Answer:

Color blindness is an X-linked trait. This means that the gene that decides whether or not someone is colorblind is found on the X chromosome. X and Y chromosomes are the chromosomes that decide biological gender. Females have 2 X-chromosomes and males have 1 X and 1 Y-chromosome. Colorblindness is also a recessive gene; this means that for colorblindness to present itself, it must be the only type of gene present. So, if there is a dominant, non-colorblindness allele, then the person will not be colorblind.

Since men only have 1 X-chromosome, if that chromosome has the recessive trait, they will be colorblind. On the other hand, women have 2 X-chromosomes. Therefore, if either of these chromosomes has the dominant allele, then they will not be colorblind.

In the end, the reason why men are more likely to be colorblind is because of probability, and the fact that they do not have the safety of 2 chances like women.

stellarik [79]

Answer:

The correct answer is: false.

Explanation:

In this question, time represents price.

For Adam, riding his bike takes 40 minutes and gives additional satisfaction of 300 units.

While jogging will give him 250 additional utils of satisfaction and takes 35 minutes.

The ratio of marginal utility and time for biking

= \frac{300}{40}

= 7.5

The ratio of marginal utility and time for jogging

= \frac{250}{35}

= 7.14

The ratio is greater for biking, this means that Adam will be increasing his satisfaction level by jogging instead of biking.

What are Psychologists' involvement in assessments related to death penalty cases
dlinn [17]

Answer:

Forensic psychologists, that is psychologists that specialize in psychological evaluation and treatment, especially in legal cases have become commonplace in death penalty cases ever since the Supreme Court ruled that capital sentencing must be based on the individual offense and the perpetrator of the crime. What this means, in essence, is that psychological factors among others must be considered as it could possibly influence jury decision.

The importance of forensic psychologists in the death penalty was greatly highlighted after the Supreme Court decided in 2002 that the use of the death penalty for mentally unstable people was unconstitutional. If an accused is deemed mentally unfit by a psychologist, such a person cannot face the death sentence. This goes on to underline the importance of the psychologists' assessments in death penalty cases.
