The human male never passes on the gene for haemophilia to his son.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The gene for haemophilia is present on X-chromosome. A male has only one X-chromosome which he receives from his mother and Y-chromosome from father. The human male passes the X-chromosome to his daughters but not to the male progeny (son).

In a beautiful valley, there was a village. When trains passed from the village, the whistle and the sound of train, mixed with the sound of waterfall, seemed to be very pleasant to everyone. Hence, children of that village used to play near the railway track. Once on a very light foggy day, a group of children found that a fish plate was missing from the track. As such, all the villagers were worried. Prashant, one of the children, suddenly put his ear to the line and tried to know whether a train is coming or not. He knew a train is coming. He asked his friends to inform the railway cabin crew and he himself put off his red shirt and started running towards the train, waving his red shirt. The driver and cabin man got the alert signal in time and thus a major accident was averted. Why did Prashant use his red shirt instead of any other coloured shirts ?

The human ciculatory system can be thought of as a closed system of interconnecting pipes through which fluid is continuously circulated by two pumps the two pumps the right and left verticles of the heart, work as simple two-stroke force pumps. The muscles of the heart regulate the force by contracting and relaxing. the contraction (systole) lasts about 0.2s and a complete systole/diastole (contraction/relaxation) cycle lasts about 0.8s. For flood pressures and speeds in the normal range. the volume flow rate of blood through a blood vessel is directly proportional tot he pressure difference over a length of the vessel and to the fourth power of the radius of the vessel. The total mechanical energy per unit volume of blood just as it leaves the heart is E//V=rhogh+P+rhov^(2) Q. What is the gravitational potential energy of 8cm^(3) of blood in a 1.8 m tall man, in a blood vessel 0.3 m above his heart? (Note: The man's blood pressure is 1.3xx10^(4)N//m^(2) )
