to the stimulus though the same path to the region from which stimulus was received and thus the body responds through muscular activity. Such as removal of heat from the heated object if heated sensations were received.

Duchene muscular dystrophy, or DMD, is a recessive, x-linked disease. What would you expect to see in the offspring of a woman w
Harman [31]

It is expected to see in the offspring of a woman who has DMD and a man who does not have the disease that all of their sons and none of their daughters will have the disease

Option A.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

Duchene muscular dystrophy, also known as DMD is a recessive, x-linked disease. It occurs when there is a mutation in the dystrophin gene. This mutation further affects the muscles of the body leading it to degenerate and ultimately death.

When a woman with DMD and a man without DMD have an offspring, their daughters and the sons will get the mutated gene signature from the mother as she is the carrier. But since the father has normal genes, the daughters will become the carriers and will not be afflicted by it. This is because the normal X chromosome from the father will be passed on to them. The sons on the other hand will have the disease as they will get one of their mother's X chromosome which would be carrying the mutated gene.

weathering takes it away

erosion builds up


Deposition is the geological process in which sediments, soil and rocks are added to a land form or land mass. Wind, ice, water, and gravity transport previously weathered surface material, which, at the loss of enough kinetic energy in the fluid, is deposited, building up layers of sediment.
