1. Huntington’s disease is a dominant allele (not sex linked) that usually does not manifest itself until after age thirty- five

. Individual who have the disease are almost always heterozygous. As a genetics counselor, you are visited by a 23-year-old woman. Her mother has Huntigton’s, but her father is normal. Use alphabets when required.
a. What is the genotype of the mother?

b. What is the genotype of the father?

c. What is the probability that this woman will develop Huntington’s disease as she grows older ?

Answer:

a the mother is heterozygous so Aa

b would be aa

c. 50% as she could either get the dominant allele from her mother or not it is a coin flip

Explanation:for c the best way to do that one is to draw a punnitt square

A 8.00g of a certain Compound X, known to be made of carbon, hydrogen and perhaps oxygen, and to have a molecular molar mass of
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

C3H6.

Explanation:

Data obtained from the question:

Mass of the compound = 8g

Mass of CO2 = 24.01g

Mass of H2O = 13.10g

Next, we shall determine the mass of C, H and O present in the compound. This is illustrated below:

Molar Mass of CO2 = 12 + (2x16) = 44g/mol

Molar Mass of H2O = (2x1) + 16 = 18g/mol

Mass of C in compound = Mass of C/Molar Mass of CO2 x 24.01

=> 12/44 x 24.01 = 6.5g

Mass of H in the compound = Mass of H/Molar Mass of H2O x 13.1

=> 2x1/18 x 13.1 = 1.5g

Mass of O in the compound = Mass of compound – (mass of C + Mass of H)

=> 8 – (6.5 + 1.5) = 0

Next, we shall determine the empirical formula of the compound. This is illustrated below:

C = 6.5g

H = 1.

Divide by their molar mass

C = 6.5/12 = 0.54

H = 1.4/1 = 1.

Divide by the smallest

C = 0.54/0.54 = 1

H = 1/0.54 = 2

Therefore, the empirical formula is CH2

Finally, we shall determine the molecular formula as follow:

The molecular formula of a compound is a multiple of the empirical formula.

Molecular formula = [CH2]n

[CH2]n = 44

[12 + (2x1)]n = 44

14n = 44

Divide both side by 14

n = 44/14

n = 3

Molecular formula = [CH2]n = [CH2]3 = C3H6

Therefore, the molecular formula of the compound is C3H6

Protista are often grouped according to whether they are plant-like or fungus-like. What is another way they can be grouped? Bac
Gelneren [198K]

The right answer is animal-like.

Protists are unicellular living organisms about 0.1 mm in size, such as amoeba, paramecium and euglena.

Protists are a paraphyletic group in the phylogenetic classification. They were, in classical classification, the fourth reign of the domain of eukaryotes but they are currently defined by exclusion, that is to say that they are all eukaryotes belonging neither to mushrooms nor to plants or animals.

A tank of 0.1m3 volume contains air at 25∘C and 101.33 kPa. The tank is connected to a compressed-air line which supplies air at
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

Amount of Energy = 23,467.9278J

Explanation:

Given

Cv = 5/2R

Cp = 7/2R wjere R = Boltzmann constant = 8.314

The energy balance in the tank is given as

∆U = Q + W

According to the first law of thermodynamics

In the question, it can be observed that the volume of the reactor is unaltered

So, dV = W = 0.

The Internal energy to keep the tank's constant temperature is given as

∆U = Cv((45°C) - (25°C))

∆U = Cv((45 + 273) - (25 + 273))

∆U = Cv(20)

∆U = 5/2 * 8.314 * 20

∆U = 415.7 J/mol

Before calculating the heat loss of the tank, we must first calculate the amount of moles of gas that entered the tank where P1 = 101.33 kPa

The Initial mole is calculated as

(P * V)/(R * T)

Where P = P1 = 101.33kPa = 101330Pa

V = Volume of Tank = 0.1m³

R = 8.314J/molK

T = Initial Temperature = 25 + 273 = 298K

So, n = (101330 * 0.1)/(8.314*298)

n = 4.089891232222

n = 4.089

Then we Calculate the final moles at P2 = 1500kPa = 1500000Pa

V = Volume of Tank = 0.1m³

R = 8.314J/molK

T = Initial Temperature = 25 + 273 = 298K

n = (1500000 * 0.1)/(8.314*298)

n = 60.54314465936812

n = 60.543

So, tue moles that entered the tank is ∆n

∆n = 60.543 - 4.089

∆n = 56.454

Amount of Energy is then calculated as:(∆n)(U)

Q = 415.7 * 56.454

Q = 23,467.9278J

The crystal structure of an ionic compound depends on the . a) sizes of cations and anions. b) ratio of cations to anions. c) ma
laiz [17]
The crystal structure of an ionic compound depends on the sizes of cations and anions, as well as the ratio of cations to anions. The ratio of the cations and anions need to be even, otherwise, the crystal won't form.
 
So the answer would be D, both A and B.
