The state legislature of state A enacted legislation prohibiting the use of tractor-trailer rigs weighing more than 100,000 poun

ds gross, on the basis that superheavy trucks rapidly degrade the state's roadways and pose a greater safety danger than smaller trucks. A trucking firm that frequently uses state A's highways for trips between state B and state C purchased several tractor-trailer rigs weighing over 100,000 pounds when loaded. The trucking firm brings an action for declaratory relief in federal court in state B, seeking to have the state A legislation declared unconstitutional. It presents expert testimony that the heavier trucks are no less safe than smaller models. State A produces no evidence, but asserts that the legislation is justified as an exercise of its police power.

Color blindness is a sex-linked recessive disorder on the X chromosome. If the allele “b” is used to denote color blindness, rec
yuradex [85]

Answer:

If the "b" allele denotes color blindness, a color blind woman would have the "bb" genotype.

Explanation:

Although color blindness is a genetic condition linked to the X chromosome, it is very rare for color blind women to exist, although they may carry the allele that denotes color blindness.

This is because women have two X chromosomes, if a woman receives an X chromosome from her father containing the "b" allele (which represents color blindness), but receives an X chromosome from her mother which contains the "B" allele (which does not represent color blindness), this woman will not be color blind, although she may pass the defective gene on to her children.

With this, we can affirm that, in women, color blindness is only expressed in recessive homozygosity, for this reason, a color blind woman would have the "bb" genotype.

Eighteen-year-old Alisha was driving through her neighborhood one afternoon and recognized six-year-old Timmy, a member of the C
Tcecarenko [31]

The correct answer is no.

Alisha was under no obligation to help Timmy, <em>there is no such thing like</em> <em>duty to rescue.</em> There is no legal requirement in the United States to help and rescue someone who is in danger. Even in extreme situation, when a person sees a person falling into a river for example, the witness of the situation is no obliged to assist with help.

There are some cases with some important exceptions: if the defendant created the peril he is obliged to come to the plaintiff's aid, if the defendant started to rescue the plaintiff, he must continue to do so, if the defendant is in a special relationship with the plaintiff ( teacher-student, worker-employer), he is under duty to rescue him.

Alisha was under no duty to inform Timmy's parents of the danger facing him <em>but she should have done it nevertheless.</em> She should at least have phoned them if she didn't have the time to stop by. She knew the boy well and she should have cared more. The need to help the boy should have come from her moral guidance and not as a sense of duty to be performed.
