Answer:

The correct answer is - overdominance.

Explanation:

In the given question, genotype Pp is a heterozygote condition that has a 54% survival rate or fitness thus these individual people get more chance of mating and increase in number as compared to the other two conditions of PP or pp traits where PP has 45% survivability, less than heterozygous condition and more than pp that has only 4% rate.

It results in a normalizing selection model of natural selection as a moderate trait, that is heterozygote, is selected. Thus, the selection of overdominance which means heterozygote condition produces a better phenotype than PP or pp parents is heterosis.

3. A cell with 10 chromosomes undergoes mitosis.
Mice21 [21]

Answer:

In a cell with 10 chromosomes undergoes mitosis, the result are 2 daughter cells each with 10 chromosomes

Explanation:

Cells have the ability to reproduce or replicate through 2 processes:

Mitosis

Meiosis

Mitosis differs from meiosis because the final result is always

2 daughter cells

The daughter cells are identical to the mother cell and this includes the same number of chromosomes

This means in mitosis 1 cell with 10 chromosomes leads to two identical cells each with 10 chromosomes.

A 12-year-old child sustains a moderate burn injury. the mother reports that the child last received a tetanus injection when he
Phoenix [80]
The nurse should administer an injection of postexposure prophylaxis for tetanus. Tetanus is a toxic substance produced by a bacterium that cannot survive air (oxygen) exposure, that is why deep wounds are more vulnerable to tetanus. A moderate burn injury is considered an open dirty wound, therefore the patient should be protected from tetanus.
There is a vaccine for tetanus, that provides immunization from this disease, but it needs to be repeated every 10 years. However, in cases where there is an open dirty wound, the vaccine is believed to be inactive if it was not done within the last 5 years.
In this case, the child will not receive the tetanus vaccine, but an injection of active immunization, which acts much faster, but does not last as long as the vaccine.
