The question is incomplete as it does not have the option which are:

1. Major depressive disorder

2. Disruptive mood dysregulation disorder

3. depressive disorder with short duration hypomania

4. Dysthymia

5. Schizoaffective disorder

Answer:

4. Dysthymia

Explanation:

Dysthymia or persistent depressive disorder is a long term depression disorder or mood which leads to the symptoms of depression like a sad mood which directly affects the social life like in school or at home or work.

The person with dysthymia feel low-self esteem, inadequate and lose interest in normal activities and the symptoms may last for a year but the symptoms continuously do not last for more than two months.

In the given question, the boy feels that he feels down, depressed mood, hopelessness which are the symptoms of the dysthymia in the early stages.

Thus, Option-4 is the correct answer.

dsp73

The correct answer is by using the antagonist.

The antagonist is a molecule that blocks a biological response by binding to the receptor. So, you add antagonists to the receptors you want to determine and see which antagonist blocked the response. By blocking the specific response you can get the answer what receptor it was.

Which factors affect the rate of deposition? Check all that apply. color of the sediment density of the sediment size of the sed
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

density of the sediment

size of the sediment

velocity of the agent of erosion

Explanation:

Deposition can be defined as the process of building up of sediment from chemical processes because the forces which are responsible for transporting Sediment are no longer sufficient enough to overcome the forces of gravity which is why density of the sediment, size of the sediment as well as velocity of the agent of erosion tend to affect

The rate of deposition due to the fact that

Larger and denser particles are heavier and land first before, less dense particles which cause round pieces of sediment settle more quickly than flat pieces .

Hence,density of the sediment,size of the sediment as well as velocity of the agent of erosion will often affect the rate deposition.

Alkaptonuria is an infrequent autosomal recessive condition. It is first noticed in newborns when the urine in their diapers tur
Arisa [49]

Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

Let the disorder be represented by the allele a.

Since the disease is an autosomal recessive one, affected individuals will have the genotype aa and normal individuals will have the genotype Aa or AA.

Since the four adults are carriers, their genotypes would be Aa.

                    Aa     x     Aa

Progeny:    AA    2Aa    aa

Probability of being affected = 1/4

Probability of being a carrier = 1/2

Probability of not being affected = 3/4

(a) The chance that the child second child of Mary and Frank will have alkaptonuria = 1/2

(b) The chance that  the third child of Sara and James will be free of the condition = 3/4

(c)

(d) If someone has no family history of the disorder, their genotype would be AA.

                 AA     x     aa

                        4 Aa

<em>The chance that a child with alkaptonuria will have an offspring with alkaptonuria if the child's mate has no family history </em>= 0

(e)

(f) <em>The chance that a child with alkaptonuria will have an offspring with alkaptonuria if the child's mate has no family history</em> = 0
