<span>Disparities in sentencing often occur due to factors such as race, gender, income, and social status. The judge's personal prejudices against certain cultural groups can sway a punishment to be more severe for some than others. Female tend to receive easier sentences than males. Wealthy seem to receive a slap on the wrist more often than the poor.</span>

Explain why disease alleles for cystic fibrosis (CF) are recessive to the normal alleles (CF+), yet the disease alleles responsi

Korvikt [17]

Answer:

Cystic fibrosis mutation is recessive to normal allele because only one functional or normal allele is enough to produce a functional protein. So, if mutation is present in one allele then also, a normal protein can be made from normal allele. The presence of normal protein prevents the expression of disease.

In addition, mutated allele only results in the loss of function of protein which can be compensated by the expression of normal allele. It does not add any toxic effect to the protein. Consequently, the disease is inherited in autosomal recessive fashion.

In contrast, Huntington mutation not only alters the structure of the functional protein but also adds toxicity to it. The altered protein is enable to interact with 100s of other proteins and inhibit or decrease their function. So, if only one allele is present then also, the mutated protein will be produced and it will result in the phenotype. Consequently, it is inherited as autosomal dominant fashion.

galben [10]

The graph is not given in the question and options are also not clear, so the required graph is attached below and the clear options are also given below:

Which statement is best supported by the data in the graph? A graph entitled Number of people living with H I V, number of people newly infected with H I V and number of AIDS deaths worldwide from 1990 to 2008 in millions is shown. Year is on the horizontal axis and number of people is on the vertical axis. The number of people living with H I V steadily increases over the years. The number of people newly infected increased from 1990 to 1996 and then began to decrease. The number of deaths due to AIDS increased from 1990 to 2002, and then began to level off and decrease.

A. Since 2000, there has been an increase in the number of people living with HIV, but a decrease in the number of people newly infected with HIV.

B. Since 1990, both the number of new HIV infections and the number of deaths due to AIDS has consistently increased

C. The life span of a person living with HIV has become shorter.

D. Twice as many people were living with HIV in 2008 than in 2000.

Answer:

A. Since 2000, there has been an increase in the number of people living with HIV, but a decrease in the number of people newly infected with HIV.

Explanation:

According to the data shown in the graph, since 2000, the people living with HIV has been increased, but a decrease in the number of people newly infected with HIV.

The reason behind this can be early screening of the infection since 2000 and awareness among people decreasing the infection rate as well.

Hence, the correct option is A.
