Analysis: Consider Joe's story. IF the test shows he does have Marfan syndrome, and if he inherited the Marfan gene from his mother, does this mean that his brother and sister also have it? You may want to draw up a Punnett Square or drawing to help you explain your answer. HINT: Is there any suggestion that he got a Marfan gene from his father?
We inherit genes from our biological parents in specific ways. One way is called autosomal dominant inheritance.
What is autosomal dominant inheritance?
Autosomal dominant inheritance means that the gene in question is located on one of the autosomes. These are numbered pairs of chromosomes, 1 through 22. (These chromosomes do not determine an offspring's gender.) Dominant means that only one gene from one parent is necessary to pass down a trait or a disorder. When a parent has a dominant trait or disorder, there is a 50 percent chance that any child he or she has will also inherit the trait or disorder:

What is Marfan syndrome?
Marfan syndrome occurs in one of 5,000 live births. It is a connective tissue disorder associated with autosomal dominant inheritance. Connective tissue is abundant in the body and is important as a supporting structure. It is especially important for the musculoskeletal system. It also provides support for other body systems as well, including the eyes and the heart. The gene for Marfan syndrome is called fibrillin-1. This gene is localized to chromosome #15 on the long arm (q) at 15q21.1.
Common findings in individuals with Marfan syndrome include those related to connective tissue disorders. These include abnormal enlargement of the aortic root of the heart, dislocated lenses of the eyes, and a tall, lanky body with increased joint mobility, scoliosis, long flat feet, and long fingers. Findings may vary among individuals diagnosed with this condition, even within a family.
If an individual carries an abnormal gene for Marfan syndrome, that individual has a 50 percent risk of passing down the disorder to each future offspring. If a person does not carry the gene abnormality, then the risk for occurrence of the disorder in future offspring is the same as for the general population.

Explanation:
Tris is a molecule that can be used to prepare buffers for biochemical experiments. It exists in two forms: Tris (a base) and TrisH (an acid). The MW of Tris base is 121.14 g/mol; the MW of TrisH is 157.6 g/mol (the extra weight is due to the Cl- counterion that is present in the acid). The Ka of the acid is 8.32 X 10-9. Assume that you have TrisH in solid form (a powder), unlimited 1M HCl, unlimited 1 M NaOH and an unlimited supply of distilled water. How would you prepare 1 L of a 0.02 M Tris Buffer, pH
Solution :
The reaction :
[tex]$\text{TrisH}^+ + \text{H}_2\text{O} \rightarrow \text{Tris}^- +\text{H}_3\text{O}^+$[/tex]
We have
[tex]$K_a = \frac{[\text{Tris}^-]\times[\text{H}_3\text{O}^-]}{[\text{TrisH}^+]}$[/tex]
[tex]$=\frac{x^2}{0.02-x}$[/tex]
[tex]$= 8.32 \times 10^{-9}$[/tex]
Clearing x, we have [tex]$x=1.29 \times 10^{-5}$[/tex] moles of acid
Now to reach pH = [tex]$7.8 (\text{ pOH} = 14-7.8 = 6.2)$[/tex], we must have an [tex]$OH^-$[/tex] concentration of
[tex]$[OH^-] = 10^{-pOH}$[/tex]
[tex]$=10^{-6.2}$[/tex]
[tex]$=6.31 \times 10^{-7}$[/tex] moles of base
We must add enough NaOH of 1 M to neutralize the acid calculated above and also add the calculated base.
[tex]$n \ NaOH = 1.29 \times 10^{-5} + 6.31 \times 10^{-7}$[/tex]
[tex]$=1.35 \times 10^{-5}$[/tex] moles
Vol [tex]$NaOH = 1.35 \times 10^{-5} \text{ moles} \times \frac{1000 \ mL}{1 \ mol}$[/tex]
= 0.0135 L
Tris mass [tex]$H^+ = 0.02 \text{ mol} \times 157.6 \ g/mol$[/tex]
= 3.152 g
To prepare the said solution we must mix
-- [tex]$3.152 \ g \text{ TrisH}^+$[/tex]
-- [tex]$0.0135 \ mL \ NaOH \ 1M$[/tex]
-- [tex]$\text{Gauge to 1000 mL with H}_2\text{O}$[/tex]
Generally, atmospheric pressure decreases by 1.00 mmHg as
altitude increases 10.0 m. If altitude increases 100. m, how
much would the atmospheric pressure change in atm?
Answer:
-0.0132 atm
Explanation:
Step 1: Calculate the atmospheric pressure change if altitude increases 100. m
Atmospheric pressure decreases by 1.00 mmHg as altitude increases 10.0 m. The decrease in pressure when the altitude increases 100. m is:
100. m × (-1.00 mmHg/10.0 m) = -10.0 mmHg
Step 2: Convert "-10.0 mmHg" to atm
We will use the conversion factor 1 atm = 760 mmHg.
-10.0 mmHg × 1 atm/760 mmHg = -0.0132 atm
Which one of the following statements about the carbon phosphorus and nitrogen cycles is true ?
a. The major source of carbon used by plants is the soil
b. The major source of nitrogen used by plants is the air.
c. Phosphorus has no atmospheric component.
d. Bacteria drive the phosphorus cycle.
Answer: The correct option is C.
Phosphorus has no atmospheric component.
Explanation:
This is because, phosphorus is not in gaseous state but it is liquid at normal temperature, therefore it cannot be found in the air. It is cycle through water,soil or sediments. The major source of phosphorus in the phosphorus cycle is the rock. Rock contain phosphorus and phosphorus I'd gotten from rocks through weathering. Weathering is the disintegration of rocks into sediments or smaller particles. This is released into the soil after weathering.
Oxygen gas was produced in a reaction and collected over water. A 136.1 mL mL sample of gas was collected over water at 25C and 1.06 atm. The vapor pressure of water is 23.76 mmHg at 25C. Find the mass of ocygen gas collected in a reaction and collected over water. A 136.1 mL sample of gas was collected over water at 25C and 1.06 atm. The vapor pressure of water is 23.76 mmHg at 25C. Find the mass of oxygen gas collected.
Answer:
Explanation:
We shall find volume of gas at NTP or at 273 K , 760 mm of Hg .
Pressure of given gas = 1.06 x 760 mm of Hg less vapor pressure of water .
= 805.6 - 23.76 = 781.84 mm of Hg
For it we use gas law formula ,
P₁V₁ / T₁ = P₂V₂ / T₂
781.84 x 136.1 / ( 273 + 25 ) = 760 x V₂ / 273
= 128.26 mL .
= 128.26 x 10⁻³ L .
22.4 L of oxygen will have mass of 32 g
128.26 x 10⁻³ L of oxygen will have mass of 32 x 128.26 x 10⁻³ / 22.4 g
= 183.22 mg .

