Complete question:
Imagine that a newly discovered, recessively inherited disease is expressed only in individuals with type O blood, although the disease and blood group are independently inherited.
A normal man with type A blood and a normal woman with type B blood have already had one child with the disease. The woman is now pregnant for a second time.
Assuming that both parents are heterozygous for the gene that causes the disease, what is the probability that the second child will also have the disease? Express your answer as a fraction using the slash symbol and no spaces (for example, 1/2).
Answer:
The probability that the second child will also have the disease is 1/16.
Explanation:
<u>Available data:</u>
- Two genes independently inherited: one for blood type, the other for disease
- Man with type A blood x Woman with type B blood
- Both parents are heterozygous for the gene that causes the disease; Dd
If the man has A blood, and the woman has B blood, and they already have an affected child, this means that they must be heterozygous for blood type too.

Answer:
Due to no resistance.
Explanation:
Most mosquitoes perish when DDT chemical was sprayed the first time because these mosquitoes are vulnerable to the DDT chemical and there is no resistance present in their body against this chemical. DDT chemical is an insecticide which is used against insects or pests that causes damage to human, organisms and crops. DDT was first synthesized in 1874 by the Austrian chemist named Othmar Zeidler.
The nucleus would be like the command center in the cell, because it monitors the cells functions and keeps everything "running smoothly".
