Explanation:
Club foot is a rare disease due to congenital skeletal abnormalities, both genetic and nongenetic factors are thought to be responsible for club foot. A family in which club foot was inherited as an autosomal dominant trait with reduced penetrance was identified in 2008. It was found that a mutation in the PITXI gene that caused club foot in this family. Through DNA testing, they determined that 11 people in the family carried the PITXI mutation, but only 8 of these people had club foot.
Required:
What is the penetrance of the PIXTI mutation in this family?
Answer:
72.72%
Explanation:
The Penetrance of the PIXTI mutation in this family can be represented as
The Penetrance represents the percentage of people who show/have the disease
family size = 11
number of people with the disease = 8
Penetrance of PIXTI in the family can be calculated as = 8/11 * 100
= 0.7272 * 100
= 72.72%
The remaining 27.38 % are just carriers of the PITXI gene

Describe the ways in which the bacteria cells cluster together
Answer:
There are several different morphologies that describe particular bacteria and archaea. Archaea can have a round (cocci) shape or a rod (bacilli) shape.Bacteria can also be circular, rod, or a spiral shape (spirochete).
When a doctor needs to give someone a medication intravenously (through a vein), they dilute that medicine in a saline solution (salty water). Why would it be a bad idea for a doctor to mix the medicine with plain water? (Hint: Osmosis is the answer, but you’ll need to explain why.)
Answer:
it is because the blood cells will have too much water in them and they will burst.
Explanation:
there will be less salt inside the cells so all the water will enter the cells. if there is also salt present outside of the cell then the water and the electrolites(salt) will equalize between the inside and the outside of the cell.

Prevailing winds blow from the Pacific Ocean toward two cities separated by mountains. City A is on the leeward side of
the mountains and city B is on the windward side. Which city is likely to have a wetter climate? Explain your answer.
Answer:
City B will have a wetter climate.
Explanation:
This is because in windier areas in tends to get more wet than rocky areas (mountains) where City A lies. Also because more wind will blow more and more clouds in the direction of city B making it rainier there a lot more often than a non windy rocky are.
you are testing a new blood glucose monitor. every sample that you take gets a reading of 80. which of the following terms best describes the monitors readings?
Answer:
the monitor is reliable but there is not enough info. to comment on validity
Explanation:
The monitor is consistent - which is reliability, but you can't be sure the results it is returning are correct based on the question, so validity can't be determined.

How is mutation different from adaptation?
Answer:
It can be a genetic mutation or it can be a change in a strategy. ... In this definition a mutation is any evident change (regardless of its effect on success), and adaptation is a change that made the group thrive in a given circumstance or environment.
Explanation:
Answer:
mutation can be a change in strategy and adaption is a change that made the group thrive in a given circumstance or environment.
Why do heart cells have different characteristics than skin cells?
Heart cells have different DNA than skin cells.
Heart cells express different genes than skin cells.
Heart cells reproduce by cell differentiation.
Heart cells reproduce by mitosis.
Answer:
Heart cells express different genes than skin cells. B
Heart cells have different characteristics than skin cells because heart cells express different genes than skin cells.
Humans as multicellular organisms possess different cells in our body system. These cells perform varying functions in the body. The different functions performed by different cells is attributed to the cellular differentiation. Cellular differentiation is the process whereby an undifferentiated cell becomes specialized. The cellular differentiation occurs due to the difference in gene expression in each specific cell. All cells contain the same DNA sequence, however, they are expressed differently. Therefore, heart cells have different characteristics than skin cells because heart cells express different genes than skin cells.Learn more at: https://brainly.com/question/18546772?referrer=searchResults
What are the similarities between the different models used to quantify the growth of a population
Answer:The models used are exponential growth models and logistic growth models. They are similar because they both grow slowly. How does carrying capacity affect reproductive rates?In the real world, with its limited resources, exponential growth cannot continue indefinitely. Exponential growth may occur in environments where there are few individuals and plentiful resources, but when the number of individuals becomes large enough, resources will be depleted, slowing the growth rate.
Explanation:
A new fossil called Darwinius was discovered in Germany. It lived around 47 mya. It had a small brain, short snout, and postorbital bar. Its diet probably included a lot of fruit and leaves. It did not have a dental comb. It had nails instead of claws and was probably an arboreal quadruped. Researchers disagree about whether the fossil is more similar to living haplorhines (the group that includes tarsiers, Old and New World monkeys, apes, hominins) or more similar to strepsirrhines (lemurs, lorises)
Required:
a. Describe two features that the fossil shares in common with living haplorhines.
b. Describe two features that the fossil shares in common with living strepsirrhines.
Explanations:
Darwinius is also known as Ida. some scientists have grouped it to be a member of the adapiforms. it's remains were unearthed in Germany. it is regarded as a female because it's skeleton lacks baculum.
Instead of claws darwinius have nails. they could be classified as transitional fossils due to its links with living strepsirrhines and also living haplorhines
similarities with haplorhines:
1. they share similar body structure and tail, also their nails are similar
2. there feeding is almost the same in terms of diet they are carnivores.
similarities with strepsirrhines:
1. they are both mammals
2. they have close body structure and also almost same tail

Activity A (continued from previous page) 4. Observe: Wait until the numbers are not changing very much. What do you notice about the solute concentrations inside and outside of the cell? This situation is called dynamic equilibrium
Answer:
Yes, dynamic equilibrium is present in the cell.
Explanation:
In dynamic equilibrium, the concentration of solute remain the same due to equal flowing of solutes inside and outside the cell so there is no change occurs inside the cell, the cell maintain same concentration of solutes both inside and outside the cell. Dynamic equilibrium is a type of equilibrium in which the reactants and products formed at the same rate and no change occurs inside the reaction. In the cell, homeostasis is responsible for maintaining equilibrium in the cell so no change occurs inside the cell.

the double helix is opened down the middle by an enzyme called helicase
What are the causes of inherited genetic variation
Answer:
Genetic variation can be caused by mutation which can create entirely new alleles in a population, random mating, random fertilization, and recombination between homologous chromosomes during meiosis which reshuffles alleles within an organism's offspring.

Answer:
Genetic variation can be caused by mutation (which can create entirely new alleles in a population), random mating, random fertilization, and recombination between homologous chromosomes during meiosis (which reshuffles alleles within an organism's offspring).
Using established recombinant DNA technology, you insert a gene from a human liver cell into a bacterium. The bacterium then expresses a protein corresponding to the inserted DNA. To your dismay, you discover that the protein produced is useless and is found to contain many more amino acids than does the protein made by the eukaryotic cell.
Assuming there is no mutation in the human gene, explain why this happened.
a. bacteria do not use splicing to edit RNA after its transcription.
b. rRNAs in bacterial cells contain more nucleotides than in eukaryotic cells.
c. bacterial RNA contains less stop codons.
d. amino acids in bacterial cells are specified by double codes.
Answer:
The fact that the amino acid chain is consistently having more amino acids than what is actually present can be attested to the fact of how gene expressions can be observed in the prokaryotic cell compared to the eukaryotic one.
