Answer:
About 61% / over 60%
Explanation:
In 2021, about 4,116 billion kilowatthours (kWh) (or about 4.12 trillion kWh) of electricity were generated at utility-scale electricity generation facilities in the United States.1 About 61% of this electricity generation was from fossil fuels—coal, natural gas, petroleum, and other gases.
Carbon cycle is associated with fossil fuels
Answer:
1/8 (12.5%)
Explanation:
An autosomal recessive disease is an inherited disease in which an individual need to receive both defective alleles at the same gene <em>locus</em> to be expressed in the phenotype. In this case, both parents are carriers of the recessive mutant allele associated with the sickle cell anaemia trait, thereby both parents are heterozygous, ie., each parent has one copy of the normal allele 'H' and one copy of the defective mutant allele 'h' associated with this condition. In consequence, their first child has a 1/4 (25%) chance of having sickle-cell anaemia. Moreover, the chance of having a girl is 1/2 and the chance of having a boy is 1/2, thereby the final chance of having a girl sickle cell anaemia individual is 1/4 x 1/2 = 1/8 (12.5%).
- Parental cross for sickle cell anaemia trait = Hh x Hh >>
- F1 = 1/4 HH (normal); 1/2 Hh (normal); 1/4 hh (sickle cell anaemia) >>
- Sex proportion of sickle cell anaemia individuals = 1/8 female sickle cell anaemia individuals + 1/8 male sickle cell anaemia individuals (1/8 + 1/8 = 1/4)
The DNA carrying a silent mutation will have no gene expression or result on the phenotype or physical appearance of the organism. Silent mutations code for the same amino acid resulting in more genetic diversity, having a genotypic advantage, but providing no noticeable differences.
