Is it possible for individual IV-2 to be a carrier? Why? Please help!

Kamila [148]3 years ago

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.

Redacta un escrito dónde expliques como está formado(un ecosistema), menciona ejemplos y como sigue una estabilidad por el equil
IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

Un ecosistema esta formado por facotres abioticos y bioticos.

Los factores bioticos son aquellos que presentan signos vitales, es decir que cumplen con la vida, metabolismo, respiracion, entre otras funciones vivas.

Los factores abietos son aquellos que no tienen vida pero con los que los factores bioticos intercambian energia, un ejemplo de esto son las rocas, los vientos, los sedimentos, la tierra fertil.

Los factores bioticos serian los organismos vivos como los animales, que al funcionar como sistemas abiertos de intercambio de energia constante mantienen un equilibrio fisico biologico con los factores bioticos.

Explanation:

Los ecosistemas cumplen con una cadena que no debe romperse ni faltar ningun eslabon, si esta continuidad se interrumpe con la extincion de una especie como animal o vegetal el ecosistema variará, y cambiara toda su conformacion.

Es un conjunto de factores bioticos y abioticos en armonia que se complementan e intercambian energia entre si de manera ordenada en eslabones, si uno de estos eslabones se rompe, se extingue, o se modifica por intervencion del hombre u otros factores TODO el escosistema se verá modificado o afectado.

In which of the following ways could humans help the carbon cycle return to normal
navik [9.2K]

Answer:

reduce the amount of fossil fuels they combust

Explanation:

Fossil fuels lead to environmental damage and its burning releases a lot of pollutants especially carbon and sulphur oxide to the air. The carbon increase in the atmosphere may lead to global warming because of the so-called greenhouse effect. To reduce carbon by returning to the normal cycle, humans can reduce the amount of fossil fuels they combust, try converting solid coal to gas or liquid and for removing pollutants or alternatively used renewable energy sources that are less pollutant.
