Answer:

No, it is not.

Explanation:

Looking at this chart, this looks to me to be a case of an x-linked recessive disease.  (If you want to know how to tell, or got some context that this is not the case, let me know)

Remember that females have two x chromosomes and males have one x and one y chromosome. As this disease is recessive, this means that for a female to exhibit the disease, she must have both x chromosomes have the disease. If she only has one x chromosome with the disease, she's considered a carrier.

On the other hand, males are completely binary, as they only have one x chromosome - either their x chromosome has the disease, and they exhibit it, or their x chromosome does not, and they do not have the disease, nor do they carry it. Thus, males can also not be carriers.

A square on the chart is representative of a male, while a circle is a female. IV-2 is a square, thus he is a male. This means that he cannot be a carrier, so your answer is no.

If any of this doesn't make sense, feel free to let me know! Hope this helps.

3. Which of the following reflect reasons for America's interest in the Panama Canal?
Rom4ik [11]

"To facilitate the faster movement of naval ships from the Atlantic to the Pacific" reflect one of the reasons for America's interest in the Panama Canal.

<u>Answer:</u> Option E

<u>Explanation:</u>

Panama Canal is an artificial or man-made waterway of 82 km located in transcontinental country in Central America and South America named as "Panama". France was the very first nation to start work on the canal in 1881 but after some engineering issues they eliminated themselves from the project.

In 1901 the United States leaded the project which finally resulted into inaugural ceremony of the panama canal on 15th August, 1914.The bypass, one of the largest and most complex engineering projects ever undertaken, significantly reduced the time for ships to pass between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. Therefore it allowed them to avoid the long, risky Cape Horn path around the southernmost tip of South America via the Drake Passage or Magellan Strait.
