Answer:

No, the child cannot inherit the disease.

Explanation:

The problem tells you that the man has a recessive allele for an inherited disease, but he has a normal phenotype. This means that the disease is recessive and in order for an individual to have the disease, they must have two recessive copies of the allele. The problem also tells you that the mother has a genotype that does not include this allele. With this information, you can do a punnet cross of BB (mother) x Bb (carrier father), and end up with the following possible genotypes: BB, Bb, BB, Bb. Therefore the child will not have the disease, but there is a 50% chance that the child will be a carrier for the disease.

Answer:

A) The paper is affected by air resistance due to its flat shape, so wadding the paper into a tight ball would cause it to hit the ground at the same time as the other objects.

Explanation:

<u>I am so sorry if this is incorrect! But after some research, this is what I found. </u>

Aristotle said that there are 4 elements: Earth, Wind, Water, Fire. Objects made of earth (like a rock) will want to go the center of the universe (center of the Earth). Things made of fire want to go to the place where fire is. I guess this would be the Sun - or somewhere up. Aristotle also said that a heavier object will fall at a faster speed.

Here is the first classic example. This is a bowling ball and a basketball dropped from the same height. Normally, people would assume thatn the bowling ball would drop quicker. They are correct. Please note that heavier objects do not always fall faster though.

I hope I answered your question! please give brainliest!
