Complete question:
Imagine that a newly discovered, recessively inherited disease is expressed only in individuals with type O blood, although the disease and blood group are independently inherited.
A normal man with type A blood and a normal woman with type B blood have already had one child with the disease. The woman is now pregnant for a second time.
Assuming that both parents are heterozygous for the gene that causes the disease, what is the probability that the second child will also have the disease? Express your answer as a fraction using the slash symbol and no spaces (for example, 1/2).
Answer:
The probability that the second child will also have the disease is 1/16.
Explanation:
<u>Available data:</u>
- Two genes independently inherited: one for blood type, the other for disease
- Man with type A blood x Woman with type B blood
- Both parents are heterozygous for the gene that causes the disease; Dd
If the man has A blood, and the woman has B blood, and they already have an affected child, this means that they must be heterozygous for blood type too.

Answer:
Option D. Replace a conventional car with an electric car.
Explanation:
Conventional cars are those which moves with the use of fossil fuels such as petrol and diesel etc while electric cars are those cars which moves with the use of electricity. When fossil fuels burns in the engine of conventional cars, it produces a large amount of smoke which cause pollution in the air while electric cars do not emitt any harmful gases in the environment so electric cars are used instead of conventional cars.
Answer:
First law of thermodynamics is the conservation of energy states that energy is not created and not destroyed but only can be stored.
Thermodynamics second law states that total entropy of a system increases from lower to higher system and some of the energy is always wasted during the work done.
In the food chain plants are the producers which accept light energy and stored in the form of chemical energy and energy flow to the herbivores and higher trophic levels in the chemical form only and no new energy is created in between the chain (Fisrt law of thermodynamics). Heat is generated during respiration by plants and animals (wasted energy) and entropy also increases with the increase in level of the pyramid of energy (Second law of thermodynamics).
Answer:
Genetic variation in a group of organisms enables some organisms to survive better than others in the environment in which they live. Organisms of even a small population can differ strikingly in terms of how well suited they are for life in a certain environment.
Explanation:
Genetic variations are important because a diverse gene pool is good for long-term survival of a species since the environment is always changing, so the diversity of DNA offers the most fit of the species a better chance of surviving because they are most adapted to the constantly changing environment.
