Answer:
(a) 1/2; (b) no
Explanation:
Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency (G6PD) is an X-linked recessive disorder and the woman's father was diseased so it means that woman is a carrier of the allele but has normal phenotype. It means that she will have XXᵇ genotype.
In contrast to this, her husband is diseased so his genotype will be XᵇY.
The Punnett square diagram related to the cross is attached.
(a) Proportion of their sons expected to be G6PD is 1/2:
They both may give birth to 4 progeny with genotypes XXᵇ, XᵇXᵇ, XY and XᵇY. It means they both may have 2 sons out of which one with genotype XᵇY will be diseased while the one with genotype XY will be healthy. So the proportion of their sons having G6PD is 1/2 or 50%.
(b) If the husband were G6PD deficient, the answer will not change.
The reason behind this is that this disease is caused by an allele located in X chromosome. But father contributes only Y chromosome to his son not X chromosome. The X chromosome will affect the genotype of his daughter not son that is why answer will not change. It means they will still have 1/2 of their sons diseased.
Volume of milk that a glass can hold = 230 cubic cm
It is already given that
1 gallon of milk = 3.79 liters
W already know
1 liter = 1000 cubic cm
Then
3.79 liters = 1000 * 3.79 cubic cm
= 3790 cubic cm
Now
Number of glasses needed to contain 230 cm^3 of milk = 1
So
<span>Number of glasses needed to contain 3790 cm^3 of milk = 3790/230
</span> = 16.48
From the above deduction, we can conclude that 17 glasses of milk are required to hold 1 gallon of milk.
Answer:
Explanation:
Water intensive agriculture takes away liters of water that can be used to help a significant population survive. Cultivation of these crops has even endangered some areas of water scarcity.
The answer is A
The air circulated in a clockwise direction in the northern hemisphere
The population of fish will decrease.
The population of grazing animals will decrease.
<h3>What is drought?</h3>
A drought is a prolonged period without enough precipitation/water to support people, animals or crops.
With less water, fish and other creatures have fewer places to dwell, swim, and evade predators. In the near run, shrinking streams and lakes necessarily result in fewer fish. Drought conditions can cause water temperatures to rise, affecting cold-water species such as native trout.
The population of grazing animals would decrease as the grass is a food source and without their food source, there would be no source of staying meaning that they would result to finding new food sources through migration likely.
