First of all, hemophilia is an x-linked recessive and recessive disease. So it's a genetic disease.

Therefore, there is no possibility of snatching it from his son. It can come from mom or dad. If the mother and father do not have this disease, as in the question, the mother carries this disease recessively. If it was a girl, she would be less likely to get the disease, as she would have to inherit the genotype of this disease from both the mother and the father. however, since her children are boys, she received the disease gene from the mother's recessive gene region. Therefore, the boy has hemophilia in the XhY genotype.

MariettaO [177]

The scientist will add up the mass of the protons and mass of the neutrons to come up with the approximate mass of atom because protons and neutrons is what consist of the atoms. Therefore, in order to have the approximate mass of an atom, adding the mass of protons and neutrons will give the result.

What property of water best helps aquatic life survive in lakes during the winter?

WITCHER [35]

This property allows fish living in lakes and ponds to survive the winter. The ice that freezes on the surface insulates the water below so it stays warmer! In general, it is extremely unusual for the solid phase of a substance to be less dense than its liquid phase, but lucky for aquatic life it is!

Out of the following given choices;

a. Valine instead of glutamic acid in the sixth position

b. Glutamic acid replacing valine in the first position

c. Extensive amino acid substitutions

d. Trinucleotide repeats

e. Frameshift substitutions

The answer is A. this is caused by a mutation in the beta thalassemia genes on one of the 46 human chromosomes (chromosome #11) of the individual. The alpha subunit is normal in people with sickle cell disease. When sickle hemoglobin releases oxygen in the peripheral tissues, the molecules tend to stick together and form long chains or polymers. These rigid polymers distort the cell and cause it to bend out of shape from the normative disc shape.