What enzyme catalyses the reaction of PRPP transfer to hypoxanthine with
formation of IMP?
Answer:
HPRT
Explanation:
HPRT catalyzes the salvage reactions of hypoxanthine and guanine with PRPP to form IMP and GMP
The formation of GMP from IMP requires oxidation at C-2 of the purine ring, followed by a glutamine-dependent amidotransferase reaction that replaces the oxygen on C-2 with an amino group to yield 2-amino,6-oxy purine nucleoside monophosphate, or as this compound is commonly known, guanosine monophosphate.
hi, if your looking for extra points (50+) and br ainiest here is ur chance, answer this question correctly plz
Answer:
Evaporation and condensation
Explanation:
If a pure compound is distilled, the head temperature will be____compared to the pot temperature. If however, an impurity is present that strongly interacts with the liquid molecules, then the____has to be increased in order to increase the vapor pressure of the liquid, ultimately to____atmospheric pressure, allowing the liquid to boil. Thus, at boiling point, the pot temperature will be____from that of the head temperature.
Answer:
If a pure compound is distilled, the temperature of the head will be compared to the temperature of the pot. However, if there is an impurity present that strongly interacts with the molecules of the liquid, then the temperature must be increased to increase the vapor pressure of the liquid, eventually to atmospheric pressure, allowing the liquid to boil. Therefore, at the boiling point, the temperature of the pot will be higher than the temperature of the head.
Explanation:
when temperatures increase, pressures also do so, thus reaching boiling points where liquid states become gaseous.

Help pleaseee!!!Please explain how evaporation condensation and precipitation are involved in the water cycle
Answer: The water cycle shows the continuous movement of water within the Earth and atmosphere. ... Liquid water evaporates into water vapor, condenses to form clouds, and precipitates back to earth in the form of rain and snow. Water in different phases moves through the atmosphere (transportation).
Explanation:
Answer:
water evaporates into water vapor, condenses to form clouds, and precipitates back to earth in the form of rain and snow.
Explanation:
evaporation, condensation, precipitation, and collection. condensation: this is when water vapor in the air cools down and turns back into liquid water. precipitation: this is when water (in the form of rain, snow, hail, or sleet) falls from clouds in the sky.
good luck :)
hopefully, this helps

Given the reaction
3 H3PO4 + 2 Ba(OH)2 ⇒ BaPO4 + 6 H20
How many grams of precipitate could you make if you reacted 286.0 mL of 3.000 M H3PO4 with 855.0 mL of 1.400 M Ba(OH)2
Answer:
240.17 g Ba3(PO4)2
Explanation:
1. Determine the limiting reactant.
2H3PO4 + 3Ba(OH)2 --> Ba3(PO4)2 + 6H2O
moles H3PO4 = M x V = 3 x 0.286 = .858 moles H3PO4
moles Ba(OH)2 = M x V = 1.4 x 0.855 = 1.197 moles Ba(OH)2
ratio Ba(OH)2 : H3PO4 = 1.197: .858 = 1.39: 1
stoichiometric ratio Ba(OH)2 : H3PO4 = 3:2
Ba(OH)2is the limiting reactant
MM Ba3(PO4)2 = 601.92 g/mol
g Ba3(PO4)2 = moles Ba(OH)2 x(1 mol Ba3(PO4)2/3 moles Ba(OH)2) x (MM Ba3(PO4)2/ 1mol Ba3(PO4)2) = 1.197 x 1/3 x 601.92 = 240.17 g Ba3(PO4)2
