Answer:

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is more common in Caucasian individuals and is inherited with an autosomal recessive inheritance pattern.

Explanation:

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a condition of genetic origin, which affects organs such as the lungs, pancreas, intestine and liver. CF is characterized by the production of very thick and viscous mucus, and promotes the formation of cysts and fibrosis of the affected organs.

CF is an inherited disease that is transmitted in an autosomal recessive pattern, that is, the altered gene is required to be on both chromosomes of the allelic pair, in order to be expressed.

It is a very common disease in Caucasian individuals, especially those of European descent.

Why is the movement of basic elements in<br> ecosystems different from the transfer of<br> energy?
Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

Chemical nutrients and energy tend to flow in the same direction for most of an ecosystem. The big difference is that the chemical nutrients are ultimately recycled in the ecosystem while the energy is ultimately lost from the ecosystem to the universe at large. Energy in any ecosystem ultimately comes from the Sun

Answer:

1. Across the world, mining contributes to erosion, sinkholes, deforestation, loss of biodiversity, significant use of water resources, dammed rivers and ponded waters, wastewater disposal issues, acid mine drainage and contamination of soil, ground and surface water, all of which can lead to health issues in local.. 2.Mining in the real world can affect society, ecosystems, and the environment of a specific  region because all the minerals that you are looking for won't be right where you want them to be. It is not going to be in the same area. Instead, it will be scattered throughout the mines and you will have to search for them. 3.Students act as mining engineers and simulate ore mining production by using chocolate chip cookies. They focus on the cost-benefit analysis of the chocolate ore production throughout the simulation, which helps them understand the cost of production. As students “mine” with tools such as paperclips and toothpicks, they keep records of their costs—land (cookie), equipment used, cookie size before and after production, and time spent. While the goal is to make as much profit as possible, other costs and goals are taken into consideration—as in real-world mining engineering. For example, mining engineers also consider the resulting amount of destruction to the lithosphere when deciding the best method to obtain ore. Thus, a line item for land reclamation cost is included from the beginning. A provided worksheet serves as a profit and loss statement. 4.Mine reclamation is the process of restoring land that has been mined to a natural or economically usable state. Although the process of mine reclamation occurs once mining is completed, the planning of mine reclamation activities occurs prior to a mine being permitted or started.
