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.

Answer:

SecondOption - "Mid oceanic ridge"

Explanation:  

<em> Mid-ocean ridges are formed by divergent plate boundaries in the ocean. This is where upwelling magma creates new seabed. A diverging plate boundary occurs when two plates move away from one other. Magma rises from deep beneath the Earth and erupts along these boundaries, forming new crust on the lithosphere. The majority of divergent plate borders are undersea, forming submerged mountain ranges known as oceanic spreading ridges. </em>

Hope this helps! :D

A woman heterozygous for A blood marries a man heterozygous for B blood.
fgiga [73]

Answer:

b) 25% is the right answer

Explanation:

A woman  heterozygous for A blood group with genotype =  Iᵃi

A man  heterozygous for A with genotype =  Iᵇi

so after cross  between Iᵃ i   x  Iᵇ i

                      alleles            man                       woman

                                                                   Iᵃ                 i

                                                Iᵇ                  IᵃIᵇ              Iᵇi

                                                 i                   Iᵃi                 ii

so the offspring will be

                       25 % AB     IᵃIᵇ              25 % A     Iᵃi

                       25 % B     Iᵇi                   25 % O   ii

Peppered Moths: An Example ofNatural Selection. ... Light-colored peppered moths were no longer well camouflaged on the darkened tree trunks. The dark colored moths, however, were well camouflaged. Because predators were able to spot the light moths more easily, the darkmoths were more likely to survive and reproduce
